Operators Embrace Virtualised, Open Networks with Agile Automation to Meet Future Demands

GSMA’s Mobile World Live Operator survey report, commissioned by Mavenir, confirms 98 percent of MNOs on a path to open network architecture.

Virtualised, automated mobile networks that leverage open architectures and cloud technologies are clearly the path forward for forward-thinking operators. In this recent survey, Mobile World Live asked executives from global network operators about virtualization, public and private cloud strategies, multi-generation networks, Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) and network automation.

The results show most mobile networks are moving to software, with a healthy portion also implementing Open RAN and moving some operations to the cloud. Almost all operators surveyed are investigating these technologies to some degree.
