MasOrange says one-third of its 5G network is O-RAN-ready
MasOrange, Spain’s largest mobile operator by customers, says it has made one-third of its 5G sites Open RAN-ready, in what it describes as Europe’s largest commercial Open RAN deployment. The company is rolling this out with Swedish vendor Ericsson.
MasOrange is using AI-driven software applications, known as rApps, to automate parts of network planning and operations. These tools handle tasks such as spotting network problems and adjusting energy use, aiming to make the 5G network cheaper to run and easier to manage over time.
