Orange and Samsung aim to grow European Open RAN networks
Orange and Samsung are deepening their Open RAN and virtualised RAN (vRAN) partnership to widen rollout across Europe.
After running pilots since 2023, the two companies plan to increase the number of Open RAN and vRAN sites in 2026. Earlier live network integrations reportedly improved customer experience and overall quality of service, and the new phase focuses on scaling those deployments across Orange’s European footprint.
