在印度这样对价格敏感的市场，电信公司必须确保具有成本效益，尽早部署服务，并创造额外的收入来源，以保持领先地位。
专家表示，他们需要将网络部署和扩张的速度与不断增长的数据消费相匹配，以满足印度智能手机用户的数字需求。
这就是开放无线接入网络(RAN)架构的用武之地。
专家说，开放和虚拟化的RAN是移动网络的未来。
事实上，开放RAN将实现“印度制造”5克解决方案。
那么，RAN是什么?
RAN是电信网络的基本构件。
传统上，RAN是基于全球电信设备制造商的专有技术，如爱立信，诺基亚华为和中兴。
电信运营商不得不从一个供应商那里购买一整块软件和硬件。
然而，使用Open RAN，电信公司可以灵活地使用来自多个供应商的解决方案。
但开放RAN市场仍处于起步阶段。
目前，全球只有大约35个活跃的开放RAN部署。
其中许多涉及移动网络运营商在绿地、农村和新兴市场测试Open RAN。
跨国咨询公司德勤(Deloitte)在一份报告中表示，已经逐步开始的部署可能会在今年翻一番，但开放RAN技术可能需要三到五年才能成熟，尽管它的采用应该会迅速加快。
印度电信公司将Open RAN视为一种可行的方法，可以在将网络升级到5G技术时降低网络相关成本并进行定制。
这样一来，就只剩下爱立信(Ericsson)和诺基亚(Nokia)两家主要厂商了。
电信公司希望通过Open RAN引入创新，减少对传统供应商的依赖。
拥有成本更低
然而，我们面临着多重挑战。
德勤表示，由多个供应商和系统集成对端到端解决方案进行广泛测试的成本很高，在完全部署之前需要花费更多的精力和时间。
“开放RAN是一个重要的机会，也是一个巨大的商业利益领域。这可能会为电信运营商节省大量资金。然而，从更大的角度来看，电信公司将继续依赖爱立信、诺基亚等大型供应商，因为它们为网络提供端到端解决方案，”电信专家、利基咨询公司ComFirst的创始人马赫什•乌帕尔表示。
乌帕尔表示，5G解决方案的成本将会下降，但这是否会惠及消费者尚不清楚。
印度智能手机用户的平均数据消费在全球排名第二。根据爱立信的估计，到2026年，数据使用量预计将从去年的每月14.6 GB增至每月40gb。
随着5G时代的到来，数据消费水平预计将成倍增长。
德勤表示，虚拟RAN架构(开放或关闭)最引人注目的价值主张之一是，它们有可能降低RAN网络的总拥有成本(TCO)。这将来自于通过自动化降低前期资本部署成本和降低运营费用。
美国云原生网络软件提供商Mavenir估计，在使用Open RAN时，资本支出节省40%，运营成本节省37%，总体TCO节省37%。
马文尼尔咨询了外部分析师兼咨询公司森扎·菲利(Senza Fili)，对6年的TCO进行了估计。
开放RAN还鼓励创新。
openran不需要更换网络设备来引入新的特性和功能，而是使电信公司能够更新软件，以击败缩短变化的升级和创新周期。
2018年2月，全球电信巨头AT&T、中国移动、德国电信、NTT DoCoMo和Orange成立了O-RAN联盟。
Bharti Airtel而且依赖Jio是该联盟的成员，而沃达丰全球也是联盟的一部分。
许多联盟也出现在开放RAN上——即Facebook和开放RAN政策联盟的电信基础设施项目。
Airtel首席执行官Gopal Vittal在最近的收益电话会议上表示，通过与英特尔、高通、Mavenir、Altiostar和红帽等公司合作，Airtel正在领导该国的O-RAN计划。

战略联盟
Airtel最近宣布与塔塔集团和TCS建立战略联盟，建立基于Open RAN技术的5G网络，首先为印度推出产品和解决方案，随后将其推向世界。
印度用户数量最多的电信公司Reliance Jio Infocomm正在几个城市测试自己的5G Open RAN解决方案。其母公司Jio平台已与芯片制造商高通和恩智浦合作，生产虚拟RAN和小型电池，以支持其5G网络，适用于固定无线接入(FWA)等各种用例。
在全球层面，沃达丰集团正在开放RAN领域取得快速进展。
它最近宣布与战略供应商——戴尔、NEC、三星电子、Wind River、Capgemini Engineering和Keysight Technologies——建立合作伙伴关系，共同在欧洲部署首个商用Open RAN。
在印度,沃达丰的想法该公司还专注于未来5G网络的Open RAN。
“这是正确的方向行业继续前进。最初的部署将是开放RAN和集成RAN的混合，但从长远来看，一切都将是虚拟化的。”首席技术官Jagbir Singh最近在接受采访时告诉ET。
除了电信公司，Tech Mahindra、Saankhya Labs、Cyient等公司以及Sterlite Technologies (STL)、HFCL和Mavenir等设备制造商都看到了这个市场的巨大潜力。
“我们正在通过Open RAN为印度以及全球客户设计和开发解决方案。STL连接解决方案首席执行官Ankit Agarwal说:“STL的定位非常好，可以为电信运营商提供全套5G集成解决方案，从光纤到小蜂窝再到5G微蜂窝。
该公司最近任命美国电话电报公司(AT&T)前高管克里斯·赖斯(Chris Rice)为Open RAN和5G新业务部门的首席执行官。
Mavenir还与印度运营商和系统集成商合作，建立和运营基于Open ran的网络。
“我们正在与不同的供应商合作，制定一个具有成本效益的解决方案来解决开放RAN市场……(我们)也在努力根据‘印度制造’计划制造开放RAN产品。”我们预计在未来6-12个月内在印度大规模部署Open RAN，”Mavenir印度和南亚地区负责人兼区域副总裁Sanjay Bakaya说。
他说，在全球范围内，电信运营商采取循序渐进的方法，最初针对4G/5G绿地或棕地的部署，以确保健康的投资回报。
开放RAN架构也为印度软件、设备制造商和系统集成商打开了大门，可以在全球5G市场上分一杯羹。
简而言之，Open RAN似乎是一个不错的选择。
对于电信公司来说，它降低了资本支出和运营成本，通过更快地部署5G带来了更高的效率和创新解决方案。
对于系统集成商来说，这是一种全球扩张的方式。
对软件制造商来说，这是一个为全球市场打造“印度制造”解决方案的机会。

<\/figure>In a price sensitive market like India, telecommunication companies will have to ensure cost-effective and early deployment of services as well as generate additional revenue streams to stay ahead of the curve.
They need to match the speed of network deployment and expansion with growing data consumption to satiate the digital appetite of Indian smartphone users, experts say.
Here is where Open Radio Access Network (RAN) architecture comes in.
<\/div><\/div>Open RAN<\/a> will allow telcos to reduce capital and operating expenditures (capex and opex) as well as offer innovative digital solutions.
Open and virtualized RAN are the future of mobile networks, experts say.
In fact, Open RAN will enable \u2018Make in India\u2019 5G<\/a> solutions.
So, what is RAN?<\/strong>
RAN is the basic building block of a telecom network.
Traditionally, RAN was based on proprietary technologies of global telecom equipment manufacturers such as Ericsson<\/a>, Nokia<\/a>, Huawei and ZTE.
Telecom operators had to buy an entire block - software and hardware - from one vendor.
With Open RAN however, telcos have the flexibility to use solutions from multiple vendors.
But the open RAN market is still in its infancy.
Currently, only around 35 active open RAN deployments have taken place across the globe.
Many of these involve mobile network operators testing Open RAN in greenfield, rural and emerging markets.
Deployments, which have begun gradually, may double this year but the Open RAN technology could take three to five years to mature, though its adoption should accelerate rapidly, multinational consultant Deloitte has said in a report.
Indian telcos are eyeing Open RAN as a viable method to cut network-related costs and customise as they upgrade their networks to 5G technology.

<\/div><\/div>This has come at a time when Chinese vendors are unlikely to be a part of future network rollouts due to government restrictions following border hostilities last year.
That leaves only two major vendors, Ericsson and Nokia.
Telcos are looking to usher in innovation through Open RAN and cut dependence on traditional vendors.
Lower cost of ownership
<\/strong>
There are, however, multiple challenges.
Extensive testing of end-to-end solutions by multiple vendors and system integration is costly and takes more effort and time before they are fully deployed, Deloitte says.
\u201cOpen RAN is an important opportunity and a huge area of commercial interest. It could lead to substantial savings for telecom operators. However, from a larger perspective, telcos will continue to rely on big vendors like Ericsson, Nokia as they provide end-to-end solutions for networks,\u201d says Mahesh Uppal, a telecom expert and founder of niche consultancy ComFirst.
The cost of 5G solutions will come down, but whether that would trickle down to consumers is unclear, Uppal says.
Indian smartphone users consume the second highest data globally on average. Data use is expected to reach 40 GB per month by 2026, from 14.6 GB a month last year, as per Ericsson\u2019s estimates.
With the onset of 5G, data consumption levels are expected to increase manifold.
Deloitte says one of the most compelling value propositions of virtual RAN architectures, Open or Closed, is in their potential to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of RAN networks. This will come from lower upfront capital deployment costs and reduced operating expenses through automation.
US-based cloud native network software provider Mavenir has estimated savings of 40% on capex and 37% on opex, resulting in an overall 37% TCO saving while using Open RAN.
Mavenir did the TCO estimates over a six-year period, in consultation with Senza Fili, an external analyst and consulting firm.
Open RAN also encourages innovation.
Instead of replacing network gear to introduce new features and functions, Open RAN enables a telco to update software to beat change-shortening upgrades and innovation cycles.
In February 2018, global telecom giants AT&T, China Mobile, Deutsche Telekom, NTT DoCoMo and Orange formed the O-RAN Alliance.
Bharti Airtel<\/a> and Reliance Jio<\/a> are members of the Alliance, while Vodafone Global is also a part of it.
Many alliances have also come up on Open RAN \u2013 namely, Telecom Infrastructure Project by Facebook and Open RAN Policy Coalition.
Airtel is leading the O-RAN initiative in the country by partnering with companies such as Intel, Qualcomm, Mavenir, Altiostar and Red Hat, chief executive Gopal Vittal said during its recent earnings call.

Strategic alliances<\/strong>
Airtel recently announced a strategic alliance with Tata Group and TCS to build 5G networks based on Open RAN technology, to roll out products and solutions initially for India and take it to the world subsequently.
Reliance Jio Infocomm, the largest telecom company in India by number of subscribers, is testing its own 5G Open RAN solution in several cities. Its parent company, Jio Platforms, has partnered with chipmakers Qualcomm and NXP to make virtualized RAN and small cells to support its 5G network, for various use cases including fixed wireless access (FWA).
At the global level, Vodafone Group is making rapid strides in the Open RAN space.
It recently announced partnerships with strategic vendors \u2013 Dell, NEC, Samsung Electronics, Wind River, Capgemini Engineering and Keysight Technologies \u2013 to jointly deploy the first commercial Open RAN in Europe.
In India, Vodafone Idea<\/a> is also focusing on Open RAN for future 5G networks.
\u201cThis is the right direction for the industry<\/a> to move on. The initial deployment will be a mix of Open RAN and integrated RAN but everything's going to be virtualized in the long run,\u201d chief technology officer Jagbir Singh told ET in an interview recently.
Besides telecom players, companies such as Tech Mahindra, Saankhya Labs, Cyient and equipment makers such as Sterlite Technologies (STL), HFCL and Mavenir are seeing huge potential in this market.
\u201cWe are designing and developing solutions via Open RAN for Indian as well as global customers. STL is positioned quite well to offer a full suite of integrated solutions to telecom operators for 5G - from fibre to small cells to 5G microcells,\u201d says Ankit Agarwal, CEO - Connectivity Solutions, STL.
The company recently appointed former AT&T executive Chris Rice as the CEO of a new business unit for Open RAN and 5G.
Mavenir is also working with Indian operators and system integrators to build and operate Open RAN-based networks.
\u201cWe are engaging with various suppliers to put together a cost-effective solution to address the Open RAN market\u2026 (we are) also working towards manufacturing Open RAN products under the \u2018Make in India\u2019 program. We are expecting largescale deployments in India for Open RAN within the next 6-12 months,\u201d says Sanjay Bakaya, Country Head-India & Regional Vice President, India & South Asia, Mavenir.
Globally, telecom operators follow a stepwise approach, by initially targeting deployments around 4G\/5G greenfield or brownfield sites to ensure healthy returns on investment, he says.
The Open RAN architecture has also opened the door for Indian software, equipment makers and system integrators to capture a piece of the global 5G market.
In short, Open RAN seems to be a good bet.
For telecom players, it lowers capex and opex, brings in more efficiency and innovative solutions with quicker deployment of 5G.
For system integrators, it is a way of expanding their reach globally.
And for software makers, it is an opportunity to build \u2018Make in India\u2019 solutions for the global market.

Strategic alliances<\/strong>
Airtel recently announced a strategic alliance with Tata Group and TCS to build 5G networks based on Open RAN technology, to roll out products and solutions initially for India and take it to the world subsequently.
Reliance Jio Infocomm, the largest telecom company in India by number of subscribers, is testing its own 5G Open RAN solution in several cities. Its parent company, Jio Platforms, has partnered with chipmakers Qualcomm and NXP to make virtualized RAN and small cells to support its 5G network, for various use cases including fixed wireless access (FWA).
At the global level, Vodafone Group is making rapid strides in the Open RAN space.
It recently announced partnerships with strategic vendors \u2013 Dell, NEC, Samsung Electronics, Wind River, Capgemini Engineering and Keysight Technologies \u2013 to jointly deploy the first commercial Open RAN in Europe.
In India, Vodafone Idea<\/a> is also focusing on Open RAN for future 5G networks.
\u201cThis is the right direction for the industry<\/a> to move on. The initial deployment will be a mix of Open RAN and integrated RAN but everything's going to be virtualized in the long run,\u201d chief technology officer Jagbir Singh told ET in an interview recently.
Besides telecom players, companies such as Tech Mahindra, Saankhya Labs, Cyient and equipment makers such as Sterlite Technologies (STL), HFCL and Mavenir are seeing huge potential in this market.
\u201cWe are designing and developing solutions via Open RAN for Indian as well as global customers. STL is positioned quite well to offer a full suite of integrated solutions to telecom operators for 5G - from fibre to small cells to 5G microcells,\u201d says Ankit Agarwal, CEO - Connectivity Solutions, STL.
The company recently appointed former AT&T executive Chris Rice as the CEO of a new business unit for Open RAN and 5G.
Mavenir is also working with Indian operators and system integrators to build and operate Open RAN-based networks.
\u201cWe are engaging with various suppliers to put together a cost-effective solution to address the Open RAN market\u2026 (we are) also working towards manufacturing Open RAN products under the \u2018Make in India\u2019 program. We are expecting largescale deployments in India for Open RAN within the next 6-12 months,\u201d says Sanjay Bakaya, Country Head-India & Regional Vice President, India & South Asia, Mavenir.
Globally, telecom operators follow a stepwise approach, by initially targeting deployments around 4G\/5G greenfield or brownfield sites to ensure healthy returns on investment, he says.
The Open RAN architecture has also opened the door for Indian software, equipment makers and system integrators to capture a piece of the global 5G market.
In short, Open RAN seems to be a good bet.

Strategic alliances<\/strong>
Airtel recently announced a strategic alliance with Tata Group and TCS to build 5G networks based on Open RAN technology, to roll out products and solutions initially for India and take it to the world subsequently.
Reliance Jio Infocomm, the largest telecom company in India by number of subscribers, is testing its own 5G Open RAN solution in several cities. Its parent company, Jio Platforms, has partnered with chipmakers Qualcomm and NXP to make virtualized RAN and small cells to support its 5G network, for various use cases including fixed wireless access (FWA).
At the global level, Vodafone Group is making rapid strides in the Open RAN space.
It recently announced partnerships with strategic vendors \u2013 Dell, NEC, Samsung Electronics, Wind River, Capgemini Engineering and Keysight Technologies \u2013 to jointly deploy the first commercial Open RAN in Europe.
In India, Vodafone Idea<\/a> is also focusing on Open RAN for future 5G networks.
\u201cThis is the right direction for the industry<\/a> to move on. The initial deployment will be a mix of Open RAN and integrated RAN but everything's going to be virtualized in the long run,\u201d chief technology officer Jagbir Singh told ET in an interview recently.
Besides telecom players, companies such as Tech Mahindra, Saankhya Labs, Cyient and equipment makers such as Sterlite Technologies (STL), HFCL and Mavenir are seeing huge potential in this market.
\u201cWe are designing and developing solutions via Open RAN for Indian as well as global customers. STL is positioned quite well to offer a full suite of integrated solutions to telecom operators for 5G - from fibre to small cells to 5G microcells,\u201d says Ankit Agarwal, CEO - Connectivity Solutions, STL.
The company recently appointed former AT&T executive Chris Rice as the CEO of a new business unit for Open RAN and 5G.
Mavenir is also working with Indian operators and system integrators to build and operate Open RAN-based networks.
\u201cWe are engaging with various suppliers to put together a cost-effective solution to address the Open RAN market\u2026 (we are) also working towards manufacturing Open RAN products under the \u2018Make in India\u2019 program. We are expecting largescale deployments in India for Open RAN within the next 6-12 months,\u201d says Sanjay Bakaya, Country Head-India & Regional Vice President, India & South Asia, Mavenir.
Globally, telecom operators follow a stepwise approach, by initially targeting deployments around 4G\/5G greenfield or brownfield sites to ensure healthy returns on investment, he says.
The Open RAN architecture has also opened the door for Indian software, equipment makers and system integrators to capture a piece of the global 5G market.
In short, Open RAN seems to be a good bet.
For telecom players, it lowers capex and opex, brings in more efficiency and innovative solutions with quicker deployment of 5G.
For system integrators, it is a way of expanding their reach globally.
And for software makers, it is an opportunity to build \u2018Make in India\u2019 solutions for the global market.

Strategic alliances<\/strong>
Airtel recently announced a strategic alliance with Tata Group and TCS to build 5G networks based on Open RAN technology, to roll out products and solutions initially for India and take it to the world subsequently.
Reliance Jio Infocomm, the largest telecom company in India by number of subscribers, is testing its own 5G Open RAN solution in several cities. Its parent company, Jio Platforms, has partnered with chipmakers Qualcomm and NXP to make virtualized RAN and small cells to support its 5G network, for various use cases including fixed wireless access (FWA).
At the global level, Vodafone Group is making rapid strides in the Open RAN space.
It recently announced partnerships with strategic vendors \u2013 Dell, NEC, Samsung Electronics, Wind River, Capgemini Engineering and Keysight Technologies \u2013 to jointly deploy the first commercial Open RAN in Europe.
In India, Vodafone Idea<\/a> is also focusing on Open RAN for future 5G networks.
\u201cThis is the right direction for the industry<\/a> to move on. The initial deployment will be a mix of Open RAN and integrated RAN but everything's going to be virtualized in the long run,\u201d chief technology officer Jagbir Singh told ET in an interview recently.
Besides telecom players, companies such as Tech Mahindra, Saankhya Labs, Cyient and equipment makers such as Sterlite Technologies (STL), HFCL and Mavenir are seeing huge potential in this market.
\u201cWe are designing and developing solutions via Open RAN for Indian as well as global customers. STL is positioned quite well to offer a full suite of integrated solutions to telecom operators for 5G - from fibre to small cells to 5G microcells,\u201d says Ankit Agarwal, CEO - Connectivity Solutions, STL.
The company recently appointed former AT&T executive Chris Rice as the CEO of a new business unit for Open RAN and 5G.
Mavenir is also working with Indian operators and system integrators to build and operate Open RAN-based networks.
\u201cWe are engaging with various suppliers to put together a cost-effective solution to address the Open RAN market\u2026 (we are) also working towards manufacturing Open RAN products under the \u2018Make in India\u2019 program. We are expecting largescale deployments in India for Open RAN within the next 6-12 months,\u201d says Sanjay Bakaya, Country Head-India & Regional Vice President, India & South Asia, Mavenir.
Globally, telecom operators follow a stepwise approach, by initially targeting deployments around 4G\/5G greenfield or brownfield sites to ensure healthy returns on investment, he says.
The Open RAN architecture has also opened the door for Indian software, equipment makers and system integrators to capture a piece of the global 5G market.
In short, Open RAN seems to be a good bet.
For telecom players, it lowers capex and opex, brings in more efficiency and innovative solutions with quicker deployment of 5G.
For system integrators, it is a way of expanding their reach globally.
And for software makers, it is an opportunity to build \u2018Make in India\u2019 solutions for the global market.
