£3,000.00 excl VAT
Most large-scale deployments of virtualised RAN (vRAN) at Tier 1 telcos are currently based on single-vendor architecture. But operators are deploying vRAN in innovative ways that aim to preserve many open RAN benefits. This report looks at the current status of vRAN and open RAN deployments as well as the increasing awareness of the importance of deploying cloud-native RAN across multiple containers-as-a-service (CaaS) layers.

Our latest update to the Telco deployment tracker includes analysis of open RAN deployments by Boost Mobile, Mavenir, Nokia and Ericsson. Ultimately, virtualised RAN (vRAN) dominates the telco cloud landscape for now – but with increasing open RAN benefits. We also explore the global deployments of open RAN and cloud RAN as of March 2025.
