Deutsche Telekom has deployed the first fully disaggregated 5G field trial, interconnecting components from over 8 vendors with ONF’s SD-RAN open source RAN Intelligent Controller (nRT-RIC). As the first full implementation of the O-RAN architecture with RU, DU, CU, RIC and xApps from a suite of different suppliers, this represents a milestone in the open RAN movement.

This live event will be the first opportunity for the public to hear about the challenges and triumphs of the deployment, gain insight into what is possible with today’s open technologies, and discuss details with the principles in charge of the deployment.
