Will AT&T choose a disaggregated cloud platform for Open RAN?
Monday Feb 05, 2024
Monday Feb 05, 2024
In this podcast, Caroline Chappell, expert in cloud-native technologies, discusses a key test for AT&T’s open network credentials. The question is whether AT&T will pair its cloud platform with RAN functions from Ericsson or opt for a third-party telecoms cloud platform. This decision will shape the future capability to run RAN functions from various vendors in the future.
This podcast discusses
why a horizontal cloud platform is necessary for Open RAN
why high-capacity network operators (brownfield operators) need to take steps towards adopting Open RAN while incorporating openness into the process
who the horizontal cloud platform contenders are for AT&T’s Open RAN deployment and who is best placed to win the prize.

Will SpaceX continue to dominate satellite market?
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Monday Jan 29, 2024
In the last decade, SpaceX has achieved a near-monopoly on the satellite launch market, due to aggressive moves, improved reliability and delayed competition. At the same time, the company has manufactured more satellites than any other operator for its Starlink constellation and is now planning to sell satellites via its Starshield programme. Given the challenges involved in satellite manufacturing and launch, and SpaceX’s dominance in the market, established and emerging players have shown considerable concern in competing in these markets.
In this podcast, Christopher Baugh and Dallas Kasaboski, experts in satellite infrastructure, discuss the market landscape. They provide insights on how operators and vendors can learn from SpaceX’s trajectory in order to successfully compete in these dynamic growth markets.
