Networks

• Radio Access Network (RAN) operations have traditionally relied on vendor-specific hardware and tightly coupled systems. Open RAN is reshaping this model by introducing openness, interoperability, and greater flexibility—particularly through the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) and software-driven innovation. Teams at Orange, notably in Egypt and Poland, are actively contributing to this transformation.
• Their newest RAN innovation, an accessible and reliable testing platform, fosters collaborative innovation and helps fully realize the promise of Open RAN.
• RIC Testing as a Platform relies on both a digital twin and AI.
