ONF announced a major milestone for the SD-RAN open RAN project with its first software release. The ONF is building an open source implementation that is consistent with this architecture. The release also includes the beginnings of an app-SDK which can ease the process of creating xApps that are portable across different nRT-RIC platforms. The O-Ran Alliance is defining this open architecture, TIP’s OpenRAN RIA subgroup is defining requirements for AI/ML use cases.
