- TelecomTV has just conducted its second annual Open RAN market perception survey
- We asked the network operator community for their views on a range of Open RAN topics, including the potential energy-efficiency gains from deploying Open RAN technology
- Even the partisan survey respondents still aren’t convinced about this particular claimed benefit
It has long been claimed by its supporters that Open RAN can deliver sustainability gains for mobile operators. But the majority of mobile network operators are yet to be convinced of such claims, according to the results of a TelecomTV survey of telco executives that we’ve published in our new, 15-page, free-to-download, Open RAN Market Perception Report 2025.
Various claims have been made over the years for Open RAN, one of which has been that open, disaggregated, multivendor radio access network (RAN) deployments can be more energy efficient than traditional RAN systems for a number of reasons, one being that the open interfaces allow operators to deploy innovative third-party radio units that are less power hungry than existing products.
