Weekly Telecom Industry Highlights as at 30 November, 2024.
A primary highlight this week, has been the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA-24) held in New Delhi, where global telecom leaders gathered to set standards for telecommunications over the next four years. These standards are crucial for harmonizing protocols worldwide and addressing emerging trends like 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), and Open Radio Access Networks (ORAN).
On a structural level, the adoption of ORAN technology, which promotes open standards over proprietary systems, continues to gain momentum. This shift allows more flexible, cost-effective network setups, encouraging collaboration between operators and vendors on network management.
