Nokia, Ericsson Peg Automation as Next Open RAN Level

Executives from Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung, and OREX SAI believe the open RAN sector is maturing.

At TIP FYUZ 2025 in Dublin, leading vendors showcased compatible products as part of their core proposition, highlighting automation as a key next step for the sector.

Robert Backhouse, CTO Americas at Nokia, argued the impact of openness on infrastructure players is more one of evolution than revolution.

Nokia aims to disrupt the industry through a recent partnership with chip company Nvidia.
