Welcome to O-RAN Part 3: SMO and O-Cloud
5G_112d | On-Demand | 5G Access | 1
Course Duration: 1 hour
The O-RAN alliance specifies Service Management and Orchestration, along with O-RAN-compliant RAN functions and an Open-Cloud or O-Cloud infrastructure. This gives wireless network operators the automation, intelligence, and open architecture they need to meet the demands of Industry 4.0, including use cases like Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. In this training, you will learn about both the Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) and the O-Cloud described and specified by the O-RAN Alliance. You will gain an understanding of how these technologies work together to create open and intelligent mobile networks. You will also learn about the benefits of O-RAN, including increased flexibility, reduced costs, and improved scalability.
Intended Audience
This course is designed for a broad audience of personnel working in the wireless industry.
