Countdown to 6G Standardization – Views
from Industry and Research Communities
O-RAN specifications and open software are enabling a broad industry ecosystem. Companies of different sizes and specializations can use them to create their innovative and competitive open solutions.
Defining the complex O-RAN Architecture is a step-by-step process resulting in hundreds of technical documents.
O-RAN specifications serve as a basis for open software reference design.
The O-RAN Software Community hosts developers brought in by many O-RAN players, cooperating on tens of software projects.
O-RAN Global PlugFests are periodic events organized and co-sponsored by O-RAN ALLIANCE to enable efficient progress of the O-RAN ecosystem through well-organized testing and integration. Vendors and providers come together to test, evaluate and verify their products and solutions.

The O-RAN architecture and specifications build on common RAN standards. Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) and industry bodies align with O-RAN ALLIANCE to avoid fragmentation or duplication of efforts. O-RAN specifications are being adopted by ETSI, illustrating the global move towards O-RAN and advancing the O-RAN ALLIANCE’s mission.
The O-RAN Architecture and specifications build on common 3GPP standards and care about alignment
with other industry bodies to ensure compatibility and to avoid duplication of work.
