This 1-hour course provides a quick overview of the general reasons for Open RAN and outlines the technical architecture and principles for O-RAN.

This condensed Open RAN course is the perfect way to kick-start your path on the Open RAN journey, regardless of your end goal. Perhaps you are aiming for expert level of knowledge, and this is your first stepping stone, or you just want to keep up with the buzz and learn what is going on at the current forefront of the mobile evolution. It establishes important technical concepts and terms, and puts Open RAN into context by relating it to use cases and current technological trends.

Open RAN in an Hour provides enough foundation to be able to navigate the technical terms commonly used to discuss the Open RAN concept. It gives you the framework necessary to formulate relevant questions and understand how the major puzzle pieces of Open RAN fit together.

This course exists in a longer version, Open RAN in Half a Day, covering all topics in much more detail.
