O-RAN Virtual Exhibition has been launchedO-RAN Virtual Exhibition is a unique platform that allows O-RAN member companies to demonstrate their O-RAN based technology to the general public.
Regardless of MWC cancellation, O-RAN ALLIANCE is keen to allow presenting the achievements of its members. The platform currently hosts 18 demos from MWC Barcelona 2020, divided into categories of Openness and Intelligence.O-RAN member companies are welcome to add more O-RAN technology demos to the Virtual Exhibition.
The platform is ready to host more demos to substitute canceled MWC exhibitions or to augment real exhibitions in the future (and we are also working on much better look&feel of the Virtual Exhibition).
The platform is sponsored by O-RAN. Presenting companies are responsible for the demo content (videos, powerpoints, PDFs or other), with O-RAN offering to mediate support for the content creation through its creative agency.Any company that wants to present a virtual demo, please fill-in your inputs at the wiki:

The O‐RAN Alliance is preparing for 2nd O‐RAN Plugfest/PoC in September 2020 which aims to accelerate the maturity of O‐RAN products and solutions via conducting the conformance and interoperability tests. The plugfest will take place in four venues with different scopes: Asia, Europe, India and North America The presentation and demonstration of results and outcomes (incl. workshops, readout and wrap-up meetings) will take place from September 21 to October 2, 2020 (after O-RAN face to face meeting). Call for Participation We are kindly inviting the companies to join the plugfest/PoC[1]. If a company (vendors, integrators, SW developers, test equipment or service providers, etc.) is interested to participate in one or multiple plugfest/PoC venues, please contact the relevant person with the necessary details. Final scope, goals and arrangement of plugfest/PoC venue will be agreed with the involved participants and available HW & SW. [1] The number of participants in the given venue may be limited due to reasonable reason (e.g. space limitation) based on non-discriminatory basis (e.g. a first-come first‑served basis). |
