The O-RAN Software Community (SC) is proud to participate in the O-RAN ALLIANCE Face-to-Face (F2F) Meeting this week in Fukuoka, Japan—a vital gathering that brings together stakeholders from across the global Radio Access Network (RAN) ecosystem. This event is a cornerstone of collaboration, offering a unique opportunity for in-person discussions, planning, and alignment between industry experts from around the world.
With 320 experts from 94 companies and institutions joining in person—and many more connecting remotely—this meeting is a vibrant hub of innovation and progress. Participants span a wide range of sectors, including mobile network operators (MNOs), vendors, research institutions, academia, and government agencies, all working toward the common goal of defining and advancing open, intelligent, and disaggregated RAN.
Throughout the week, 11 parallel work streams run from morning to evening, filled with Work Group and Focus Group sessions. These intensive meetings allow the community to align on architecture, specifications, implementation plans, and interoperability—all essential for advancing the O-RAN vision. Despite time zones or travel fatigue, the energy is high, and the focus is clear: building the future of RAN together.
Face-to-face collaboration plays a critical role in accelerating standardization and resolving complex challenges. That’s why the O-RAN ALLIANCE organizes F2F meetings three times per year, rotating between Asia, Europe, and the Americas. These gatherings help deepen community bonds and strengthen cross-organizational efforts.
The O-RAN Software Community is grateful for the continued dedication of all its members and participants who contribute their time, expertise, and vision. Thank you for helping move the needle toward an open and interoperable RAN ecosystem.
