Heavy Reading’s 2020 Open RAN Operator Survey was conducted in the summer of 2020, and this analysis was written in September and October. The online survey generated 75 responses from individuals working at communications service providers after non-qualified responses were deleted from the survey. Respondents were asked to self-assess their knowledge about mobile RAN strategy. Those that reported “no direct knowledge” or only “a little knowledge” of their company’s RAN strategy were also excluded from the survey and their responses are not considered in this analysis.
