O-RAN Alliance takes steps to allay concerns of US regulations

NEW DELHI: The O-RAN Alliance iterated its commitment towards Open and intelligent Radio Access Network (RAN) and said its board has approved changes to O-RAN “participation documents and procedures” to allay concerns of some participants who may be subjected to US export regulations.

“The O-RAN ALLIANCE became aware of concerns regarding some participants that may be subject to U.S. export regulations and has been working with O-RAN participants to address these concerns,” the industry alliance said in an official statement.

This comes after Politico reported that Finland’s Nokia has halted its work in the industry alliance over concerns that it may face penalties from the US government for working with blacklisted Chinese entities.
