Lifecycle Management of OAI O-RAN Network Functions via Nephio

Explore a 24-minute technical presentation demonstrating the latest developments in Nephio Release 2, focusing on the orchestration of O-RAN Network Functions and 3GPP Release 16 5G Core Network Functions using OpenAirInterface Software Alliance implementation. Learn about the integration of physical O-RU components and witness the establishment of end-to-end Over The Air (OTA) calls using 5G User equipment. Dive into the technical architecture spanning three deployment sites - Core, Regional, and Edge - each implemented as Single Node Openshift (SNO) clusters. Understand how these clusters interconnect through Backhaul switches, with the Edge cluster specifically utilizing a FrontHaul switch providing PTP support for O-DU and O-RU components. Gain valuable insights into the future of network orchestration and telecommunications infrastructure from experts at OpenAirInterface Software Alliance, Red Hat, and Telus Canada.
