Why 6G is impossible without Open RAN

Without Open RAN, the promise of 6G technology and AI-integrated networks remains out of reach. Here is why. Stéphane Téral and Kristian Toivo discuss the architectural requirements necessary to bridge current limitations. They explain why Open RAN is not just an alternative, but a functional prerequisite for the next generation of connectivity. The discussion focuses on the symbiotic relationship between AI-RAN and open infrastructure. We examine how these systems must evolve together to meet future performance demands in telecom architecture. Understanding these dependencies is essential for engineers planning the transition to a more flexible network infrastructure.
