Network elements must meet certain frequency, phase, and time requirements to ensure proper end-to-end network operation. Synchronization architectures defined by the O-RAN alliance dictate how Open RAN equipment can meet these requirements. Open RAN continues to attract interest from service providers looking to reduce cost, improve competition, and drive technology innovation. The desire for a…
