    BARCELONA, Spain rCo T-Mobile US has been aggressive in rolling out new technology to support its rapidly expanding 5G network, but has so far
    not dipped its commercial toe into the open radio access network (RAN)
    space.

    Neville Ray, president of technology at T-Mobile US, explained during
    a one-on-one interview at the MWC Barcelona 2023 event that the
    carrierrCOs lack of open RAN depth is due to timing. He explained that
    the technology lacked maturity when the carrier kicked off its
    expansive network upgrade program.

    rCLFor us, we didnrCOt go down on open RAN path when we made our big
    vendor decisions three years ago,rCY Ray said. rCLThe pace and scale that
    we were moving on, features and capabilities we needed, the ecosystem
    just was not ready. And the O-RAN guys will tell you that.rCY
