Operationalizing Open RAN: Innovation, Interoperability, and Mission-Readiness for U.S. Defense Networks

As the boundaries between digital infrastructure and national security blur, Open RAN emerges as a cornerstone of the next-generation defense network—modular, intelligent, and built for speed. This panel looks ahead to a future where software-defined, AI-optimized radio networks form the foundation for autonomous systems, adaptive battle networks, and resilient communication at the tactical edge. Leaders from Radisys and the DoD’s 5G Cross-Functional Team will explore how Open RAN can accelerate a shift from rigid architectures to dynamic, mission-aware platforms. Together, they’ll map the trajectory from today’s pilots to tomorrow’s defense-grade, interoperable, and continuously evolving battlefield networks.

SPEAKERS:

  • Juan Ramirez - Director of the 5G CFT Team, U.S. Department of Defense

  • Arun Bhikshesvaran - CEO, Radisys Corporation
