Demo: Integration of Marketplace for the 5G Open RAN Ecosystem

Abstract

The Open RAN API and interface standards facilitate the new ecosystems where distinct hardware and software components are brought together to build 5G systems. Key to this concept is the seamless and efficient integration and monetization process among stakeholders. A marketplace serves as a means to realize this collaborative revenue sharing, eliminating the need for intricate proprietary agreements or contracts between each participant. This demo presents the marketplace strategy emphasizing software integration across diverse deployment settings, utilizing the API-centric integration Platform-as-a-Service (iPaas) model aligned with Open RAN standards.
