The Joint O-RAN Software Community (OSC)/Open Source Focus Group (OSFG) and OpenAirInterface (OAI) Workshop will be held in partnership with the Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things at Northeastern University – Innovation Campus, Burlington on the 14-15 November 2023.
The purpose of the workshop is to bring the two communities together to define the roadmap for collaboration on open source reference designs and to roll out showcases of the O-RAN architecture.
This workshop will also allow participants to present and visit demos of the latest O-RAN integrations in open source. Talks and panels will give the opportunity to interact with the leadership and members of the two communities. The participants will be able to discuss technical details as well as debate other matters like software usability, availability, development, testing, and deployment methodologies. This is a face-to-face event.
