The broad goal of the Telecom Infra Project is to take the cost out of crucial network infrastructure by disaggregating hardware and software and moving functionality onto commercial-off-the-shelf hardware. By pushing open interoperability between vendors, along with the move to COTS equipment, operators could gain deployment flexibility while cutting down on capital expense. During TIP’s annual summit this week in London, operators made major announcements around opening up the RAN and transport networks.
