The telecommunications industry is working hard to make the transition from 5G to 6G a reality. The General Services Administration reported last year that the target for establishing 6G as the commercial standard is 2030, because it will require research, innovation, and international agreement on new interoperability standards.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the components and processes that comprise Open RAN systems
Evaluate your agency’s systems and the groundwork that can be done now to prepare for open source hardware
Identify the system requirements to incorporate ISAC into your agency’s edge devices
Delineate steps to maximize AI use in ISAC-enabled networks, including assessment of available databases and their cleanliness
Determine what additional information needs to be gathered to utilize ISAC capabilities
Delineate the investments your agency has planned and how they can adapt to 6G in future use
Begin building a plan to harness 6G capabilities to enhance your agency’s performance and achievement of mission

OCUDU (Open Centralized Unit/Distributed Unit) is a collaborative initiative and open-source project hosted by the Linux Foundation, aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of 5G and 6G Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN).
