Disaggregated O-RAN drives innovation, supply chain diversity, and TCO reduction because radio access networks are disaggregated and virtualized, with open interfaces that feature multi-vendor interoperability, automation, and the benefits of virtualization. Payoff is substantial: increased flexibility and lower ownership costs. But O-RAN raises challenges for network design evolution. So how can you design efficiency into your O-RAN architecture?
A pioneer in open networks, Capgemini spearheads the design, development, and integration of virtualized and disaggregated radio networks. Our engineers accelerate O-RAN product development through customizable, standards-based, pre-built software frameworks for centralized and distributed units of the radio network. Deep expertise from silicon, protocol development, cloud platforms, orchestration, and data-driven intelligent RAN platforms helps us accelerate O-RAN market readiness for network equipment providers. We help telcos design, test, validate, deploy, and manage O-RAN while our global 5G labs provide testing, validation, and interoperability of multi-vendor solutions.
We work with 50+ network equipment providers, test/measurement companies, semiconductor companies, telcos, and leading innovators. We’re active in industry organizations and standardization bodies, including the O-RAN Alliance, Telecom Infra Project, and GSMA.
We supported groundbreaking- experiments and deployments with CSPs, and today we continue to help telcos worldwide design intelligent systems for smarter, more efficient, fully automated open networks, using an E2E approach that includes automation and orchestration.

Read the POVCapgemini has developed a set of software frameworks that enable NEPs and CSPs to accelerate the development and launch of their products by 30 to 60%. The frameworks cover the entire end-to-end 5G open network ecosystem. RATIO is Capgemini’s O-RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) and is also integrated with the award-winning Capgemini NetAnticipate platform integrating AI and multiple machine-learning (ML) models.
Read moreRATIO is a highly scalable platform based on hardened open-source components from O-RAN SC and supports a fully disaggregated RIC architecture. RATIO is fully aligned with the O-RAN Alliance specification and supports multi-vendor centralized units (CU) and distributed units (DU) through standard O-RAN interfaces.
Download the flyerIn all the efforts to standardize Open RAN, one crucial element demands attention – the fronthaul network. In a joint effort, Capgemini Engineering and UfiSpace are collaborating to support Open RAN initiatives with disaggregated, modular and programmable solutions. In this white paper, we consider efficient fronthaul solutions to mitigate specific challenges in RAN evolution.
The Virtualized Radio Access Network (Virtualized RAN) has emerged as the optimal technology choice to help operators scale without financial burdens. Capgemini Engineering’s cost-effective offering supports vRAN, OpenRAN and O-RAN architectures

5G has several industrial, medical and consumer uses that are now being widely deployed within enterprises and various mobile environments.
Read moreWithout efficient automation, telcos are currently devoting upwards of 50% of their network operations to RAN. So how can automation accelerate and take its place at the heart of Open RAN?
Cloud-native, AI-optimized 5G open RANs (O-RANs), are fundamentally different from any previous mobile generation. They’re a step change on how radio networks are designed and built. Open networks require broad industry collaboration to become reality and live up to their potential. The good news is that many operators, vendors and other stakeholders have recognized that need and are now collaborating
