   AT&T told the FCC it plans to begin adding open RAN-compliant   
   equipment into its network "within the next year."   
      
   That puts AT&T on roughly the same timeframe as Verizon. Verizon's SVP   
   Adam Koeppe told Light Reading earlier this year that the operator's   
   5G hardware vendors - Ericsson, Samsung and Nokia - will begin   
   supplying open RAN-compliant equipment starting later this year. And   
   he expects that the bulk of their equipment shipments to Verizon will   
   comply with open RAN specifications by next year.
