   BARCELONA, Spain – T-Mobile US has been aggressive in rolling out new   
   technology to support its rapidly expanding 5G network, but has so far   
   not dipped its commercial toe into the open radio access network (RAN)   
   space.   
      
   Neville Ray, president of technology at T-Mobile US, explained during   
   a one-on-one interview at the MWC Barcelona 2023 event that the   
   carrier’s lack of open RAN depth is due to timing. He explained that   
   the technology lacked maturity when the carrier kicked off its   
   expansive network upgrade program.   
      
   “For us, we didn’t go down on open RAN path when we made our big   
   vendor decisions three years ago,” Ray said. “The pace and scale that   
   we were moving on, features and capabilities we needed, the ecosystem   
   just was not ready. And the O-RAN guys will tell you that.”
