ORGANIZATION MGMT, SALES STRATEGIES- There is no additional organizational management or sales strategies for this use case outside of a service providers "normal" ONAP deployment and its attendant organizational resources from a service provider.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - This requirement enhances the A1 adapter/interface capabilities provided in Rel 6 as part of 5G/ORAN & 3GPP Standards Harmonization requirement ( REQ-38). O-RAN has defined A1 interface specification in the context of the management of 5G RAN elements to provide intent based policies for optimization of the RAN network performance.
BUSINESS IMPACT- Continuing the convergency between ONAP and ORAN initiated in Rel 6, A1 interface can be used by all service providers and avoid duplicate development effort.
.BUSINESS MARKETS -Enhanced A1 capabilities, once developed, will be useable by any service provider deploying and using ONAP.
FUNDING/FINANCIAL IMPACTS - A1 interface provides a flexible way for the operator to manage wide area RAN network optimization, reducing capex investment needs.
ORGANIZATION MGMT, SALES STRATEGIES- There is no additional organizational management or sales strategies for this use case outside of a service providers "normal" ONAP deployment and its attendant organizational resources from a service provider.
