Release 002 of O-RAN Minimum Viable Plan
In 2021, O-RAN ALLIANCE introduced a new initiative describing how its specifications combine to form the first Release of O-RAN Minimum Viable Plan. This plan delivers the specifications needed by the open RAN ecosystem to create products that meet the highest priority needs of operators.
O-RAN Release 001 focused on creating Open Interfaces that include Open Fronthaul, transport, hardware and cloud.
The new O-RAN Release 002 focuses on enabling Open Intelligence. Features in Release 002 include specifications for Traffic Steering, Quality of Service and Quality of Experience Optimization, RAN Slicing, and Service Management and Orchestration.
40 O-RAN specifications published since November 2021
O-RAN ALLIANCE has released another set of technical specifications for open and intelligent RAN. 4 new specification titles comprise:
- O-RAN R1 interface: General Aspects and Principles v1.0
- O-RAN A1 interface: Test Specification v1.0
- O-RAN Acceleration Abstraction Layer High-PHY Profiles v1.0
- O-RAN Security Tests Specifications v1.0
Another 36 technical documents have been updated with extensions and new features. To learn more about the new and updated specifications, please read our web announcement . To access the O-RAN specifications, please visit our website .
Two O-RAN Global PlugFests planned in 2022
Building on the successful O-RAN Global PlugFest 2021, the O-RAN ALLIANCE plans to organize two global PlugFests in 2022 for its member companies and institutions. Offering two PlugFests will better accommodate the expanding work on integration and commercialization of the O-RAN solutions.
First O-RAN specification submitted to become ETSI Publicly Available Specification (PAS)
Throughout 2021, the O-RAN ALLIANCE extended its interactions with other industry bodies and standards development organizations. As one example, first O-RAN specification – the O-RAN Fronthaul Control, User and Synchronization Plane Specification – has been submitted for potential adoption by the ETSI Technical Committee Mobile Standards Group through the ETSI PAS process. Additional O-RAN specifications are being planned for future submissions to the ETSI PAS process.
About O-RAN ALLIANCE
The O-RAN ALLIANCE is a world-wide community of more than 300 mobile operators, vendors, and research & academic institutions operating in the Radio Access Network (RAN) industry. As the RAN is an essential part of any mobile network, the O-RAN ALLIANCE’s mission is to re-shape the industry towards more intelligent, open, virtualized and fully interoperable mobile networks. The new O-RAN specifications will enable a more competitive and vibrant RAN supplier ecosystem with faster innovation to improve user experience. O-RAN based mobile networks will at the same time improve the efficiency of RAN deployments as well as operations by the mobile operators. To achieve this, the O-RAN ALLIANCE publishes new RAN specifications, releases open software for the RAN, and supports its members in integration and testing of their implementations.

High Q Technologies and Creative Biostructure Announce Strategic Partnership Expanding Global Access to Quantum-Enabled EPR Spectroscopy2.6.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
Collaboration Aims to Accelerate Adoption of EPR Spectroscopy in Structural Biology and Drug Discovery High Q Technologies, a developer of quantum-enabled electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy systems, and Creative Biostructure, a structural biology Contract Research Organization, today announced a strategic partnership to support broader adoption of EPR spectroscopy for studying protein dynamics in pharmaceutical and biotechnology research. EPR spectroscopy is increasingly relevant as drug discovery turns toward disordered, flexible, and disease‑relevant protein systems that cannot be fully understood through static structural methods alone. However, broad adoption of EPR has historically been limited by instrument and workflow complexity, and the need for dedicated technical expertise in experimental design and data interpretation. Leveraging quantum sensor technology, FATHOM® EPR has overcome these challenges. By providing unique measurements of long‑range distances, FA
New Tacton Research Reveals Only 7% of Manufacturers Have Achieved End-to-End Value Chain Connectivity2.6.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
Despite growing digital maturity and AI investment, less than half of manufacturers are confident in their ability to deliver effectively on their sales promise to customers. Tacton, a global leader in Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) solutions for manufacturers of complex, highly configurable products, today released its annual State of Manufacturing report, revealing that rising product complexity is exposing critical cross-functional gaps despite continued investment in digital transformation and AI. Based on a survey of 280 manufacturing leaders in eight countries, the research found that 67% now describe their products as “very” or “extremely” complex, a 20-point increase in just one year. At the same time, only 7% use the same product configuration rules across every team and system involved in selling and building products, which is critical for reducing margin risk because of siloed functions and data. The report highlights a growing industry reality: while digital transformation
