This case study details Telus's implementation of Open RAN technology in response to a Canadian government mandate to remove Huawei solutions from service provider networks by 2027. Telus aims to be the first in North America to adopt a fully O-RAN-compliant 5G network, with deployment ambitions set for 2024. The document outlines the challenges faced by Telus, including the integration of Open RAN with existing systems, adherence to industry standards, and the transition from a traditional deployment model to a multi-vendor O-RAN-based approach. It also describes the partnership with Wind River and Samsung to deploy the Wind River Studio solution, which includes various integrated components. The results of this deployment highlight benefits such as reduced operational costs, improved network performance, and compliance with government regulations. The case study emphasizes Telus's commitment to innovation and the advantages of adopting a disaggregated network architecture.
