From programming languages like Go, to the Android mobile operating system that provides the foundation of billions of mobile devices across the world, to Kubernetes, which has become the default choice for container orchestration across the industry, Google has a long history of software innovation, and we’re eager to further solidify O-RAN’s journey to achieving truly open cloud software centricity.
Hybrid and multicloud solutions to enable choice
As 5G brings cloud, software, and network together, CSPs globally are embracing public cloud and multicloud for both IT and network transformation. Google Cloud’s solutions empower CSP developer ecosystems to seamlessly build and scale new applications across any environment, with Anthos providing a complete, open, hybrid, and modular solution that enables flexible deployment models across a wide range of RAN use cases.
Network leadership
Over the past decade, we’ve seen the network evolve through the emergence of programmability, open APIs, declarative intents and data models, and early software definition of network functions. Over the coming years, we believe this journey will accelerate with the shift to cloud-native networking across the board, bringing in end-to-end multi-domain automation and rich analytics. We’re bringing Google’s experience in building our own scaled global network to drive greater innovation and accelerate O-RAN initiatives in this space.
Network AI
Over the next decade, companies will undergo massive transformation towards an autonomous and self-healing network. This digital transformation will require architecting, designing, and deploying intelligence across a distributed cloud network that is fundamentally powered by AI and closed loop automation. Our vision is to work with the O-RAN ALLIANCE to enable cloud-native intelligent networks that are secure, self-driving, and self-healing—bringing Google's wealth of software experience and global leadership in the areas of machine learning, massive data processi
