Samsung plans to take an active role in O-RAN'S work and will join relevant working groups within O-RAN to spearhead initiatives that include a focus on innovation through network virtualization and open standards development. These are critical areas that operators look for in building next-generation networks and bringing intelligence to its functions.

Prior to its O-RAN Alliance membership, Samsung Networks contributed to the xRAN Forum, a predecessor to the O-RAN Alliance in which Samsung was instrumental in the creation of the xRAN Fronthaul specification.
