The eBook explains how effective RF planning is critical to successfully designing and deploying Open RAN networks. Unlike traditional RAN architectures built on proprietary, tightly integrated hardware and software, Open RAN disaggregates the network into radio, distributed, and centralized units that can be virtualized and sourced from multiple vendors. This new level of openness increases flexibility and innovation but also places higher demands on planning accuracy and coordination. The guide explores how Open RAN planning differs from conventional approaches, outlines best practices to ensure performance and reliability, and illustrates real-world success through examples such as Rakuten Mobile. It also shows how advanced planning tools can support efficient Open RAN deployment and op
