  • Vodafone's initiative will also contribute to the European Union's efforts to bolster its chip industry. 
  • The OpenRAN would enable Vodafone to quickly add new digital services and optimize networks using artificial intelligence (AI).
  • Earlier this month, Vodafone switched on Britain's first 5G OpenRAN site carrying live customer traffic in Bath, western England, kicking off a deployment that will number 2,500 sites by 2027.
  • Vodafone invested 225 million euros ($251 million) over five years on the R&D center involving the OpenRAN chip architecture.
  • Vodafone would design silicon for ARM and RISC-V instruction sets and Intel x86.
  • About 20 other vendors have joined the project, including Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:QCOM), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO), ARM, and Lime Microsystems, with half of the total coming from Europe.
