## retained text



```
The RAN is entering a new phase where the principles of openness, the flexibility of cloud-native architectures, and the power of AI converge. Open RAN has laid the foundation for disaggregation, Cloud RAN provides the architectural pathway to scalable automation, and AI-RAN represents the emerging ambition to embed intelligence throughout every layer of the network. Together, these forces are reshaping the strategic and technical landscape.
Join this webinar on July 28th with RCRTech and Nokia to explore what this convergence means for operators, vendors, and the future of the RAN.
Aji Ed, Vice President, Head of AIRAN and Cloud RAN, Nokia
Sushil Rawat, Director, RAN Strategy, Telus
