Users prefer system integrators over telecom providers (as shown in the graph below) for connected equipment as information technology converges with communications at the edge. The trend reflects users’ expectations for solutions, as their priority, over simply network connectivity. In an open environment, especially with Open RAN, users can pick from the best-of-the-breed to customize solutions for their needs. System integrators configure the solutions and save the enterprise the complexity of putting them all together.
