For this episode of the Rethink Wireless Podcast, principal analysts Caroline Gabriel and Phil Hunter discuss the recent FYUZ summit and a report on projected adoption rates of WiFi 7 by the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA). 

Caroline gives both her overall impressions from FYUZ (00:45 - 06:25), and goes into depth on Vodafone's search for macro Open RAN partners (06:25 - 21:26), mainly Nokia, and what implications this might have for the wider Open RAN ecosystem. 

Phil (21:40 - 35:40) on the other hand shares some insights and opinions regarding the WiFi vs 5G cellular rivalry in the context of a freshly released report by the WBA.

Hosted by Luc Braun.
