TIP CL TELU took the opportunity to showcase technology use cases developed by researchers at Telkom University's Center of Excellence, including PUI-PT AICOMS with Patriot-NET as a disaster response solution, CoE TIP with Netra for training solutions, and CoE MREC with Artificial Intelligence and Metaverse applications running on open network solutions to address real-world challenges and drive digital transformation.

This year, TIP CL TELU played a crucial role in shaping the open network landscape by actively participating in several panel discussions. Moderated by Lia Yuldinawati, Director of Strategic Cooperation and International Affairs at Telkom University, the panel featured industry experts like Katja Henke from i14y lab, Maggie Chao from ITRI, Ian Wong from VIAVI, and Julie Kub from NTIA.

The discussions focused on accelerating the role of Open RAN labs such as TIP CL TELU in supporting system-level testing to address challenges in the adoption of Open RAN solutions from the perspective of Mobile Network Operators.
