Software-defined infrastructure focuses on using common hardware to support variable 5G workloads
As service providers increasingly take an IT-centric approach to building and managing increasingly complex networks, there's a move toward swapping out single-purpose hardware for more flexible infrastructure that uses software to virtually spin-up...
Metaphors aside, big data is the key to AI development
We've all heard the comparison, perhaps too often, but here it is: big data is the new oil that business needs to run. But what exactly does that mean? IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, speaking to...
RAN Intelligent Controller development early focus of partnership
5G is often described as the first generation of cellular "born in the cloud," which describes a dynamic, flexible network that's increasingly automated through the use of NFV and SDN tools. This gives operators more flexibility while...
Service assurance and analytics company MYCOM OSI has been acquired by private equity Inflexion, which said that the telecom industry's transition to 5G and internet of things services represents a significant opportunity for MYCOM OSI's cloud-based assurance solutions. Financial terms of the deal were...
The cloud transformation that Huawei helped operator W implement is comprised of four steps: The first was forming a hybrid cloud blueprint and planning the migration rollout roadmap for the solution with the best return on investment (ROI). The second was building the cloud...
Once a successful proof-of-concept has been established, what’s next? The day after creating a proof-of-concept of your custom IC, you might ask “Now what do we do?” It is time to make your idea real and start developing a system prototype.
This white paper covers...
Huawei has established an Open Roads Community (OPRC) with leading operators and industry researchers who have a common vision and goal in digital transformation.
The OPRC has been established to carry out innovation and development research with digital transformation as the core. At the same...

RAN is part of larger 5G, cloud strategy
Orange Poland is continuing with its 5G strategy most recently by working with network infrastructure vendor Nokia to test out a cloud-based radio access network. The cloud RAN trial, which ran from March to May, saw radio...
With the transformation from hardware-centric networks to networked cloud platforms, the relationship between telecommunications companies (telcos) and their server(s) is inherently changing. Cloud computing introduced a software design paradigm that required a change in the ways enterprise and telco approach operations, and with it...
Networking and security IT infrastructures have evolved to a level of complexity unmanageable by operators and enterprises using a conventional approach. The ongoing reliance upon legacy network hardware and disjointed WAN architectures inhibit the operational agility required by global organizations looking to digitize business...
