BROWSING: network disaggregation

The latest Dell Technologies PowerEdge XR8000 telco-grade servers feature the Intel 4th Gen Xeon Scalable Processors with optional vRAN Boost With RAN modernization in the U.S. ongoing, and significant investment ramping in Europe and other markets, operators are increasingly focused on virtualization of radio access...

Disaggregation has taken the telecoms world by storm, initially reshaping the Radio Access Network (RAN) and now creating a domino effect that could permanently shift the telecoms landscape as we know it.  But what does this mean, specifically? What are some of the challenges? And...

Through products and partnerships, Dell Technologies is pushing open network architectures as a key enabler of 5G monetization Dell Technologies sees significant growth potential as telecom networks transition to cloud environments, hardware and software is disaggregated, and compute is distributed throughout the network to operator's,...

5G means more innovation and collaboration, which might offer increased opportunities for the female workforce Maria Lema, the co-founder of Weaver Labs, spoke with RCR Wireless News during the latest Women in Telco Forum about working in a 5G world and how the accompanying technology...

Corning exec: 'The fundamentals we are putting down now will carry forward to 6G' The evolution of 5G into a more mature, software-defined and cloud-native network technology brings with it material changes in the types of skills operators need. As a result, telecom companies are...

The co-founder of Weaver Labs Maria Lema takes listeners on a network desegregation deep dive and explains how this growing trend is changing the telecoms industry and how service providers operate in "really fun" ways. https://soundcloud.com/rcrwirelessnews/well-technically-network-disaggregation-is-making-telecoms-really-fun-ep-87?si=1edb61c14e1f4ea498c0893281765db3&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

In disaggregated 5G networks, “the attack surface area has increased dramatically,” Microsoft Azure for Operators CTO writes In its purest form, 5G is described as “cloud-native,” meaning that network workloads traditionally performed in purpose-built boxes are now run as software instances in centralized and decentralized...

The Open RAN RIC will bring CI/CD processes to telecom Although 5G still has a long tail of innovation left as it advanced to 5G Advanced with Release 18, there’s already material work happening focused on framing what its predecessor, 6G, will look like. One...

As companies increasingly start to build and run their own 5G networks, there is much talk about open standards in cellular radio access networks (RAN). The rise of the Open RAN standard allows vendor interoperability along with virtualized RAN on open, cloud-native hardware, both at...

Open RAN isn't the only place Vodafone sees the importance of disaggregation. It's also fixed its sights on Broadband Network Gateways (BNGs)

In my previous blog, I covered the promise and potential of network slicing. Another deployment use case which has seen tremendous interest and demand is the use of private networks. With the increasing digital connectivity of devices and equipment across different industry verticals and...
