With the Verizon Cloud Platform and virtualization learnings, the operator sees “a distinct competitive advantage”
Verizon has virtualized more than 10,000 cell sites so far, and is working toward a goal of bringing vRAN to more than 20,000 sites by the end of 2025. In...
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.

Canonical’s Charmed OSM is helping VMO2 to rapidly onboard new telco cloud network functions
Ubuntu maker Canonical announced Thursday that U.K. Communication Service Provider (CSP) Virgin Media O2 (VMO2) has chosen Canonical’s Charmed OSM as the telco’s orchestrator for hybrid workload deployments. Charmed OSM eases CSPs’ transition...
The past few years marked successful 5G deployments around the globe. In 2022 and on, the telecom industry will be fast at work, rolling out next-gen connectivity on a wider scale across cities and rural areas as well as verticals and enterprises.
To help communication...
The most significant role of telecommunications companies is keeping people connected: keeping companies in touch with clients globally, keeping colleagues in sync while working from home, and keeping relatives in contact. During the COVID-19 crisis, this role has become even more evident and crucial....
As the telecom industry works to enable 5G, virtualization and MEC for enterprise customers, they are first experimenting with how those technologies can benefit their own factories, office buildings and operations. Who's already using these advanced technologies, where and what benefits are they seeing?

As service providers move towards 5G in order to realize improved service, operational agility, and greater revenue potential, there is a technology evolution in infrastructure to shift from monolithic, vertically integrated solutions to disaggregated models based on virtualization and the cloud for distributed networks....
A Recap – the Ubiquitous Edge Platform
This is the second of two blog posts that explore the concept of a ubiquitous multi-access edge computing (MEC) platform that universally addresses edge computing needs, from customer premises to regional telco data centers. If you haven’t yet...
Korean carrier SK Telecom and compatriot company Samsung Electronics announced that they signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Intel for cooperation in the commercialization of an evolved 5G network functions virtualization platform.
Under the terms of the agreement, the...
5G Telco Cloud Platform follows VMware/Intel partnership on RAN virtualization
Operators have for years invested in virtualization of network functions, starting with the evolved packet core and now moving out to the radio access network. Most current 5G deployments are non-standalone meaning a 5G component...
In previous blogs in this “Who Disaggregated My RAN? series, we have looked at the benefits of a disaggregated Open RAN, including the growth of an ecosystem to support the deployment of an Open RAN. We have also looked at how these disaggregated solutions...
Telecommunication networks are becoming more and more essential every day and, in the process, gaining new opportunities. These opportunities will drive new business growth and create exciting areas for revenue generation. However, as with all opportunities, challenges exist and for communication service providers (CSPs),...
What is the best 5G deployment strategy? In recent conversations with mobile operators, many admitted to shying away from investing in full 5G standalone (SA). Instead they have opted for 5G non-standalone (NSA), with a focus on 5G radio and re-using the 4G core....
Service providers are launching new services faster than ever before and upgrading networks to fit the new 5G ecosystem. As they streamline offerings and build out advanced use cases, they’re getting help from an unexpected source: network function virtualization (NFV).
While many operators have completed...
Today, artificial intelligence (AI) adds new technologies to 5G research that can help address several challenges.
This white paper examines the current opportunities to accelerate the future of 5G communications networks with the help of AI.
It is not an exhaustive list nor a full description...
Network slicing. Major reductions in capex and opex. A better customer experience. These are all goals of NFV and SDN innovation but progress is slow and the need increasingly pressing.
Here we explore how operators cloudify their networks—while maintaining quality and control through the transition—to...
