The journey towards full cloud-native networks needs to be meticulously planned and executed so service providers are able to reap the promised benefits. In a recent interview with TelecomTV, Mavenir’s Bejoy Pankajakshan, EVP Chief Technology and Strategy Officer, elaborates on the key milestones for building a fully cloud-native network.
Mavenir’s cloud-native Open vRAN software has been deployed on Orange’s cloud infrastructure with NEC’s mMIMO active antenna unit to deliver high capacity and enhanced coverage.
Fixed and mobile broadband bring connectivity to most, but some rural and suburban areas still lack reliable high-speed internet. Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) has the unique capability to connect the unconnected and bring affordable broadband services to all.
Hyperscalers have redefined network transformation with cloud technology, driving partnerships with CSPs seeking a competitive advantage. But the learning curve of the Telco-specific requirements can be steep.
CI/CD is a crucial tool for Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to adapt, especially as networks are increasingly becoming software-driven with cloud-native functions that require automation.
Mavenir commends President Biden for signing the legislation into law, which will enhance the global Open RAN ecosystem, advance deployments, and increase vendor diversity.
CSPs are using hybrid cloud to retain private workloads while still reaping the scalability, performance, and costs benefits from the public cloud.
The agility and scale of the public cloud and niche communication infrastructure capabilities of CSPs are beginning to converge into a mutually beneficial relationship that will shape the innovation and operating models for the telecommunication industry in the forthcoming decade.
