The wireless transport part of the software defined networking (SDN) stack works and Huawei and the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) have the proof, they say.
Software Defined Networking (SDN) has brought with it the expectation of reduced network complexity and a reduction in operational cost. This all stems from a fundamental abstraction of traditional control functions from network forwarding devices, such as switches and routers. The prospect of lower cost comes from the simplification of networking hardware, and the use of lower-priced, mass produced hardware performing forwarding functions.
Colt has announced a new offering which claims to help enterprises and wholesale operators get the full benefits of virtualization at reduced cost and complexity.
A new start up claims its mobile network virtualisation software can solve a looming traffic crisis in the IoT and save governments billions of pounds as the networks for emergency services are updated.
Running voice services over a virtualized 4G network works and ZTE, HP and China Unicom claim to have the evidence.
Coriant claims it has created a breakthrough in the field of software defined networks (SDN) by unblocking one of the transport level glitches that have stopped telcos and data operators from enjoying the fullest liquidity of their digital assets.
