Kit vendor Nokia Networks and operator Telecom Italia have become incubation partners after signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to scout for new technology, with fresh ideas about how to use emerging networking technologies.
Software-defined networking (SDN) is one of the most interesting developments in network architecture to emerge in over a decade.
Huawei and its European partners are collaborating to create a unified 5G infrastructure for Europe, in order to underpin all future cloud and networking services.
With LTE-A and 5G mobile user throughputs rising to 1G and beyond, it is becoming increasingly costly to backhaul all traffic to the network core.
Bell Labs, the research arm of Alcatel-Lucent, has announced the first demonstration of its space-division multiplexed optical multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO-SDM) system.
Mobile equipment maker Huawei and operator Telefónica have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) over joint development of 5G networking technology.
In his keynote at AfricaCom, Cisco’s Paolo Campoli emphasised the possibilities brought by SDN to create new jobs and opportunities for service providers in Africa.
Alcatel Lucent is to help Burkina Faso to be the first West African nation to use the cloud to connect its public and private sectors.
The benefits of deploying software defined networks (SDN) are well documented and the cause of considerable industry excitement and expectation. The ongoing trend of digitization means operators need to demonstrate more service agility than ever before and radically enhance their response times
Telecoms professionals are overwhelmingly in favour of the new OPNFV initiative to make the virtualization of networks less confusing and stressful, according to a new study commissioned by the OPNFV.
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.
The Blue Planet whitepaper provides a high-level view of the Blue Planet network virtualization and service orchestration software. Extract: Orchestrate and manage services from end-to-end across both physical and virtual domains with Ciena’s award-winning Blue Planet network orchestration software. Blue Planet reduces operational costs by abstracting network complexity and drives greater competitive advantage through a […]
VMware has announced new programmes and functions to make it quicker and easier for mobile telcos to boost their networks with network functions virtualization (NFV) technology.
Perhaps one of the most important sources of standards in telecoms is ETSI – the European Telecommunications Standards Institute. ETSI has been around for over a quarter of a century, spanning the growth of digital right through to the present day mobile revolution.
Today, you’ll find Telecoms.com awash with talk of IoT, 5G, software defined networking and network functions virtualization. While it would be fairly argued the first half of that list is still some way off of becoming a reality, NFV has begun showing promising signs recently.
