Telefónica Germany has embraced full cloud-native transformation, recognizing the value and opportunity presented by cloud-native and 5G Standalone (SA). I’m pleased they trusted our expertise and valued our existing partnership in helping them leverage the value of cloud-native. This involved migrating 45 million subscribers onto dual-mode 5G Core on the Ericsson Cloud infrastructure, which facilitated the smooth implementation of 5G SA capabilities. It also included testing functionalities like Network Slicing. We also helped them to move closer to their goal of embracing automation to manage frequent software upgrades and react to market demands. Jochen Bockfeld, Director Technology – Common Services, Telefónica Germany, recognized the value of automation for their business: “With automation, we have laid the foundation for doing a major software upgrade not just once a year, but two, three times a year at least, if not more often on the configuration side. So, the flexibility we gained with Ericsson’s dual-mode 5G Core solution is significant.” Find out how they went on their cloud-native journey by reading the full case study here. https://ow.ly/XKpI50QMwW1 #CloudNative #5GCore #Telecoms

As businesses and society embrace digitalisation, pressure is mounting for telcos to run their networks in a resilient way while delivering high-quality services. At the same time, operators are striving to reduce costs and operate in a more agile manner. Stephen Terrill, senior expert for automation and management at Ericsson, discusses the role of cloud native on this journey and looks at what more should be done to enable telcos to be truly successful.

Cloud edge computing (MEC), NaaS and Telco APIs: Want to learn more about the state of telco edge innovation and deployment? Check out my blog post here and then come to the MEF Global Forum this Sunday of #MWC24 week in #Barcelona and hear from my panel of experts discussing MEC and Network API solutions that they are commercializing -- Sunday Feb 25 14:45 Register today!!!   Moderator: Doug Makishima, Summit Tech / Mobile Ecosystem Forum / CAMARA Project Panelists: Amazon Web Services (AWS): Mohit G., Head of Product at Amazon Web Services (AWS), Edge Compute Bridge Alliance: Ken Wee, SVP Partnership and New Business ECOBLOX: Theo Valich, CEO Orange: Sylvain Morel, Network API Governance Red Hat: Hanen Garcia, Global Telco Solutions Manager Salesforce: Abhijit Sur Sur, Senior Director - Product Management, Communications Industry   Overview: Mobile operators are transforming their networks into open, standardized Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platforms, enabling new applications and further accelerating digital transformation. Exposing network services externally to enterprises and app developers enables new services and also improves user experience and security for existing applications. With MEC (Multi-Access Edge Computing), enterprises can now cloudify applications that require low latency, data privacy, or extended security. NaaS APIs such as Quality of Demand, Device Location, Number Verification and SIM Swap, as well as those for marketing and business related services, enable exciting new applications that benefit from having direct access to network resources. Taken to the extreme, Operators can even offer entire private 5G networks using "network slicing," giving significantly more autonomy and control to enterprises.      #Telco #Innovation #Edge #NaaS #MEC #APIs #EdgeComputing #CloudEdge #5G #OpenGateway #NetworkAPI #TelcoAPI #CAMARA https://lnkd.in/giiXJqSS

The term “CLOUD NATIVE” refers to a way of designing and operating applications, network functions, and services in an open and flexible environment. We’re seeing an increased adoption of cloud native solutions in recent years, as there is now a growing need for agility, scalability and automation that can support the high-speed, low-latency requirements in modern mobile networking environments of the likes of 5G and 6G, which is on the horizon. NGMN’s “Cloud Native Manifesto: An Operator View” provides key principles and requirements for Cloud Native Telecom from an operator’s point of view and the focus required by the industry in order to accelerate the adoption of cloud native solutions in mobile networks.
