The term ‘cloud native’ is something that the telecoms industry has been gradually coming to terms with in recent years, but for the term remains loosely defined and somewhat ambiguous.
For Inbar Lasser-Raab, chief marketing officer at DriveNets, cloud native networks can be defined by three key factors, each with their own clear benefits for the operator.
1. Disaggregated hardware and software – By decoupling the hardware and software, and allowing the latter to run on standardised, ‘white box’ network equipment…
Back in August, T-Mobile accused Dish of ‘dragging their feet’ regarding the operator’s slow transition of customers off of CDMA (i.e., 3G) services and onto their. Now, T-Mobile is delaying their own CDMA shut down by an additional three months, perhaps in an effort to give Dish some wiggle room…

The deal, which was estimated at around A$2 billion, would be largely financed by the government in an effort to stop geopolitically important communications infrastructure in the Pacific falling into China&rsquo…
The timely deployment includes Nokia’s voice core, cloud packet core, subscriber data management, signaling, network exposure, policy controller, cloud infrastructure, and security management for radio transport. With a 5G standalone core network, Taiwan Mobile can readily provide the most advanced 5G services such as network slicing and smart city solutions that require ultra…
Belgium’s journey in allocating 5G spectrum has been highly problematic, with numerous delays caused not only by the onset of the coronavirus pandemic but, more generally, due to disagreements between federal and regional governments.
By July 2020 an agreement between the various stakeholders had still not been reached…
At the start of 2021, Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefonica, and Vodafone all signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreeing to collaborate and jointly focus on developing Open RAN technology. Not to be left out, TIM became the fifth signatory of the MoU just weeks later and since then has been advancing steadily with its Open RAN drive…
The last year should have been a golden year for European telecommunication (telecoms) companies. Tens of millions of people were forced to work from home in response to Covid-19 and have become increasingly reliant on robust residential broadband and mobile phone networks to do their jobs and entertain themselves. Demand for the industry’s most important product — connectivity — has never been higher.
With the advent of significant mergers and acquisitions in the UK telecoms sector, such as Vodafone’s move to split off its telecom tower business into a separate company to handle the business of constructing, owning and operating its communications towers and Telefónica’s decision to merge its O2 business in the UK with Virgin Media, the race is on to acquire customers and secure market share. At the same time, organisational need to deliver a superior brand and customer experience to retain customers has never been as vital…
In an interview with Reuters yesterday, Aung Naing Oo, the military junta’s appointed investment minister, revealed the military wants to meet, in person, with Telenor’s executives, describing it as “kind of a request not to leave the country.”
