Mavenir kondigt Virtual Network Slicing Suite voor 4G/5G aan

End-to-end netwerk slicing mogelijk voor applicaties, core en radio

RICHARDSON, Texas – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Mavenir, gericht op het versnellen van de transformatie van het softwarenetwerk en het opnieuw definiëren van de netwerksystemen voor communicatieserviceproviders, heeft vandaag zijn gevirtualiseerde netwerk slicing software-oplossing CloudRange ™ Network Slice Suite aangekondigd. Die maakt end-to-end-netwerk slicing mogelijk, zowel in 4G- als 5G-netwerken.

Terwijl mobiele operators hun netwerken voorbereiden op 5G en IoT, bieden de toenemende en variërende connectiviteitseisen mogelijkheden voor nieuwe bedrijfsmodellen. Netwerk slicing creëert meerdere netwerken die dezelfde fysieke infrastructuur delen. Hiermee kunnen operators een deel van hun netwerk aan een bepaalde functionaliteit besteden en wordt het eenvoudiger om 5G-applicaties te implementeren.

Mavenir Announces Virtualized Network Slicing Suite for 4G/5G

Provides End-to-End Network Slicing Selection across Applications, Core and Radio

RICHARDSON, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Mavenir, focused on accelerating software network transformation and redefining network economics for Communications Service Providers, today announced its virtualized network slicing software solution called CloudRange™ Network Slice Suite that enables end-to-end network slicing for radio, core and applications, both in 4G and 5G networks.

As mobile operators are preparing their networks for 5G and IoT, the increasing and varying connectivity demands present an opportunity for new business models. Network slicing creates multiple networks that share the same physical infrastructure. This allows operators to dedicate a portion of their network to a certain functionality and makes it easier to deploy 5G applications.

Operators can use their existing network for slicing selected services and create additional slices for new, differentiated services that increase revenues. The Network Slice Suite works across radio, core, and applications to allow criteria that are required for practical deployments such as subscriber data/intelligence in the network, MVNO network setup, and network upgrade with virtualized multi-vendor deployments.

“Having the capability to apply network slicing to existing 4G networks today provides operators with a new set of options to offer new bespoke services and reduce costs of existing traffic. We have built a slicing orchestrator function that works across the radio, the core and applications,” said Pardeep Kohli, President and CEO, Mavenir. “Until now, it’s just been applications and core running through NFV but we are implementing a similar approach with Mavenir’s Cloud RAN which includes radio slicing. We are essentially redefining the mobile network economics today and providing a runway for migration to 5G.”

“Operators are looking for more complete slicing solutions that involve all parts of a service from end-to-end,” stated Michael Howard, executive director, research and analysis, carrier networks, IHS Markit. “Mavenir now offers a new approach with virtualized end-to-end operations including the radio slicing, which changes the cost equation for most operators and makes it easier for them to deploy 4G and 5G networks.”

CloudRange Network Slice Suite supports network slicing in 4G networks and 5G Ready networks, and includes Slicing Selection Function (SSF) for radio, NAS Network Selection Function (NNSF) for packet core Mobility Management Entities selection and Core Gateway Network Selection (CGNS) for packet core Control and User Plane gateway entities selection. Service Orchestration (SO) allows E2E setup of services and interfaces with SDN-C for programming the underlying network.

CloudRange, Mavenir’s network functions virtualization (NFV) and container management and orchestration (MANO) platform, is built with a Cloud Native and Web-Scale architecture, drastically driving down the network economics for mobile operators with scalability, efficiency and automation.
