Cellwize, the innovative Self-Optimizing Network (SON) solutions provider, announced that it is the first to offer a Network Functions Virtualized (NFV)-ready SON solution, that’s multi-technology and fully multi-vendor compliant. The elastic-SON, a flexible and on the demand based optimization solution for 2G, 3G and LTE, allows mobile operators to adopt a “pay-as-you-grow” rollout so that they can tailor the optimization and performance to fit the network’s requirements.
Cellwize said that it has achieved the first step towards NFV by virtualizing its SON and application servers, delivering its optimization through virtual machines in NFV environments. As a result, elastic-SON™ can be fully automated with other network functions in the cloud, making it the first such SON solution on the market.
“Innovation is close to our hearts and our clients can rely on us to provide them future proof technology. NFV has been a key development for 2014 and it makes sense for centralized-SON to be in the cloud. As operators move their networks into a virtualized environment, it is vital that the RAN section can be managed by a robust virtual SON solution.”
