DISH has chosen inventory and service order management software from Blue Planet, a division of Ciena, to intelligently automate its 5G wireless network.
As DISH builds the nation's first cloud-native, OpenRAN-based, virtualized 5G network, Blue Planet's software will help provide a completely automated solution to drive operational efficiency.
To support end-to-end automation, Blue Planet seamlessly integrates into DISH's network slices, which reduces OpEx and better ensures customer satisfaction.
