A T1 North American Wireless Operator has successfully implemented Openet's Policy Management that meets architecture requirements of Network Function Virtualization (NFV), representing an important step in infrastructure virtualization across the telecom sector. The virtualized Policy Manager enables dynamic scaling of capacity to meet the rapid growth of mobile data, and enables network updates and maintenance requirements without impacting subscriber experiences. The deployment which caters for 2G, 3G and 4G LTE networks supports more than one million transactions per second.
“This operator’s immediate need for virtualized policy was two fold; elastic scalability to accommodate bandwidth demand, and to enable network maintenance and updates without service interruption,” said Chris Hoover, GVP of Marketing at Openet. “By supporting virtualized infrastructure Openet helps operators decrease total costs of ownership, to improve operational performance and to drive agility in the operators’ markets.”
“Our research has confirmed that operators are actively developing and/or seriously considering deploying NFV in their networks, a trend driven by the service velocity and simpler provisioning that NFV promises, with the mobile core identified as a key target domain,” said Shira Levine, Directing Analyst, Service Enablement and Subscriber Intelligence at market research firm Infonetics Research.
