07 June 2018
New Delhi, India - Vodafone India has deployed Nokia's
field-proven cloud packet core to cost-effectively provide faster
mobile broadband and enhance the scale and agility of its network
to ensure the timely launch of new services. Nokia's technology
leverages all the benefits of a cloud packet core architecture for
maximizing resource utilization and rapidly deploying services when
and where needed.
The Nokia Cloud Packet Core, supported by Nokia CloudBand
software, will meet the mobile data demands of 7.8 million
subscribers in Bangalore, the third most-populous city in India,
often referred to as the 'Silicon Valley of India'. This new
deployment contributes to Vodafone's ambition for competitive
operations, substantially accelerating time-to-market for
differentiated services and expanding business productivity.
The Indian mobile broadband market is experiencing exponential
growth in data consumption. A cloud packet core is essential for
service providers like Vodafone India to connect to a higher number
and variety of devices and to deliver a wider range of services
across different access technologies. Deployment of the Cloud
Packet Core's Cloud Mobile Gateway (CMG) will allow Vodafone to
launch a range of digital services for consumers and enterprise
customers.
The distributed architecture of the Cloud Packet Core supports
Vodafone India's strategy to be a digital telecoms operator,
enabling it to provide its customers with new and reliable
services, while increasing accessibility, performance and security.
For example, by deploying the CMG closer to the edge, customer
content can be downloaded locally, with reduced network latency
enabling Vodafone India to deliver a better experience to its
customers in Bangalore.
It is also Vodafone's endeavor to contribute positively to
the environment. With introduction of this new cloud architecture,
Vodafone India is also able to lower the power consumed to serve
per customer significantly, thus reducing its carbon footprint.
Vishant Vora, Director Technology, Vodafone India,
said: "We are thrilled to partner with Nokia and are
certain this technology will enable us to scale faster by improving
business productivity and network operations. Collaborating with
Nokia will also support us in providing a more reliable and
superior network experience to our customers. The
introduction of a new architecture also enables us to reduce power
consumption per customer, in our goal to contribute positively to
society."
Samar Mittal, account director at Nokia India,
said: "We are proud to help deliver Vodafone India's
vision of transitioning to a Cloud Packet Core to better handle
mobile broadband growth. Our technology also enables Vodafone to
deliver the best-in-class mobile broadband experience to the
customer and lives upto our joint social responsibility to reduce
carbon emissions."
