Indonesia's largest mobile
service provider Telkomsel has selected Ericsson's (NASDAQ:ERIC)
NFV infrastructure (NFVI) core network technology for a major core
network upgrade as it moves towards 5G deployment. Ericsson's core
network solutions will enable Telkomsel to improve speed,
efficiency and agility for its current business and for future
opportunities.
With increasing Radio Access Network (RAN) speeds and the
growing need for low latency, service providers also face the need
to evolve core networks to advanced and flexible architecture that
includes distribution to the network edge.
The deployment of Ericsson's NFVI (Network Functions
Virtualization Infrastructure) solution, together with Ericsson
Cloud Packet Core, is a significant step towards making Telkomsel's
network 5G-ready.
Telkomsel will benefit from scalable software architecture,
reduced time to market for new services, lower total cost of
ownership, and faster responses to changing consumer and enterprise
demands.
Ivan C Permana, Vice President, Network Cloud Management,
Telkomsel, says: "Cloud solutions will help meet the growing demand
for new network services to enhance productivity and efficiency.
Ericsson's NFVI solution is ready for 5G technology and IoT, which
will be of use to all operators and enterprise customers. The
benefits of 5G will range from reduced data transfer time,
dedicated network slicing to an optimal distribution of the
network's core capabilities."
Jerry Soper, Head of Ericsson
Indonesia, says: "The technology-leading strength of Ericsson's
core network abilities continues to attract the attention of
service providers globally as they transform their networks to 5G
and IoT. We will work closely with Telkomsel in their evolution to
5G. As a key platform for 5G Core, our NFVI and Cloud Packet Core
solution will help to meet the evolving needs of Telkomsel's
customers and enable the swift deployment of future new use cases
and innovative solutions."
