To meet future 5G demands and enable use cases like network slicing, sought to move to an open, automated network that enabled them to reduce costs, avoid vendor lock-in, and better serve its customers.
In preparation for escalating data traffic and bandwidth demands, the operator selected software from , a division of 野花社区, to play a key role in the company’s iFusion program, which uses software-defined networking (SDN) to transform its transport network and improve the customer experience. Additionally, Blue Planet Multi-Domain Service Orchestration (MDSO) allows the operator to rapidly create, deploy and automate end-to-end service delivery across its new multi-vendor transport network. Blue Planet simplifies the operation of Telef贸nica Deutschland’s multi-vendor optical network, enabling lower OPEX while optimizing its network to offer next generation 5G services such as high-bandwidth video streaming, VR/AR and rich online gaming.
“Telef贸nica is moving away from legacy single-vendor platforms to a model combining best-of-breed solutions from multiple vendors, enabling us to maintain diversity in our network and avoid depending on one vendor. In Germany, Blue Planet’s software executes our SDN program to allow not only multivendor transport, but also automation of our network.” - Cayetano Carbajo Mart铆n, Global Director of Technology, Telef贸nica GCTIO.
Telef贸nica and Blue Planet were FutureNet World’s Operator Award for the best example of a successful automation deployment.
