ADVANCING OPEN RAN NETWORKS - HOW TO ENSURE HIGH-SCALE PERFORMANCE IN CLOUD-NATIVE DEPLOYMENTS

The digitalization and cloudification of telecommunications aims to deliver a better experience for end-users and scale and efficiency for operators. Moving infrastructure to the cloud has many benefits, but the transition also brings network complexity and introduces a new environment which must be tested.

Rakuten and VIAVI Solutions combine their 5G network expertise to share practical lessons on how operators and their customers can benefit from the scale of cloud-native deployments. With over 10 years’ experience in virtualized network test, VIAVI is supporting Rakuten Symphony with their vision of providing future-proven, cost-effective cloud connectivity. Testing at scale is vital to ensure the optimum performance and interoperability of open RAN and cloud-native networks.

This webinar covers the challenges of successful open RAN and cloud-native deployment, discusses approaches, investigates example use cases, and references the essential role of test and measurement.
