Vodafone India has deployed Nokia’s cloud packet core in Bangalore to cost-effectively provide faster mobile broadband and enhance the scale and agility of its network to ensure the timely launch of new services, reported ET Telecom.
Vishant Vora, Director Technology, Vodafone India, said to ET that they are thrilled to partner with Nokia and are certain this technology will enable Vodafone to scale faster by improving business productivity and network operations. He further stated that the introduction of a new architecture also enables Vodafone to reduce power consumption per customer, in their goal to contribute positively to society.
Nokia said that its 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 Pcket Core, supported by Nokia CloudBand software, will meet the mobile data demands of 7.8 million subscribers in Bangalore.
A cloud packet core is essential for service providers 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, Nokia said.
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.
