- Keysight joined Google Cloud’s partner initiative to enable a cloud-centric 5G ecosystem to connect a software-driven infrastructure from the edge of the radio access network (RAN) to the core
- Telecom providers are migrating network and application operations to cloud-native, container-based solutions
Keysight Technologies, Inc has announced it has joined Google Cloud’s partner initiative to support agile orchestration of innovative 5G services at the network edge. Keysight joined Google Cloud’s partner initiative to enable a cloud-centric 5G ecosystem to connect a software-driven infrastructure from the edge of the radio access network (RAN) to the core
Scott Bryden, vice president of Keysight’s operator industry solutions group added, “As a Google Cloud partner, Keysight will support service providers transitioning to cloud and edge computing, which are needed for delivering advanced applications and use cases such as streaming media, cloud gaming, connected vehicles, private wireless networks and immersive experiences. Keysight’s solutions across wireless and wireline technologies enable hyperscalers and mobile operators to create unified, heterogenous networks that support a wide range of use cases, requirements and applications.”
Innovation at the network edge with real-time data processing
Telecom providers are migrating network and application operations to cloud-native, container-based solutions. 5G deployments in standalone (SA) mode using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware with open standard interfaces are accelerating virtualisation RAN architectures and network slicing technology. This is helping in innovation at the network edge with real-time data processing that is closer to where data is collected and consumed.
Tanuj Raja, Global Head, Strategic Partnerships at Google Cloud added, “Low latency access to cloud capabilities and applications is increasingly important for businesses operating at the network edge. We’re delighted to partner with Keysight to help communications service providers roll out cloud native 5G quickly and cost effectively, and ultimately to enable greater connectivity for customers at the edge.”
