Telenor develops cloud network

KARACHI: Telenor Pakistan has developed its own cloud network on which the company successfully tested the first 3G voice call and first LTE data call, a statement said on Monday.

The move is a hallmark achievement in Telenor Pakistan’s network virtualisation journey, making it the first cellular operator in Pakistan to have an in-house Cloud platform enabling digitisation of all network functions, it added.

Using telco cloud technology from Nokia, including Nokia’s AirFrame data center solution and OpenStack-based Nokia CloudBand software, and ZTE’s virtualised MSS and virtualised PGW functions, Telenor Pakistan has successfully implemented integrated VNF solutions, which are key enablers for its network transformation, it added.
