Telenor introduces virtual MMS

KARACHI: Telenor Pakistan has launched the country’s first Virtual Mobile Switching Station (vMSS) on its newly-introduced in-house hybrid Cloud platform, a statement said on Thursday.

In addition to significantly enhancing the overall user experience, the Virtual MSS will give the company better control over network allocation and distribution, making smart traffic management possible with the least third-party dependency and in-turn providing virtually seamless connectivity during high-volume periods, it added.

The move is a historic achievement in Telenor Pakistan’s network virtualisation journey, making it the first cellular operator in Pakistan to have live virtual MSS traffic on its Cloud platform, enabling digitisation of its primary network function, it said. This key achievement is a result of strong synergies among Telenor, ZTE and Nokia in a multi-vendor environment, it added.
