The deployment of advanced 5G networks is essential for Communications Service Providers (CSPs) aiming to remain competitive and explore new revenue streams. Dell Technologies is committed to streamlining this process. Recently, NEC’s 4G/5G Converged Core Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) received certification on Dell Telecom Infrastructure Blocks for Red Hat, highlighting the partnership’s commitment to facilitating efficient and reliable 5G implementations.
NEC’s Role in 5G Development
At the heart of next-generation networks, NEC’s Converged Core AMF serves as the control function for the 5G core, managing user connections and mobility while safeguarding secure communications through sophisticated algorithms. Its architecture is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing 4G infrastructures. The fully cloud-native, containerized format of NEC’s Converged Core provides the flexibility and agility needed for tailored 5G applications, optimizing network performance across the board.
Importance of Dell Technologies Certification
Dell’s Telecom Partner Certification program is critical in testing and validating telecom software from reliable providers like NEC. The certification guarantees that the AMF offers dependable, stable, and effective deployments, giving CSPs confidence when integrating new technologies into their existing networks.
Benefits of Certification for CSPs
- Accelerated Deployment: The certification streamlines the integration of NEC’s Converged Core through Dell Telecom Infrastructure Blocks, expediting the time to market for CSPs.
- Boosted Innovation: The certification on Dell’s cloud stacks enhances customer experiences and facilitates the rollout of innovative applications with increased assurance.
- Performance Reliability: Certification minimizes operational risks, ensuring workload reliability while also enabling cost-efficient scaling for CSPs.
NEC’s Certified AMF Highlights
NEC’s AMF solution is pivotal for CSPs to harness the full capabilities of 5G networks. The cloud-native architecture contributes to resilience and efficiency, and combined with Dell’s certification, the AMF is validated for smooth integration into existing networks. This empowers carriers to take advantage of:
- Customizable Scalability: The AMF can adapt to various network requirements, providing targeted scalability.
- Smoother Transitions: The certification ensures reliability, making network transitions more predictable.
- Enhanced Security: Advanced encryption and protocol integrity equip next-generation networks with robust security measures.
Dell’s Open Telecom Ecosystem Lab (OTEL)
The certification process took place in Dell’s Open Telecom Ecosystem Lab (OTEL), which serves as a collaborative platform for CSPs and partners to develop, test, and certify telecom solutions. This facility reduces risks associated with new technology deployments and endorses high-performance outcomes through rigorous testing.
Enhancing CSP Opportunities
The certification of NEC’s AMF on Dell Telecom Infrastructure Blocks emphasizes the collaborative strength of both companies. This partnership positions CSPs to embrace new opportunities and deliver superior customer experiences. By merging Dell’s reliable infrastructure with NEC’s advanced 5G functionality, the collaboration aims to lead the telecommunications industry into the next era of 5G innovation.
