Virtualization will change the way mobile operators run their networks and the way the mobile ecosystem works. In this webinar we will explore how the transition to virtualized networks with NFV will happen – what has happened to date, what are the choices and challenges that operators face, and what are the stages in an evolutionary process that will take time, but has quickly gained momentum.
Monica Paolini, Senza Fili, discusses with Jeff Mucci, RCR Wireless News, a recent report on NFV and the interviews with the report sponsors, Hitachi, Intel, JDSU, Juniper, Mavenir Systems, Metaswitch, Ruckus and SpiderCloud Wireless. In our conversation, we touch upon the tradeoffs that operators and vendors face along ten dimensions:
• SDN/ NFV
• Physical / Virtualized
• Continuity / Change
• Telco / IT
• Functions / Orchestration
• Centralized / Distributed
• RAN / Core
• User plane / Control plane
• TCO / Agility
• Optimize / Monetize
