5G Core Architecture

Evolution || Use Cases || Services

This whitepaper explores the new 5G core architecture and how it solves the present-day problems of a closed framework through its programmability and service agility. It also delves into some of the use cases to see how other industry verticals are benefited by this new architecture thus creating new business models for the Service Providers.

Docker Internals

We discussed Containers in the previous post, how they are different and the advantages it has over Virtual Machines. In this post, we will see how containers became a reality and how Docker became an inevitable name in the world of containers.

Containers – A Primer

How often have we seen ourselves running into issues when installing an application on host operating system? The application could be conflicting with other applications like they probably want the same port to operate or you probably want to try out installing multiple versions of the same software or it could be that you do not want some applications to read certain configuration files. Think of a scenario where you need to move or redeploy the same application elsewhere, it is very unlikely that you will pick up all the dependencies from the host machine and move it to another host.

5G: Network As A Service 

How 5G enables the telecom operators to lease out their network

5G is enabling a host of new applications for enterprises and consumers, including augmented reality, virtual reality, IoT, autonomous vehicles, enhanced mobile broadband and many more. The “Cloud Native” strategy , separation of control and user planes (CUPS), and service based architecture in 5G, has brought about much needed enhancements in the telecom network. 5G is being developed to enrich the experience of not just the mobile but the entire communications technology ecosystem. It marks the convergence of many industry verticals like healthcare, agriculture, automotive etc. The network architecture has been modified to make it simpler and efficient.

5G: Evolution of mobile technology

5G is just around the corner!! And it promises to bring with it a host of exciting services and capabilities. We have a lot to write about the new 5G technology. But before that, let’s take a quick look at how the mobile communications has evolved over the past few decades.

Interval between each technology platform is roughly around 10 years. However, there is continuous innovation within each platform which leads us to the next one. For e.g. many of the 5G features like support for massive IoT were already realized in 4G.

Interoperability As A Service

Automate and Simplify Interoperability Process

This white paper will present a new product - an Easy, Quick and Reliable Cloud based solution - that can automate and simplify the entire Interoperability testing process leading to significant savings in operating expenditures of the vendors and service providers. The paper focuses primarily on the mobility market, however, the product architecture can be very easily extended to many other domains and markets.
