Samsung and Amdocs Partner to Accelerate Communications Service Providers’ Deployment of 5G Open Cloud Networks
September 09 2019 - 6:00AM
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (Samsung) and Amdocs (NASDAQ: DOX), a
leading provider of software and services to communications and
media companies, today announced multiple joint initiatives to
accelerate communications service providers’ (CSP) journeys to open
cloud networks that provide the freedom and agility necessary to
innovate and better manage the delivery of 5G services to market,
with increased speed and with greater scale and reach to consumer
and business clients.
Amdocs and Samsung Networks will collaborate to onboard and
integrate Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) so that CSPs can better
take advantage of Samsung’s 5G network solutions with the Open
Network Automation Platform (ONAP), the industry leading open
source automation platform. The collaboration will start with
Samsung’s Virtualized Central Unit (vCU) function and will expand
to cover additional areas through execution of a comprehensive
program, including components of the 5G core, to help CSPs realize
a full end-to-end 5G cloud network that supports their current and
future business requirements.
The two companies will also explore the possibility of
delivering relevant network services, such as vRAN rollout and
integration, and related Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
enablement solutions. Virtualized network functions that are
managed by a comprehensive automation and orchestration platform
will provide CSPs with a rich set of innovative new services that
can be deployed, discovered and scaled on demand, providing new
ways to monetize the network.
“This partnership with Amdocs on ONAP enablement helps us
accelerate an important shift towards a dynamic software-driven
architecture that will empower networks to adjust themselves to
meet ever-changing user demands and network conditions,” said Jaeho
Jeon, Executive Vice President and Head of R&D, Networks
Business at Samsung Electronics. “As we move 5G business forward,
we continue to drive the adoption of ONAP and 5G network deployment
to enrich the 5G ecosystem.”
“As the deployment of 5G networks accelerates, CSPs are taking
the opportunity to rearchitect their network to be open,
virtualized, cloud-based and AI-infused,” said Anthony
Goonetilleke, group president of Media, Network and Technology,
Amdocs. “By teaming with Samsung, Amdocs combines its expertise in
enterprise-grade ONAP and software-defined systems with Samsung’s
advanced 5G network solutions portfolio to better enable CSPs to
launch innovative new services at speed.”
