The telecom industry’s networks have evolved since the initial promise of 5G attracted the attention of corporate leaders, policymakers, and the media. But how much of that promise is likely to be fulfilled in the near future

5G necessitates greater levels of adaptability in telecom network architecture, scaling, and implementation. This is especially true for Radio Access Network (RAN) deployments, where cloud technology provides new, innovative options that supplant tried-and-proven, purpose-built solutions.

5G deployments are only just underway across global telco network operators. As an AWS employee leading the Containers practice for global telcos, it is personally gratifying to note that analysts report an increasing number of signals which indicate that Amazon Web Services (AWS) is building an early lead over rivals Google Cloud and Microsoft in capturing market share.

Glad to highlight another win that my team has been working on over the past year. Parallel Wireless has selected AWS EKS Anywhere as Kubernetes management platform for its cloud-native Open RAN solution

Edge computing is all about implementing compute, storage & networking to enable processing closer to data-generating connected devices. There are a few definitions that emerged with the adopters of edge in different architectures.

Join this chalk talk for an end-to-end walkthrough on how to deploy 5G core and RAN using open-source components, and learn all the foundational aspects for Amazon EKS and AWS (AWS CloudFormation, AWS Lambda, Amazon CloudWatch, and so on).

Enterprises and telecom operators are focusing on achieving a great amount of flexibility, observability, and dynamic orchestration by deploying and testing Kubernetes at the edge.

This blog discusses why legacy VNFs (Virtual Network Functions) will need to either move over to being purely container-based (CNFs) or to run alongside CNFs using approaches like Kubevirt or Kata containers.

This blog introduces Private 5G networks and their uses.
