Cisco to supply virtualized Packet Core to ASPIDER

Cisco today said it will supply virtualized Packet Core (vPC) to ASPIDER, a mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE) for consumer and M2M mobile services, to deliver the network elasticity and service agility.

ASPIDER aims to extend mobile services with faster time to market and lower cost of entry to mobile network operator (MNO), mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) and MVNE customers across the world.

Jan Mooijman, chief executive officer, ASPIDER, said: “Cisco’s platform gives us the integrated network policy control that we require in order to meet the demanding needs brought on by the Internet of Things and increasingly data-centric mobile services.”

Cisco vPC will give more flexibility and service agility against configure on-demand IaaS utilized by ASPIDER customers currently. ASPIDE has more than 70 clients.

ASPIDER has selected Cisco UCS C (Rackmount) servers as compute platform for deployment of Cisco’s virtualized Packet Core and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN).

The deployment will support ASPIDER to enhance Access Point Name (APN) gateway functions and policy integration to provide configuration flexibility to support Quality of Service management. It will enable ASPIDER and its customers to expand availability and capture new opportunities.

Mike Iandolo, vice president and general manager, Mobile Internet Technology Group, Cisco, said: “Cisco virtualized Packet Core supplies ASPIDER with a faster time to market, at lower cost of entry, while providing the same Cisco StarOS software assets necessary to offer their hosted mobile Internet services.”
