Chinese telecom equipment vendor Huawei today announced the launch of its Cloud Edge solution for implementing Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) capabilities on mobile broadband (MBB) networks.
At the Mobile World Congress 2014, Huawei in partnership with mobile operators will introduce further information about Cloud Edge’s capabilities.
Huawei Cloud Edge features capabilities for virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC), virtualized Multi-Service Engine (vMSE), and Cloud Management and Orchestration (MANO).
The telecom equipment maker said its Cloud Edge builds on Huawei’s SingleEPC solution for convergent Evolved Packet Core (EPC) operations.
Cloud Edge employs a Cloud-oriented MBB network architecture to achieve automation of whole-network management. The solution leverages unique advancements in NFV to achieve the following benefits:
The new solution offers faster time-to-market (TTM) and scaling for innovative services, including M2M (machine-to-machine) applications, mobile video, mobile enterprise, etc.
Several telecom operators in Europe and in the Asia-Pacific region have conducted Cloud Edge trials that have demonstrated its leading architecture design and service capabilities. Early use cases have included applications for M2M, MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator), and service chaining.
