DOCOMO and NEC complete designing carrier-grade, hybrid cloud, redundant 5G SA core leveraging AWS
Summary
The verification is expected to support the faster construction and reduced energy consumption of 5GCs and Edge UPFs for IoT use cases. According to Naoki Tani, Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer, and Executive General Manager of R&D Innovation Division of NTT DOCOMO: "We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of this high-level design for a redundant 5GC hybrid cloud environment as well as onboarding an Edge UPF on AWS Graviton3 processor. NECs highly reliable cloud-native 5GC/UPF software and AWSs innovatively energy-efficient AWS Graviton processor were key contributors to these great achievements. These are key attributes of our solution, and a true testament to our cloud-native architecture to be able to scale out and run on-premises, on public clouds and hybrid environments. NEC is committed to building blocks for end-to-end, carrier-grade performance and sustainable networks that contribute to enriching the society of our future."
