DriveNets Completes Successful Commercial Trial of Disaggregated Core Networking Infrastructure on Oranges International IP Core Network
Summary
By transitioning to an open software-based network, Orange and other operators can enjoy: • Enhanced flexibility and vendor choice: By decoupling hardware and software, Orange can use standard hardware available from multiple vendors and select the best-in-class solutions tailored to specific needs, reducing reliance on single-vendor ecosystems. This approach allows for more adaptable network architecture, and faster response to technological advancements, and it avoids the premium costs associated with vendor-locked integrated, proprietary systems. • Accelerated deployment and innovation: Software-based networks will enable Orange to accelerate the development of new features and services on its international networks, achieve faster time-to-market for new offerings, and enhance the companys ability to innovate, giving it a competitive edge. This successful experimentation with DriveNets, in a real-life environment, brings us one step closer to fully flexible and programmable networks," said Jean Louis Le Roux, Executive Vice President International Networks at Orange & CTIO Orange Wholesale. This successful PoC reinforces Oranges position as an innovative global operator and as part of a group of leading service providers worldwide that are making network transformation efforts to substantially lower their operational costs while enabling service scale and innovation.
