SK Telecom Deployed A10 Networks Thunder CFW for the Worlds First 5G Commercial Service Network
Summary
Our team is excited to work with SKT as we believe the 5G market opportunity in Korea is significantly larger than with 4G,” said Lee Chen, founder and CEO of A10 Networks. The A10 Harmony Controller enables SK Telecoms network operations teams to view real-time traffic trends and data by source, app, and service based on accurate analytics and end-to-end statistics. For the 5G infrastructure that theoretically provides broadband wireless data service up to 20Gbps, SK Telecom rebuilt the entire network including core/edge routers, vEPC, gNBs with ultra-high-capacity, super-low latency and high-reliability to meet with the 5G standard. In particular, for CGNAT devices, which are a mission-critical component for IP services with 5G, we decided to deploy A10 Networks Thunder CFW because of its superb performance, functionality and highest reliability. It was a superior choice.” “ The higher performance and more advanced features of the A10 Networks Thunder CFW PNF were a key part of our conclusion so we could guarantee the quality of services.
