Google, Intel focus on cloud-native 5G - Mobile World Live 23 FEB 2021
Google Cloud and Intel sought to speed deployments of cloud-native 5G infrastructure and services, teaming to develop new reference architectures and edge network products for operators.
The effort will combine Google’s Anthos for Telecom cloud platform with Intel’s FlexRAN reference software, data plane development kit and Open Network Edge Service Software deployment model, aiming to make it easier for operators to rollout virtualised and open RAN infrastructure.
Development work will also focus on creating blueprints for deployments of edge use cases in key industries including manufacturing and retail.
