Hewlett Packard Enterprise Wednesday pledged a 25 percent reduction in total cost of ownership for telecom providers implementing the new HPE GreenLake Open RAN (Radio Access Network) cloud native solution stack. HPE said the GreenLake pay-per-use platform provides a cost effective path for telecom providers to leverage HPE’s innovative 5G Open RAN stack. The Open RAN solution stack will be available in the second quarter. “We believe that where telecom companies implement an Open RAN strategy solution versus a proprietary solution they are looking at about a 25 percent reduction in total cost of ownership,” said HPE Senior Vice President Phil Mottram, who took the helm of the new HPE Telecommunications Group in January. “That’s the kind of magnitude of savings that can be driven by a (telecom) operator if they take a more open approach.”
