DOCOMO AND NEC COMPLETE DESIGNING CARRIER-GRADE, HYBRID CLOUD, REDUNDANT 5GC
The design will allow DOCOMO to switch between DOCOMO's on-premises NFV and AWS infrastructure for 5GC redundancy operations, offering a more flexible and cost-effective means to manage network performance and capacity.
NTT DOCOMO, INC. and NEC Corporation today announced their completion of a high-level carrier-grade redundancy design for a 5G core network (5GC) hybrid-cloud environment leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) and DOCOMO's on-premises network functions virtualization (NFV) infrastructure.
DOCOMO and NEC also successfully onboarded NEC's 5G User Plane Function software dedicated to edge computing (Edge UPF) on the AWS Graviton3 processor. The verification is expected to support the faster construction and reduced energy consumption of 5GCs and Edge UPFs for IoT use cases.
A demonstration environment based on the design will be showcased at the AWS exhibition booth, AWS Next Level, Upper Walkway, South Entrance, Fira Barcelona Gran Via, during MWC Barcelona 2023.
