Network automation for workload placement

Telecom networks are complex, evolving and geographically distributed and they are required to support multiple applications simultaneously. Modern telecom networks which use Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) techniques provide flexibility and agility but introduce complexity.

Automation, which supports planning, deployment and optimization, is critical to ensure business agility and resource efficiency and Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) requirements.

The new cloud services provisioning system, designed as part of the European Commission’s innovation and research project RECAP, serves the needs of the exploding amount of digital consumer and citizen services. The built and testing are done together with BT Group (a British multinational telecommunications company), Intel and academic partners. The new self-configuration system paves the way for automating the provisioning of cloud capacity for digital services using data analytics and machine learning.

At MWC we demonstrate solutions that support 

• infrastructure planning
• workload placement optimization over a distributed and interconnected multi-cloud (e.g. edge) finding the most cost-optimal placement within the technical service constraints
• capacity adaptations with autoscaling        
• novel methods for validation and building trust in large scale ML/AI based network automation

Open edge cloud platform for fast application development 

Latency sensitive and data-rich application such as self-driving cars, AR&VR and advanced manufacturing cannot be served by traditional cloud computing or telecom connectivity solutions and require edge computing support. 

Edge computing come with operational and performance challenges as building, testing, and onboarding new solutions on-premises and at outdoor edge locations can be complex and costly if done with proprietary solutions 

We showcase a reference platform based on Intel’s OpenNess providing uCPE (Universal Customer premise equipment) running integrated container application like SD-wan, vFW and DNS.

Accelerated 5G packet processing for a lowered total cost of ownership and high throughput

Telecom networks need additional flexibility and performance to serve the needs of the new cloud-native and containerized services. This is especially critical for 5G and low latency services. Virtualization, service-based architectures, decentralization and desegregation call for new approaches to achieve performance and mitigate inefficiencies.

Jointly with Ethernity Networks, we demonstrate hardware offloaded 5G User Plane Function concept (UPF) on a container infrastructure. The solutions are data path offloaded to a programmable FPGA-based smartNIC which introduces low latency and high deterministic throughput and enable a robust, flexible and efficient service-oriented architecture for 5G user traffic.

SMS for 5G Standalone Core

Enable seamless SMSF functionality covering all types of networks like 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G.

Our 5G Network Function Suite includes an SMSF which enables support for Short Messaging using 5G core and radio functionality (NAS). This eliminates the need for IMS overlay network for handling SMS and provide extremely low latency.

5G Network Function contains also:

• SCP Service Communication Proxy – HTTP/2 proxy and routing function
• SEPP Security Edge Protection Proxy - provides secure roaming interconnect
• 5G IWF Interworking Function – interworking between 5G and 4G

What if someone just stole your credit limit?

A lack of security persists in many operator networks.

Imagine that you're standing in queue in the grocery store. When it is your turn to pay for your groceries, the credit card machine states that you have already reached your monthly credit limit. How can this be? You check last month's purchases but don't find anything extraordinary. Nonetheless, your account states that the money is absent.

How can government authorities tackle the black-market challenge?

Governments and public authorities all over the world are fighting a war against the growing black market of mobile devices. Billions of tax and registration incomes remain uncollected, phone frauds persist, and general insecurity continues.

Recently we had a chance to be part of two projects helping to resolve this challenge. A country in Africa had estimated losing millions of euro in tax income each year due to illegally imported mobile phones.
