TE and 4iG to Construct New Subsea Cable

Huawei will help Turkey’s largest carrier Turkcell to build a 5G-oriented all-cloud core network. The announcement came from Turkcell states that it will join forces with Huawei for a project that will launch the largest Cloud EPC Network globally.

Huawei in a press release said that Turkcell’s All-Cloud-Core Network would be the first Core Network with key technologies for 5G evolution. The network will incorporate commercial cloud-based software architecture, control and user plane separation (CUPS), and A/B test. This means global top carriers have made substantial progress in software architecture transformation, network architecture transformation, and the O&M transformation for 5G evolution.

Huawei will provide a mature, reliable cloud solution to Turkcell, which enables Turkcell to achieve the network transformation strategy and smooth evolution to 5G.

Cloud Native software structure
Cloud Native multi-point disaster recovery technology helps build a more elastic network, and ensure a highly reliable running environment for live network services, a network that can withstand multiple points of failure and still run smoothly.

CUPS network architecture
Huawei solution uses CUPS architecture to shorten transmission distances, simplify O&M, and deliver the best service experience to subscribers.

A/B test
Huawei solution provides an industry-leading A/B test solution to automate O&M and help carriers perform hitless upgrades with minimal resources required.

Huawei said that it has signed more than 490 contracts for all-cloud core networks worldwide, helping carriers build an elastic, robust, agile, and all-cloud core network and smoothly evolve to the 5G network.
