“5G is all about SDN and NFV”
by Andreas Hipp 5G Asia in Singapore took place over a week ago and the clear message from meetings and various presentations was: The most important technology in the 5G ecosystem is SDN and NFV to take full advantage of the features 5G will enable. YTL’s (Malaysian MNO) CEO Wing Lee was very clear on
MVNO Architecture Sessions (1) – Going from “Thin” to “Thick”
Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) architectures are often described as thick or thin as if there are only two acknowledged architectures accepted by the industry. In reality for any sizeable MVNO there is a range of decisions that need to be made depending upon the strategy being adopted and their approach to the market. One

Slicing the Mobile Packet Core
The Evolved Packet Core (EPC), the core system of the LTE network, was designed as a “flat architecture” in order to handle the payload (the data traffic) efficiently from a performance and cost perspective. The user plane (the data) was also separated from the control plane (the signalling) to make scaling independent. Thanks to this functional split, mobile

When Worlds Collide
When Worlds Collide Martin Guilfoyle, Chief Network Architect & Strategist, Cirrus Core Networks Two very distinct worlds, those of telecoms and the data centres and are colliding as SDN and NFV move into the communications mainstream and network NFV emerges. In some cases the result is the emergence and diagnosis of a new condition and
Virtual Networks: The Power of the Intangile
By Andreas Hipp Founder and CEO, Incipio Member of the Advisory Team, HOT TELECOM Almost from the beginning of human time (or humanity), virtual things have been part of our day to day life, evolving at a fast pace during the Homo Sapiens era around 30,000 year BC. From then on, our cognitive abilities allowed
