Telefonica: IBM selected for 5G network platform
(CercleFinance.com) - IBM announced on Thursday the signature of a multi-year partnership with Telefonica, for it to use its smart automation software in the roll-out of an entirely cloud-based 5G network platform.
The financial details of the deal have not been disclosed.
This project, which also includes its subsidiary Red Hat and the material manufacturer Juniper, should allow the Spanish operator to benefit from an open, secure, smart and highly automated network, explained IBM in a press release.
The American group indicates that it plans to roll out its IBM Cloud Pak technology, a solution to automate networks optimised by AI, which allows Communication Service Providers to switch to operations with no human intervention.
