Intel, China Mobile, Telefonica join Alcatel-Lucent to showcase NFV-based virtualized RAN and how it will allow operators to optimize and enhance network performance and the consumer experience
BARCELONA, Spain - Mobile World Congress 2015 - Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) is to demonstrate how wireless operators can use its virtualized radio access network technology to dynamically meet changing market, customer and environmental demands, while also taking advantage of dramatically enhanced network performance and lowering costs.
Alcatel-Lucent's NFV-based vRAN technology has been installed at Mobile World Congress 2015 in support of demonstrations on its own booth (3K10 in Hall 3) and the stands of its technology partner Intel and customers China Mobile and Telefonica.
Alcatel-Lucent's vRAN will be available for customer trials during 2015 and for commercial operation in 2016.
The demonstration at this year's Mobile World Congress further underlines Alcatel-Lucent's strategy of collaborating with industry leaders such as Intel, China Mobile and Telefonica to accelerate industry adoption of next-generation technologies as it strives to meet demands for capacity, performance and efficiency being placed upon it by the growth of new wireless devices.
The introduction of Alcatel-Lucent's vRAN platform comes just 12 months after it announced an agreement with Intel - at Mobile World Congress last year - to collaborate on NFV development.
