SHENZHEN, China - Monday, February 24th 2014
ZTE
Corporation (“ZTE”) (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code:
000063.SZ), a publicly-listed global provider of telecommunications
equipment, network solutions and mobile devices, has launched the
world's first virtualised Cloud NF (network function) solution for
multi-RAT (radio access technology) networks.
The evolution of
mobile networks to flat, cloud-based networks will improve operator
competitiveness and simplify operations, administration and management
(OAM). In response to this trend, ZTE has developed the Cloud NF
solution, which integrates the functions of core networks and
controllers through network functions virtualisation (NFV).
The
Cloud NF solution uses virtualisation technology to separate hardware
from software in the architecture and integrates all network element
functions of the mobile network. In addition, it applies the
software-defined networking (SDN) concept to separate the gateway
forwarding function from the core network, which improves forwarding
efficiency.
In collaboration with Intel, ZTE has used a common
Intel® architecture hardware platform to build the entire system. ZTE is
one of the leading developers of software for wireless system solutions
provided by Intel. Through the use of this software, the ZTE Cloud NF
solution achieves outstanding performance.
Mr. Liu Jianhua, CEO
of ZTE’s Core Network Product Line, said: “We are glad to work with
Intel on technology innovation and the Cloud NF system, an
industry-leading virtualisation solution. Our architecture provides an
efficient solution for deploying multi-mode 2G/3G/4G multi-layer
networks; and enables the smooth transition from legacy networks through
to 5G networks.”
The ZTE Cloud NF solution has completed joint
testing with a leading operator in China, during which the mobile
network virtualisation solution performed very well. It will be promoted
around the world in 2014, with a focus on its application in 4G
networks.
