At Dell Technologies’ Open Telecom Ecosystem Lab (OTEL), we are working to drive innovation and improve the telecom industry. By bringing together cutting-edge technologies and fostering collaboration with world-class partners like Nokia, we’re empowering Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to adopt innovative solutions that unlock the full potential of 5G.
Nokia’s Cloud RAN, built on their industry-leading anyRAN approach, became available in OTEL earlier this year, providing CSPs with the opportunity to explore its capabilities firsthand. This fully validated and demonstrated solution allows operators to experience the benefits of Cloud RAN and reimagine the future of their network operations right here in our labs.
Why Cloud RAN Is a Game Changer
Cloud RAN is reshaping the telecom industry by introducing greater flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency and by providing additional revenue streams to radio network operations. At its core, Cloud RAN enables CSPs to deploy radio access functions using cloud-native software on any infrastructure, whether public, private or hybrid. With capabilities like containerized software and modular deployments, CSPs are better equipped to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving telecom landscape.
For CSPs, adopting Cloud RAN is more than just a technical upgrade; it’s a strategic investment in efficiency and innovation. By transforming to cloud-native infrastructures, CSPs can not only optimize their resources, but also accelerate service delivery and bring innovative solutions to market faster.
However, transitioning to this modern architecture is no small task. Questions about scalability, performance and deployment flexibility stop many CSPs from taking the leap. That’s exactly why Dell and Nokia have united our strengths to create a solution that simplifies the Cloud RAN adoption process.
Partnership for Progress
Nokia and Dell share a vision of empowering CSPs to build networks designed for adaptability, efficiency and long-term innovation. Through our partnership, Nokia’s advanced Cloud RAN solution integrates seamlessly with Dell’s telecom-optimized solutions, offering unmatched scalability, performance and security.
The solution leverages Nokia’s anyRAN approach, which provides CSPs the freedom to deploy RAN functions on any cloud infrastructure. With Dell’s state-of-the-art hardware powering this flexible software, CSPs are assured of reliability and performance at any scale.
Experience Cloud RAN at OTEL
What truly sets this collaboration apart is the opportunity for CSPs to see Cloud RAN in action at Dell’s OTEL. Designed as a hands-on exploration experience, OTEL allows CSPs to interact with live demonstrations of Nokia’s Cloud RAN solution and experience its capabilities in real-world scenarios.
CSPs can witness the seamless connection between Nokia’s Cloud RAN, hosted in OTEL, and their 5G Core solution operating in Nokia’s lab in Dallas, Texas. The live demo showcases not only the flexibility and performance of the solution, but also its ability to securely connect distributed environments.
Imagine testing deployment scenarios tailored to your network needs, reviewing performance metrics in real time, and consulting with experts from both Dell and Nokia. That’s the power of OTEL. It’s more than a lab; it’s a strategic resource for CSPs ready to innovate and lead.
Unlocking the Full Potential of Telecom
Cloud technology isn’t just about modernization; it’s about transformation. For CSPs, this isn’t just an opportunity to optimize network performance and efficiency. It’s a chance to innovate, differentiate, and lead in a competitive market.
With Dell and Nokia as your trusted technology partners, you can confidently move on with your cloud transformation. Whether you’re an early adopter or taking gradual steps toward modernization, you’ll have access to the resources, expertise, and proven solutions needed to succeed.
