Sprint and the Open Telco Transformation

Its no secret that modern telco networks carry extraordinary amounts of data traffic.  Less well known is that each device, application, network function, and web session generates massive amounts of telemetry data that can and should be used by OSS/BSS, Security, IoT, and analytics applications to manage, protect, and monetize the telco network. 

 


What can I expect to learn?

In this session, you will learn how OpenStack acts as the foundation for the “Open Telco” model, supporting three pivotal open source platforms that together enable telcos to surf the data tsunami rather than being engulfed by it.  

  • Modern, Open Network Infrastructure Platform (NFVi) brings cloud-scale efficiency to network operations
  • Modern, Open Application Platform supports DevOps, containers, and web-native application development
  • Modern, Open Data Management platform efficiently collects, transforms, stores, and distributes data to the applications that consume the data 

You will also hear how Sprint is progressing in its own transformation toward this Open Telco model.
