Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications are evolving into distributed inference pipelines, where models run across multiple tiers, from device edge to AWS, to optimize latency, bandwidth, and privacy. Instead of sending all raw data to AWS, collaborative AI inference can occur at the device, far edge, near edge (often a 5G Multi-access Edge Computing site […]

The telecommunications (telco) industry stands at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) transformation, with communication service providers (CSPs) actively seeking innovative solutions to enhance customer experience, optimize networks, and drive operational efficiency. Today, we’re excited to announce the Telco AI Fellowship: a first-of-a-kind collaboration between AWS and NVIDIA designed to accelerate AI adoption across the […]

Introduction Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS®) is a critical technology standard in modern cable broadband networks, enabling cable operators to deliver high-speed internet, voice, and IP video services over existing hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) infrastructure. Published by CableLabs, DOCSIS technology supports hundreds of millions of residential and enterprise broadband customers globally. DOCSIS networks also […]

Legacy mainframe systems remain the backbone of many telecommunications (telco) operators, despite rapid technological evolution. These systems, combining proprietary and vendor-developed applications, remain critical for handling bulk data processing and large-scale transactions. These systems typically handle critical Business Support Systems (BSS) and Operational Support Systems (OSS) workloads, such as the highly transactional processes of rating, […]

How do enterprises efficiently manage networking across hundreds of cloud accounts while maintaining security, reducing costs, and minimizing operational overhead? As organizations such as Swisscom adopt Amazon Web Services (AWS), they face the complex challenge of implementing scalable, automated networking solutions that break away from traditional high-touch, manual approaches. When Swisscom, Switzerland’s leading telecom provider, […]

DISH Technologies, commonly known as DISH Tech, is a leading provider of satellite television and broadband services and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EchoStar. Since its founding in 1980, DISH has continually innovated in the delivery of digital entertainment and information services. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, DISH offers a wide range of services, including satellite TV, […]

Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is an architecture that enables cloud computing capabilities and services at the edge of a mobile network. By running application workloads closer to mobile customers, network latency is reduced to tens of milliseconds and application response time is improved. As one example of MEC, private MEC brings AWS compute and storage […]

Overview Cloud solutions for enterprise applications are focused on creating a virtualized infrastructure to enable the management of various functions necessary to deliver services. With cloud computing, these functions become decoupled from the hardware and are operated from a horizontal platform as cloud-native or virtual functions. This is a unified and standardized platform that supports […]

Today, Comcast announced that it will be running its 5G mobile packet core, developed by Nokia, entirely on the AWS public cloud. With this deployment, we have now reached a point in the evolution of the public cloud with capabilities to support network functions, where the 5G mobile core is now a mature and proven […]

Introduction In “Your Telecom Cloud Journey on AWS: Part 1 – Establishing a Foundation” and “Accelerating Your Telecom Cloud Journey: A Technical Roadmap with AWS” we covered the transformation journey that many Telcos are embarking on when running complex and critical Telco workloads on AWS. Once a cloud foundation is established and workloads are running […]
