Manufacturers’ see an increased need for flexibility and cost-effectiveness in running their factories, driven by global competition and changing customer demand globally. This has led to a significant push for digital transformation (Industry 4.0) to identify and address inefficiencies more proactively throughout the system. Enhancing operational agility and flexibility is one of the top three […]

Strong security, as required by telecommunication, or financial services, can depend on keeping certain cryptographic material, such as keys, secret. On-premises, this has traditionally been done by using hardware security modules (HSM). This post presents a cloud-native solution using AWS Nitro Enclaves to fulfill the same functions as HSM (keeping cryptographic material secret) and support […]

Access to telecom networks through APIs Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are an integral part of modern software design and the foundation of microservices architectures. In the last year, telcos across the world have been enhancing their networks and offering APIs that provide access to network services, giving observability into and programmability of telecom networks. Under […]

An important step in the push for an open, virtualized, and intelligent 5G has been the proliferation of Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), which seeks to improve Radio Access Network (RAN) flexibility and deployment velocity, while simultaneously reducing the capital and operating costs through the adoption of cloud architectures. O-RAN does this by disaggregating the RAN […]
