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 […]

Introduction In “Blog 1 – Your Telecom Cloud Journey on AWS: Part 1 – Establishing a Foundation” we covered the importance of establishing a strong cloud foundation on AWS, and we identified some of the key capabilities that are different or need to be adapted for Telco use cases. Specifically, we can see that from […]

Introduction This three-part series provides guidance on establishing a platform, or Telco Cloud, for Communications Service Providers (CSPs) migrating Telecommunications service provider (Telco) workloads to AWS. Sharing experiences from our Telco users’ journeys to the cloud, we cover the key operational and technical considerations when migrating complex telco workloads such as Core Networks, Radio Access […]

Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are evolving into providers of a “network of networks” to enable new revenue streams through industry-specific private network solutions. This plurality of networks needs the adoption of automation to achieve operational excellence. CSPs are seeking opportunities to automate the lifecycle management (LCM) operations of private networks. By using automation, CSPs can […]

Our Global Infrastructure spans 108 Availability Zones (AZs) within 34 geographic AWS Regions around the world at the time of writing. To provide mobile apps with ultra-low latency access to the AWS cloud, we collaborate with telecom operators globally to offer AWS Wavelength. AWS Wavelength Zones integrate AWS compute and storage services within mobile networks. […]

As customers increasingly demand personalized and efficient experiences, companies are using the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance their customer support capabilities. By using the power of generative AI (GenAI), Agents for Amazon Bedrock, and the Telecom Networks API (under GSMA’s Open Gateway and Camara initiative), organizations can create intelligent chatbots and agents that […]

With the advent of generative AI services such as Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Q Developer, it has never been easier to generate high-fidelity code while also building applications with foundation models. With this ease of use comes both great opportunity and responsibility to use this technology to impact critical barriers that exist today across digital […]
