Open Radio Access Network Architecture on AWS

AWS is an ideal cloud platform for Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) innovation, with more than 200 featured services and globally adopted infrastructure for telecom customers. This whitepaper explores the concept of O-RAN, offers a reference architecture and best practices for O-RAN on AWS.

Network Modernization

AWS enables telcos to transform how networks are built, deployed, and managed with the most secure, broadest, and deepest set of services and AI/ML capabilities. AWS addresses all aspects of network transformation by bringing AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools wherever it is needed, with purpose-built infrastructure and compute instances optimized for telco network functions. AWS Outposts enables telcos to run Core and RAN network workloads on premises using cloud infrastructure and services. By leveraging AWS and partner solutions, telcos can streamline operations, foster innovation, and drive new revenue streams.

Broadest choice of services and solutions for transforming networks

AWS offers the broadest choice of services and partner solutions to migrate and modernize telco networks. Customers can choose from a wide selection of compute, containers, and serverless services to run their networks in the cloud to reduce costs and increase agility and scalability. AWS also provides solutions from leading telecom partners across Core, RAN, IMS, and BSS/OSS to help customers run their entire network or parts of their network in the cloud.

Truly consistent infrastructure to run networks anywhere

AWS offers truly consistent cloud infrastructure, services, and tools to enable customers to deploy networks wherever they are needed. Customers can choose to deploy network functions from a range of AWS infrastructure, from large, multi-zone, multi-data center cloud regions to on-premises AWS Outposts offerings for Core and RAN workloads that can be deployed at the edge, allowing telcos to build networks in months instead of years.

Purpose-built automation solutions to optimize network resiliency

AWS’s purpose-built services, such as AWS Telco Network Builder, and AI/ML and generative AI capabilities allow telcos to proactively plan capacity, predict network outages, model network routing, optimize network performance, and orchestrate network configuration and management.

Services to build and scale

Accelerate network modernization with cloud services, infrastructure, and solutions that power breakthrough innovations while lowering costs

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a managed Kubernetes service to run Kubernetes in the AWS cloud and on-premises data centers. In the cloud, Amazon EKS automatically manages the availability and scalability of the Kubernetes control plane nodes responsible for scheduling containers, managing application availability, storing cluster data, and other key tasks.

AWS Telco Network Builder

AWS Telco Network Builder is a telco-specific service that is a fully managed network automation service that helps telcos more easily deploy, run, and scale their telecom networks on AWS.

AWS Local Zones

AWS Local Zones enable customers to run applications that require single-digit millisecond latency or local data processing by bringing AWS infrastructure closer to end users and business centers.

AWS Outposts

AWS Outposts delivers AWS infrastructure and services to virtually any on-premises or edge location for a truly consistent hybrid experience. AWS Outposts enables telcos to use the same AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools to run Core and RAN network workloads in on-premises and edge environments.
