Roundtable at NFV46
ETSI NFV Telco Cloud Native & AI Workshop #Xi'an June 2024
ETSI NFV has played a critical role in mobile operators' 4G/5G deployment, more than 70% of the 4G and 5G core network are deployed based on ETSI NFV specifications. ETSI NFV is the right place for Telco operators to bridge the CT carrier-grade requirements with the IT evolutionary cloud native practices. Without correct understanding of the telecom operator's heritage, simply reusing IT/open source solutions will lead to unstable services and unpredictable performance.
The Telco Cloud Native workshop will be hosted during NFV#46, where high-level representatives from operators, manufacturers, cloud stakeholders are invited to discuss the future evolution of Telco cloud-native and promote the unified ecosystem path for multi-SDOs, open sources and hyperscalers.
Date: Monday, June 03rd, 2024, 2:00 pm to 6:30 pm
Location: ZTE hotel, Xi'an, China
