Webinar – Virtualisation: reaching tipping point

Virtualisation is a game changer for telecoms

Webinar broadcast: Wednesday 22 May 2019

Virtualisation (NFV) and SDN fundamentally change network infrastructure and service agility. And telcos that act early could gain an advantage. In reality, few operators have taken up the challenge.

So what’s the right approach to match your business needs? How can you gauge when’s the right time to move – and how do you find a helicopter view of what’s happening in the market? Which vendors are selling which solutions, to whom – and why?

In this webinar, we’ll show how – with 5G on the horizon – telco virtualisation is at a tipping point. And look at data from the NFV deployment tracker, which aggregates information on commercial deployments globally.
