ONF Connect 2019

The pace of innovation has never better faster and yet it will never be this slow again. 5G presents unprecedented opportunity for Network Operators to deliver a wider range of services for both B2B and B2C markets. With 5G, network will be dynamically sliced and differentially priced. To sieze this opportunity, CSPs have to accelerate the pace of network innovation. Network DevOps supporting open innovation and robust multi-vendor supply chain holds the key to creating truly agile networks. Tech Mahindra recently launched it's "netOps.ai" framework to drive hyper-automation throughout the network lifecycle and to implement the CI/CD pipeline. The solution is already being leveraged by multiple CSPs today. Talk will share more details on the need to develop the right framework and the CI/CD pipeline leveraging open source solutions that will enable CSPs to rapidly absorb open source innovation coming from ONF and deploy agile networks that will meet the growing and varying demands of the future.
