Etisalat has successfully on-boarded its first virtualised telecom function using Affirmed Networks’ virtualised Evolved Packet Core (vEPC) solution.
UAE-based Etisalat made its first live LTE data and voice calls on its NFV telco cloud platform in April this year.
The vEPC will be used to deliver broadband and voice services for both mobile and fixed users, in addition to providing advanced connected car and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services.
