TELUS SCOOPS TOP AWARDS
In Opensignal ’ s first Canada 5G User Experience Report 2021 , which analysed Canada ’ s next-generation networks , TELUS took home six awards including Fastest 5G Download and Upload Speeds , Best 5G Video Experience , Best Voice App Experience and Best 5G Availability nationwide . Additionally , TELUS recently earned the top spot in Ookla ’ s 2021 Fastest Mobile Network .
These achievements , along with the numerous , sustained accolades TELUS has earned over the years , showcase the strength and speed of TELUS ’ globalleading mobile network .
These blocks can be virtualised and used in different environments . In other words , here we talk about Virtual Network Functions ( VNF ) and Network Function Virtualisation infrastructure ( NFVi ). This is all about how to coordinate among multitudes of VNFs and Cloud-native Network Functions ( CNFs ). However , the control and overall management of the network is a different story .”
Commenting on how important network softwarisation is to the digital journey of TELUS , Tizghadam pointed out the challenges of modernising legacy applications in relation to network cloudification .
“ The challenge lies in modernising our networks through cloudification and accelerating the time to production release with the limitation of not being able to easily migrate , or replace , all legacy workloads with cloud-native equivalents at once .
“ A good cloudification strategy should be able to build a bridge between two silos : the silo of legacy applications that you want to modernise and the silo of new modern cloud-native workloads . Towards finding that strategy , the first thing to keep in mind is that cloud is not just another location where you plan to migrate your workload to , cloud is rather a new method . To address the two-silos problem , one effective approach is to build an abstraction layer by creating a unified software development pipeline , where you have put together all you need to deliver code safely and reliably to the production . The abstraction layer enables us to use the same pipeline to push the code to production , both for cloud native workload , as well as legacy .
“ At TELUS , this is what we try to achieve in our cloudification programme and more generally in our network softwarisation .”
