TECHNOLOGY STRATEGY
“ Managing such large volumes of data , particularly in real-time , can strain network resources and lead to bandwidth issues .”
Nokia , the telecommunications equipment manufacturer , addresses these challenges through appliance-based solutions . Erez Sverdlov , Vice President of Cloud and Network Services , Europe at Nokia , notes that its 5G User Plane Function ( UPF ) provides “ the same robust , secure software as our cloud-based 5G UPF , however , in a much smaller form-factor with extremely high throughput – 400Gbps in a two-server 96 cores configuration using HP Gen11 and AMD ’ s Zen 4 chipsets .”
Interoperability between platforms presents additional complications . As a result , Erez recommends partnerships with cloud providers and the use of container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes for resource automation and scaling . He emphasises the importance of adherence to open standards to enhance interoperability across systems .
