According to the Ericsson Mobility Report, global 5G subscribers are projected to triple from 1.6 billion in 2023 to 5.3 billion by 2029.
Simon Norton, head of Digital & OSS at Vodafone, said: “Vodafone is building scalable and innovative networks capable of managing more traffic, a larger number of services with greater complexity for business to consumer and business to business sectors.”
In a Keysight Technologies press release, the company revealed that telecommunications service provider, Vodafone, is using Keysight’s 5G Network Visibility Solutions to ensure subscribers receive the most reliable and highest quality mobile broadband experience during the transition to 5G.
With the adoption of cloud technology, Vodafone needs robust monitoring tools capable of handling this significant increase in traffic and associated subscriber sessions while maintaining high quality of service.
Keysight’s 5G Network Visibility Solutions provides automated, real-time, end-to-end visibility of subscriber-level traffic across physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures. Vodafone is using the MobileStack 5G Network Visibility Software combined with Vision Series Network Packet Brokers as a flexible, cost-effective solution to help scale up its 5G network and deliver the experience needed to compete for subscribers.
Norton says having automated and scalable visibility tools is critical to improving the performance of the telco’s 5G network and helping it establish a future-proof, reliable, resilient, and secure network with the highest possible end-user quality of experience.
