AT&T was tabbed as being furthest along in NFV deployments, though telecom rival Verizon is becoming more vocal in its own advances, according to a recent report from Technology Business Research.
In touting AT&T’s progress, TBR highlighted the telecom operator’s own touting of its moves towards network virtualization technology using NFV and SDN.
The research firm explained AT&T has been aggressive in its deployments, citing its AT&T Integrated Cloud, Network on Demand and its ECOMP project, which AT&T said is designed to automate network services and infrastructure running in a cloud environment.
