Following multiple tests and onboarding procedures, Dish Network has officially selected VMware’s Telco Cloud platform to run as an underlying cloud platform and infrastructure layer to power the carrier’s open radio access network-based 5G network. The news makes VMware the newest member to Dish’s lineup, which currently includes Altiostar, Fujitsu and Mavenir.
By using the platform, launched by VMware earlier this year, as an abstraction layer that runs across multiple network domains, Dish says it can can tap into hyper-scale public cloud capacity while maintaining its core control points.
