Barcelona, Spain, Feb. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barcelona, Spain, February 27th, 2018 - Cloudstreet, the Network Slicing Company, is pleased to announce it will join the Telecom Infra Project’s (TIP) End-to-End Network Slicing (E2E-NS) project group. The project group looks to identify use cases that can be researched, developed and demonstrated to help operators overcome many of the key challenges of employing network slicing to support their 5G services.
The End-to-End Network Slicing (E2E-NS) project group will demonstrate the power of Software Defined Networks and Network Function Virtualization (SDN/NFV) to support true novel, comprehensive and defining applications of the approach, connecting elements from UE to radio/access network, backhaul, mobile core and application/service providers. With a goal of demonstrating the reach, flexibility and scalability of the model, the project will stage use case-specific Proofs-of-Concept (PoCs) across multiple vendors, domains and operators. In at least one scoped use case the project will demonstrate the ability to support at least four simultaneous sub-slices at the UE-level ported across two 4G LTE carrier networks.
“There is no doubt that this project represents the very bleeding edge of the Network Slicing movement,” said Mika Skarp, CTO & Founder of Cloudstreet. “Bringing together all of the key players in the ecosystem, from carriers to equipment vendors, integrators and app and orchestration innovators like Cloudstreet, TIP’s E2E-NS project is precisely the vehicle to demonstrate to the world and our PoC-committed carrier clients how Network Slicing gets done. Needless to say, we are thrilled to see this project come to the forefront and precisely in time for MWC18”
“It’s great to have Cloudstreet on board as part of this new project group,” said project co-chair Andy Corston-Petrie of BT. “I look forward to working closely with them to explore some exciting use cases that help progress some of the critical challenges facing network slicing.”
The project group will employ Cloudstreet’s recently US and European patented Network Slicing Platform, the Dynamic Profile Controller™ (DPC™). Following a lengthy patent application and search process, the Cloudstreet’s DPC™’s unique “Profile Prioritization” and “Wireless Transmission Capacity Management” solution has just this month been approved by the US patent Office and in Europe as well for three separate inventions covering the ability to determine adequate wireless capacity for a given application and request, authenticate and provision that capacity dynamically. Working in concert with the company’s carrier-grade slice trigger modules including its REST API, Mobile App and Application Library, the company will demonstrate how its open approach and architecture will allow a high degree of flexibility for multiple use cases while adhering to the highest standards on the path to 5G set forth by bodies like 3GPP and 5GEx.
Readers who are interested in seeing some of these technologies at work live are invited to visit Cloudstreet in Barcelona at this year’s Mobile World Congress. Cloudstreet executives will be on-hand throughout the conference at Business Finland’s Pavilion in Hall 3 Stand 3B10.
