Technologies
From virtualization to automation
NFV leads to “broader thesis around how you can operate the entire
telecom network as a cloud. You can provision resources from a telecom
network, access them more on demand and deploy services much quicker.
You can’t do 5G…without a virtualized infrastructure.”

--Shekar Ayyar, EVP and GM, Telco and Edge Cloud, VMware
Microservice-centric 5G core
“5G is on. Industry digital transformation speeds up. Based on cutting-
edge technologies such as cloud native, MEC, and network slicing,
Huawei 5G core network features on all cloud, one core, full-service
enablement and automation, builds 5G deterministic networking, and
enables thousands of industries.”

--Jason Dai, President, Cloud Core Network Strategy and Business


Development, Huawei Technologies
Cybersecurity considerations
“From Huawei’s perspective, there needs to be these programs that test
everybody’s products…The fact is we have to make America safer and we
have to make sure those mechanisms are in place to help deal with what the
major nation states might do. We need greater transparency. Right now, we
aren’t learning lessons from the real world of cybersecurity.” 

--Andy Purdy, Chief Security Officer, Huawei USA


Transforming your workforce
“We are finding a major dynamic right now where we start to see the
organizational dynamic happening in a telco, in a carrier right now,
bringing together the IT aspect, the network aspect, the B2B aspect, the
business services aspect, in a way that we’ve never seen before. It’s like
the cloud technology is influencing the operational transformation in
carriers.”

--Gabriele Di Piazza, VP, Products and Solutions, Telco NFV, VMware
