HPE 5G Lab will be the catalyst that unlocks a new wave of open,
interoperable 5G innovation, as telcos prepare for mass adoption of
5G
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) today unveiled the HPE 5G Lab,
a test and development environment where telcos and partners can
validate and integrate 5G network solutions. Using the HPE 5G Lab,
telcos can speed up 5G adoption and access new revenues faster by
getting hands-on experience with the latest 5G innovations in a
live test environment. The HPE 5G Lab has already gained support
from key industry leaders including Affirmed Networks, Casa
Systems, Intel, JMA Wireless, Metaswitch, Nokia, Openet and Red
Hat.
HPE’s growing 5G portfolio unleashes the potential of 5G at the
network core, at the edge, and in the enterprise. Already this
year, HPE has introduced HPE 5G Core Stack, an open, cloud-native
5G core network software stack; the HPE Resource Aggregator for
Open Distributed Infrastructure Management, simplifying the
management of telco grade compute infrastructure for 5G across
thousands of sites; and HPE Edge Orchestrator, enabling telcos to
deliver new edge computing services to customers at the edge of
telco networks. Now, the HPE 5G Lab provides a proving ground
enabling telcos, network equipment providers and independent
software vendors (ISVs) to validate these technologies, prepare for
mass adoption and invest with confidence.
5G standards have been designed so telcos can build their 5G
networks with open, cloud-native platforms that utilize modular
software and hardware components from different vendors, allowing
them to deploy new 5G services faster, more securely and in a more
flexible way. However, this represents a big shift in a market that
previously relied on proprietary, vertically-integrated systems. In
order to embrace this shift with confidence and assurance, telcos
are looking to work with trusted and proven partners that can
demonstrate performance and interoperability in a live, real-time
test environment.
“Governments and telecoms operators around the world are looking
to open 5G technologies as an opportunity to move away from a
number of vendors which have raised fundamental concerns around
security, resilience and market diversification,” said Phil
Mottram, vice president and general manager of Communications and
Media Solutions at HPE. “However, despite multiple successful
deployments, doubts still persist about the ability of open 5G
technologies to truly replace the old way of building networks.
With the launch of the HPE 5G Lab, telcos, solution vendors and
national stakeholders can test innovative new solutions with
confidence and ensure that they are ready for mass adoption.”
By taking an open approach, telcos now have the flexibility to
work with practically any ISV or best-of-breed solution provider to
create tailored networking solutions tuned to specific verticals
and use cases. The HPE 5G Lab encourages telcos, vendors and
platform providers to come together to test, document, and validate
their technologies as a single solution.
The initial focus of the HPE 5G Lab will be to bring innovation
to the previously monolithic cellular network core. To fully
realize the benefits and power of 5G, initial deployments of 5G
radio access networks, currently utilizing 4G core infrastructure
need to migrate to a standalone 5G core. This will enable holistic
management, data sharing, and slicing into virtual 5G networks with
dedicated usage and characteristics. The HPE 5G Core Stack is truly
open, allowing telcos to swap out network functions (NFs) as needed
and therefore stay nimble and ahead of the competition. The HPE 5G
Lab enables telcos to test and validate multiple NFs from different
vendors whilst relying on HPE for integration with the HPE 5G Core
Stack.
The HPE 5G Lab, located in Fort Collins, Colorado, is available
worldwide to customers and HPE partners via remote access and
includes the provision of personnel to manage and operate the lab
environment, as well as assist with integration and testing. The
lab is based around HPE 5G portfolio solutions and will include
multiple 5G related products and solutions:
- HPE 5G Core Stack - including 5G network functions from
HPE and our partners, HPE Shared Data Environment (SDE) and
orchestration layer
- HPE Telco Cloud - including industry-standard servers,
storage and networking components to run the 5G network, along with
cloud and container platform software such as HPE Ezmeral Container
Platform, RedHat OpenShift, RedHat OpenStack, and VMware
Tanzu.
- HPE Telco Blueprints for Core and Edge - including the
infrastructure and VM stacks, supporting both third-party and HPE
solutions such as the HPE 5G Core Stack and HPE Edge
Orchestrator
- Aruba networking equipment supporting telco-provisioned
services for enterprise and Wi-Fi 6/5G interworking
To access the HPE 5G Lab and achieve validation with the 5G Core
Stack, ISVs first need to join the HPE Partner Ready program. This
will allow them to demonstrate compliance with 3GPP standards and
benefit from HPE’s growing 5G ecosystem, including HPE’s global
salesforce, go-to-market support and innovative delivery models
through HPE GreenLake and HPE Financial Services.
With HPE GreenLake, telcos can acquire an end-to-end 5G core
network as a pre-integrated software and hardware platform on an
as-a-service consumption model. By deploying HPE 5G Core Stack with
HPE GreenLake, carriers acquire a purpose-built, open platform for
5G with minimal up-front investment, and the ability to scale
according to demand, ready to support unpredictable growth and
future-proofed for forthcoming 5G evolutions.
HPE and partners have already showcased several very successful
cloud-native, multi-vendor 5G core deployments, such as those
demonstrated in Korea and France.
HPE – a trusted and proven partner to telcos
HPE has over 30 years of experience in the telecoms industry,
with more than 300 telco customers in 160 countries. In the core,
700 million subscribers across 82 carriers depend on HPE Mobile
Core software, and HPE was recognized by Frost & Sullivan with
the 2019 Leadership award for Global 5G Infrastructure Enabling
