Reliance Jio said the standalone core network will unlock the \u201ctrue value\u201d of 5G technology in the country, and the telecom operator is ready to go with both 5G core network and the underlying cloud infrastructure. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo, the true value of 5G that can be realized only if we deploy as standalone core networks. Differentiated features of 5G, whether network slicing, low latency services or use cases like enterprise 5G and, private 5G networks etc, can only be realized if we are deploying a standalone core network,\u201d Aayush Bhatnagar, senior vice president – Technology at Jio said at the recently concluded ETTelecom\u2019s 5G Congress. <\/p>\n
Bhatnagar revealed that the telco is in advanced stages of readiness for commercializing the 5G RAN and the 5G core network. \u201c…we are fully self-sufficient and ready to go with both the 5G core network, the underlying cloud infrastructure as well as the 5G enabled or enhanced OSS and BSS systems, which will play a very critical role in monetizing 5G services,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n
Jio recently said that its development of in-house Massive MIMO and indoor 5G small cells is in advanced stages. Mukesh Ambani, chairman of RIL recently said that Jio was planning to launch 5G in the second half of 2021. The company is currently awaiting the telecom department’s nod to test its 5G equipment.<\/p>\n
The executive said that Jio\u2019s backhaul network is ready to take the workloads of 5G and its network will not require any major upgrade for the latest high-speed technology. <\/p>\n
\u201cJio has been a fiber first company since the beginning. So, as far as the backhaul is concerned, the metro core network, the aggregate network, and also the long distance network, it is already ready to take the workloads of 5G and we do not foresee any major upgrades, which need to be done to support hundreds and millions of active 5G customers on the network,\u201d Bhatnagar added.<\/p>\n
Jio has also enabled the programmatic management of its optical transport and IP networks, which is live today even in its 4G network.<\/p>\n
\u201c…from a backhaul perspective, we are all green. Even from the perspective of the core and aggregate networks and the National long distance network capacity, we are all green. So we are just good to go as far as 5G is concerned,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The executive said that 5G\u2019s key capability –network slicing– will enable new in the enterprise market. \u201c…network slicing can be seen as a bridge between the next generation telecom network, which is the 5G as a core and the software as a service model on how to bring these enterprise applications closer to your consumers, how to provide them on demand to our different enterprise customers, and also on how to ensure a marketplace model through this particular SaaS offering,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n
Jio, he revealed, has also created cloud native OSS and BSS platforms, which would help in accelerating time to market for these enterprise services and through network slicing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
