Intel has launched its virtualised cloud reference design 5G infrastructure, which will allow communication service providers to quickly deploy their services over 5G networks. “This virtualised, cloud-ready reference design offers the communications industry a path to 5G, allowing CoSPs to speed deployment of new services and jump-start their development of edge computing and services. It reduces the time to market thanks to pre-integrated components for interoperability and proven technology from Intel,” Caroline Chan, vice president and general manager of the Communications Infrastructure Division in Intel’s Data Centre Group, told Total Telecom at an industry event in London this week. Intel's 5G infrastructure reference design will allow customers to rapidly deploy cloud enabled, agile 5G networks to support a whole range of innovative use cases.
