5G rocket for Latvia: Ericsson upgrades LMT for the future!

In the world of telecommunications, everything is currently about the next big revolution: Standalone 5G. A fresh wind blows through Latvia, where the telecommunications company Latvijas Mobilais Telefits (LMT) has teamed up with Ericsson to modernize the backend infrastructure for future 5G services. The agreement, which was lashed on Wednesday, aims to convert the subscriber motois infrastructure to a modern, service-oriented architecture, which will form the basis for a large number of new services. As Developing telecoms Year upgrade the backend cloud infrastructure from LMT. That sounds promising!

By implementing the Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI), LMT is given virtualized and cloud native network functions, which means that the conventional communication services and systems for managing user data are replaced by modern solutions. An important part of this strategy includes upgrading the IP Multimedia subsystem (IMS), which will provide more efficiency and flexibility in the core network. Aigars Benders, Technical Director of LMT, emphasizes that these steps are part of a comprehensive digitization program that aims to promote the introduction of new 5G services.

The importance of the NFV architecture

But what exactly is behind the implementation of such systems? The telecommunications industry is in a rapid change that moves from conventional infrastructures to highly developed 5G cloud networks. According to Allot , 5G not only enables fast data transmissions, but also revolutionizes the way networks are set up. This revolutionary architecture transforms “stupid pipes” into a service platform that is optimized for applications such as autonomous vehicles and intelligent networks.

A key component of this 5G architecture is the Network Function Virtualization (NFV), which enables operators to operate their networks more flexible, efficiently and cheaper. By NFV, communication service providers can better assign resources and use scale effects that are made possible by virtualization. This transformation is not only necessary, but also opens up new opportunities for monetization of IoT security solutions in order to better adapt to the increasing threats in the networked world

technological change in detail

In the background of these developments, the hardware plays a central role. More precisely, the computing and network infrastructure. As explained in the 5G zone , the hardware required is generic devices that are not specially built for certain functions. These devices benefit from hypervisors such as KVM or ESXI that enable virtualization on bare metal servers. The virtual infrastructure managers (VIM) manage the corresponding hardware resources and ensure that the virtual network functions (VNFS) can be instantiated smoothly.

A great focus is also on the quality of the user experience (Quality of Experience, QOE), which is crucial for the success of 5G services. With the correct prioritization of QoE-sensitive services, telecommunications providers can significantly improve customer experience, even if the resource division is limited. So the challenges are great, but the chances as well. LMT and Ericsson are on the right track here to be at the top of this development with innovative solutions.
