Accelerate 5G deployment with streamlined rollout, precise integration and execution at scale.
5G and Open RAN for MNOs
WWT is eager to partner with MNOs as they advance toward virtualized 4G and 5G networks.
Our end-to-end (E2E) model can help mobile network operators (MNO) meet their aggressive 5G targets. Our unique understanding of the service provider landscape, paired with unparalleled supply chain capabilities, positions WWT as a critical enabler to execute large-scale 5G implementations at scale and on time.
E2E opportunities and case studies
Access network
WWT accelerated rollout of open RAN for a multinational telco by facilitating OEM partnerships, leading procurement and centrally integrating the complex solution before shipping to 20 pilot sites. We simplified the transaction into a single quote and shortened time to market.
Core network
A Tier 1 U.S. telco preparing for 5G needed to deploy 5,000 optical racks to 2,250 sites. We staged the entire solution in our integration facility and deployed it at scale, shaving the initial seven-year plan in half. Then we trained the customer's engineers to ensure future success.
Public Cloud
WWT helped a major international telco avoid roughly $10 million in capex when it cut the time it took to validate its cloud platform against the latest release of the Vmware vCloud Suite from 18 months to six months by automating and de-risking the process in the ATC.
5G network deployment is intense and can be overwhelming. Success hinges on taking a tactical, methodical approach.
5G transformation is a massive exercise in strategic planning, capital allocation and execution. WWT can help MNOs mature their 5G capabilities, particularly as it relates to executing pilot programs and expanding coverage so they can more quickly realize ROI.
Integration is key to open RAN success
As the industry moves toward 5G, the RAN will become increasingly software-driven and built with a variety of vendors, which brings added complexity to consuming this transformational technology and places an added emphasis on supply chain and integration services.
