VIAVI Solutions is set to showcase advances underpinning key shifts in the telecom industry with over 20 companies at MWC from 3-6 March. Demonstrations at the event will reinforce the importance of the telecom ecosystem and industry collaboration as communication networks become more open and more complex.
VIAVI will be joining with companies from across the network, device, infrastructure, system integrator, service and academic sectors to demonstrate its technology in action.
MWC collaborations will include Calnex Solutions for network test, Infosys for Cloud-based network management, leveraging Infosys Cobalt, and Samsung, NVIDIA, the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and Yonsei University for AI-RAN.
Collaborations on 6G will feature A*STAR Institute for Infocomm Research (A*STAR I2R), King’s College London, Nokia Bell Labs and Qualcomm Technologies.
Showcases for non-terrestrial networks (NTN) will include Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), KT and Rohde & Schwarz.
VIAVI’s solutions for Open RAN implementation and testing will also be exhibied at this year’s event. Open RAN demonstrations will showcase VIAVI’s work with CableLabs, Calnex Solutions, Digital Catapult, Ericsson, i14y Lab/EANTC, Mavenir, Pegatron 5G, Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT), Radisys, Rohde & Schwarz, StarHub, SUTD, Synergy Design Technology and VVDN Technologies.
“In order to monetise their investments, operators must optimise and secure increasingly complex network architectures comprising 6G, AI and the Cloud,” explained Sameh Yamany, Chief Technology Officer, VIAVI. “It will take a community of trusted vendors to dynamically address the resulting challenges. The ecosystems being put in place and the standards being developed will, therefore, play a key role in the technology being delivered.
“With over a century in network test and optimisation, VIAVI is playing a leading role in modeling, developing and enabling next-generation and mission-critical networks and we are delighted to have the support of the ecosystem at MWC.”
