Introduces 5 Steps towards Virtualization; Full Multi-Vendor Interoperability Not on the Horizon

SAN JOSE, CA, USA, April 20, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The potential for full interoperability between different NFV ecosystems remains uncertain as it goes against the current telecommunications equipment vendor business model, according to the latest report from EJL Wireless Research titled “Mobile Network Virtualization Fundamentals.” “We believe the realization of full NFV will be a gradual and long term process. Along the way, new business models for equipment vendors will need to be created and built with the support of service providers. We have introduced the concept for a five step evolutionary process for hardware/software platforms to achieve NFV within the wireless market” says co-author, Donglin Shen. “While we believe that NFV benefits the current business model for equipment vendors within their own ecosystem, the issue of full multi-vendor interoperability highlights the ongoing business model differences between service providers and equipment vendors. It is the similar to full multi-vendor CPRI interoperability for the fronthaul link” says founder and President, Earl Lum.

The analysis covers the current reference architecture for NFV, the role of the OpenDaylight project, the current ecosystem of equipment vendors as well as the hardware/software platform impact to support NFV. Additionally, the analysis covers the current views on both a virtualized EPC and virtualized RAN (vRAN) within a mobile network as well as virtual baseband units (vBBU) and virtualized base stations (vBS)
