NAKA Mobile, which is launching the world’s first virtualized packet core mobile Internet services, has selected Cisco Virtualized Packet Core (vPC) to transform its network architecture.
The Switzerland-based NAKA Mobile plans to expand its network beyond Switzerland and provide customers with mobile Internet services around the world.
Daniel Sendin, chief operating officer, NAKA Mobile, said: “The Cisco Virtualized Packet Core gives us the flexibility to implement solutions spanning 10,000 to millions of users while using the same software over different platforms.”
NAKA Mobile has tested the Cisco Virtualized Packet Core in their labs and chose the platform to increase network flexibility. This helps enable the mobile operator to implement scalable services within days and weeks, while also reducing their total cost of ownership.
NAKA Mobile offers its communication solution to global mobile network operators (MNOs), mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) and distribution partners.
With this, NAKA becomes the first mobile operator to formally announce that they have installed and launched services on a Cisco Virtualized Packet Core.
The Cisco Virtualized Packet Core solution enables NAKA Mobile to deploy the Cisco StarOS software architecture on different hardware platforms, said Mike Iandolo, vice president and general manager, Mobile Internet Technology Group, Cisco.
