Openreach, the UK digital network provider owned and run at arm’s length by BT Group, is taking a significant step towards a more agile and automated future with the deployment of Nokia's Altiplano Access Controller platform across its fibre network. This move is important for the continuing shift over to Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and its potential to revolutionise fixed and fibre connectivity in the UK. Why this matters: ▪ Enhanced Network Automation: Altiplano's SDN capabilities will enable Openreach to automate network management tasks, improving efficiency and reducing operational costs. ▪ Improved Network Visibility: The platform should provide real-time insights into network performance, enabling proactive identification and resolution of issues. ▪ Increased Agility: SDN allows for dynamic provisioning of services, enabling Openreach to respond quickly to customer demands and market changes. It's probably very obvious why this is all very useful but providing fibre to the premises in both domestic and business environments is becoming increasingly mission critical for many. Adding in this level of control to large parts of the network should mean that the service is more reliable as issues are identified and resolved earlier and more quickly. That said, its not an easy integration process and is likely to take longer than many anticipate. The good news is that once it has been deployed it will be available to all providers who utilise Openreach network for their networks. In reality that is most of the broadband networks in the UK. #Openreach #Nokia #Altiplano #SDN #Fibre #Connectivity #Innovation #Telecommunications #UK

MOCN Explained: Sharing the Core of Mobile Networks MOCN stands for Multi-Operator Core Network. It's a network architecture that allows multiple mobile network operators (MNOs) to share a common core network while maintaining their individual radio access networks (RANs). Think of it as a central hub where all the essential functionalities for managing subscribers, security, and data routing are pooled together, even though users connect through separate RANs. Some key aspects of MOCN: Shared Core: Multiple MNOs connect their user data to the same core network infrastructure, eliminating the need for each operator to maintain their own core network. This can lead to significant cost savings. Independent RANs: Each MNO can operate its own RAN network with its own spectrum allocation. This allows for independent service differentiation and network control at the local level. Increased Efficiency: Combining core resources leads to better utilization of network capacity and improved trunking efficiency, especially for data traffic. Spectrum Sharing: In advanced MOCN models, operators can even share their allocated spectrum, further optimizing its usage and potentially boosting network coverage. While MOCN deployments are still gaining traction, several notable examples showcase its growing adoption: ✅Public safety networks: United States: FirstNet utilizes MOCN for critical public safety communications. Finland: Erilisverkot, the nationwide public safety network, relies on MOCN for its core infrastructure. South Korea: The country's public safety network features MOCN for enhanced resilience and security. France: "Radio Network of the Future" project leverages MOCN for public safety communications. ✅Commercial mobile networks: Denmark: Nokia partnered with Telenor and Telia to set up the world's most advanced shared wireless network with MOCN capabilities across 2G to 5G. Malaysia: Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) , NSA 5G commercial is deployed using SWN. MOCN configuration is used to share single RAN network operated by DNB towards 6 different existing MNOs. Each MNO using their own Core Network. Other countries: MOCN deployments are ongoing or in pilot stages in several countries, including the Philippines, Spain, and Argentina.
