Telefónica Germany is building one of Europe’s first public cloud-based platforms for network automation and 5G monetization, leveraging intelligent automation software from Blue Planet, a division of Ciena. Blue Planet’s Inventory, Orchestration, and 5G Network Slicing applications are supporting Telefónica Germany’s innovative network and IT transformation, driving end-to-end resource management as well as network and service visibility and automation.
Telefónica Germany is forging ahead with its holistic network transformation, driving an architecture change to autonomous networks and building on efforts to accelerate 5G monetization and Networks as a Service (NaaS). Blue Planet is helping Telefónica Germany transition to a next-generation Operating Support System (OSS), reducing time-to-market for new services, lowering operational and maintenance costs, and improving the customer experience.
Telefónica Germany has deployed Blue Planet Inventory (BPI), Multi-Domain Service Orchestration (MDSO) and 5G Network Slicing for an overview of its network resources and services while also automating the service delivery process across a diverse, multi-vendor ecosystem. Telefónica Germany is pushing the boundaries of autonomous networking by extending intent-based orchestration across multiple network domains, including radio access, transport, and core. This will help enhance operational agility and efficiency. The Blue Planet applications are converged on the Blue Planet Cloud Native Platform, supporting Telefónica Germany to rapidly deliver 5G and other dynamic, cloud-based enterprise and consumer services.
