MTN Group forms disaggregated networking ecosystem to interoperate with top global vendors
SANTA CLARA, Calif., November 12, 2024 – IP Infusion, a global leader in open networking solutions, announced today that MTN Group, Africa's largest mobile network operator, has selected several organizations, including IP Infusion, to service its newly formed Open and Disaggregated Networking Category – Software. This approval comes alongside three other vendors, and through partnership with NEC XON, a leading African integrator.
Founded in 1994, MTN Group is one of the largest mobile network operators in the world, serving 280 million customers across 16 markets. As a member of the Telecom Infra Project (TIP), the company contributes to standardizing critical networking technologies, including Software-Defined Networking (SDN) for Transport, Open Optical and Packet Transport (OOPT), Disaggregated Distributed Backbone Router (DDBR), and Disaggregated Cell Site Router (DCSG) streams.
MTN Group selected IP Infusion as a software provider for the Open Transport and Disaggregated category following a successful Request for Proposal process. 目標は、オープンかつディスアグリゲート型の技術を活用し、設備投資を削減するとともに、運用コストの効率化を推進することにあります。
"By adopting open and disaggregated networking, we're able to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of our network infrastructure," said Lloyd Mphahlele 氏、MTN Group グループテクノロジー本部長. "This approach not only drives innovation but also allows us to better serve our customers by improving service delivery and expanding access to the latest digital solutions. Our goal is to ensure that the connectivity we provide continues to meet the evolving needs of the communities we serve."
"IP Infusion has always been the market leader in open networking solutions," said Atsushi Ogata, President and CEO of IP Infusion. "We are 100% committed to servicing the open networking market, as it is a core value of our founding. Software-based networking and routing and switching are as relevant today as ever."
"Disaggregation drives down costs, enhances innovation, and allows network operators like MTN to make independent hardware and software choices, ultimately making connectivity more accessible and affordable to the people across Africa that need it most," said Anthony Laing, General Manager of Networking at NEC XON.
