“As a Google Cloud partner, Keysight will support service providers in their transition to cloud and edge computing, which are essential for delivering advanced applications and use cases such as media streaming, cloud gaming, connected vehicles, private wireless networks, and immersive experiences,” said Scott Bryden, vice president of Keysight’s Carrier Industry Solutions group. “Keysight’s solutions in wireless and wired technologies make it easier for mobile operators and hyperscalers to build unified, heterogeneous networks that support a wide range of use cases, requirements, and applications.”
Telecommunications providers are migrating their network and application operations to cloud-native, container-based solutions. Standalone (SA) 5G deployments using commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware with open-standard interfaces are accelerating the virtualization of RAN architectures and network slicing technology. This digital transformation is facilitating innovation at the network edge with real-time data processing closer to where data is collected and consumed.
“Low-latency access to cloud capabilities and applications is becoming increasingly important for businesses operating at the network edge,” said Tanuj Raja, Global Leader of Strategic Partnerships at Google Cloud. “We are excited to collaborate with Keysight to help communications service providers quickly and cost-effectively deploy cloud-native 5G and deliver greater connectivity for customers at the network edge.”
Keysight offers a comprehensive range of solutions for early design validation, system interoperability and performance, network and access point security, and compliance with 3GPP and O-RAN specifications. Built on common hardware and software platforms, Keysight's end-to-end portfolio of solutions enables a cloud-centric ecosystem to accelerate the deployment of multi-access computing (MEC), network functions virtualization (NFV), and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This empowers mobile operators to confidently orchestrate innovative wireless connectivity services at the network edge.
