As a latecomer to the competitive 5G market, DISH Wireless needed to deliver a differentiated experience that delivered speed, agility, and scalability. Its vision focused on the principles of openness, security, and flexibility. To meet the dynamic demands of 5G business, DISH decided to take a cloud-native approach to building its network.
DISH also decided to partner with Blue Planet, a division of Ciena, for intelligent automation that brings real-time value to the DISH wireless network and the entire DISH ecosystem.
The videos and summaries below provide an overview of the competitive challenges faced by DISH Wireless, explain DISH’s strategy to win in the market, explain why DISH chose to partner with Blue Planet, and explain why DISH chose to partner with Blue Planet. We provide real-world examples of how Wireless leverages Blue. Planet’s intelligent automation capabilities deploy dynamic solutions in cloud-native 5G environments.
Important points
DISH Wireless’ cloud-native 5G network provides optimal speed and scalability.
DISH Wireless is a virtualized 5G mobile operator known for connecting businesses and driving innovation. However, DISH was a latecomer to the North American mobile market at the time the company began its journey to becoming a 5G provider. As a result, the company realized that it needed to offer a significantly different customer experience than what existing players were already offering.
Traditional communications OSS and IT environments consist of layers of legacy systems on top of which new technologies are added, creating inefficient and intertwined systems that typically rely on manual processes to maintain functionality. Masu. This means that traditional communication environments built for static networks are slow. But in today’s 5G world of instant gratification, providers must offer speed, agility, and scalability to compete.
As part of its differentiated strategy, DISH has established three core principles of its 5G vision.
- Open. Dish’s vision is an open, standards-based environment across the ecosystem that ensures consistency in building IT infrastructure and eases the process of deploying new vendor software across the network.
- Safe. Security is built into every aspect of your network and IT infrastructure. DISH requires all software vendors and partners to follow DISH’s rigorous security-first practices.
- flexible. To bring new services to market in a matter of weeks, DISH emphasized the flexibility of an open, programmable infrastructure.
Three core principles underpin DISH Wireless’ 5G strategy
Additionally, in order to obtain the frequency license, DISH Wireless has committed to addressing coverage milestones that require rapid deployment of sites across the United States.
To meet the many dynamic demands of 5G business, DISH decided to adopt a cloud-native approach to network construction, including the transport layer, packet core layer, and RAN layer, and partnered with partners including Blue Planet. We built an ecosystem. Open, secure, flexible core principles.
Blue Planet’s intelligent automation brings real-time value to the DISH wireless network.
Blue Planet, a division of Ciena, provides multi-vendor, multi-layer software automation for communications networks with a focus on inventory, federation, orchestration, assurance and analytics that drive closed-loop automation.
DISH Wireless leverages Blue Planet’s intelligent automation capabilities to deploy two dynamic solutions in DISH’s cloud-native 5G environment.
- Dynamic inventory. DISH needed a single source of accurate data across transport, packet core, and RAN that could be used to drive automation. As DISH’s virtualized and cloud-native environments scale and scale, a single source of truth provides a view of what’s actually in your network versus what’s planned.
- dynamic service Order management. Publishing this dynamic service catalog to his BSS layer allows wholesaler or retailer customers to place orders, which are then orchestrated back into the network through a series of dynamic workflows.
As part of meeting FCC compliance requirements, DISH leverages Blue Planet’s Dynamic Inventory to drive the activation of more than 200 DISH cell sites each day. The real-time accuracy of Blue Planet’s detection information significantly minimized truck movements and reduced site activation costs by 90%.
Blue Planet Cloud-Native Intelligent Automation in the DISH Environment
In the next phase of DISH’s journey, the real-time accuracy of Blue Planet’s inventory solution will enable DISH to leverage its network with advanced analytics and value-added services to more effectively monetize.
“[DISH is] Forward-thinking customers willing to experiment—[and] Be willing to fail quickly. . . As a vendor, we have also shared the ability to move forward with our own roadmaps and plans orders of magnitude faster than normal. ”
