PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Antel, the leading Mobile Operator in Uruguay, is working with VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) for a use case-driven trial using the VMware Telco Cloud Platform to support a Proof of Concept (PoC).


With the emergence of 5G, communications service providers (CoSPs) have the opportunity to develop new business models and engage with a larger ecosystem of partners to deliver new and disruptive services that are more relevant in the digital world. This transformation requires a virtualized and containerized telco cloud architecture to modernize legacy networks.

CoSPs are selecting VMware’s horizontal multi-cloud platform for their implementations of 5G networks in South America. This cloud-native architecture will help Antel gain operational efficiencies and bring services and innovation to market faster. Using this integrated platform will allow Antel to deploy new network functions on the same Telco Cloud architecture from core to RAN to edge, enabling the scale and agility needed to deliver services on the 5G network.

This PoC between Antel and VMware was made possible with the help of AT Innovando Juntos, a local partner; the three companies are working together to help Antel build a world-class 5G network to support the growing demands of the consumer and enterprise customers in Uruguay.

Antel Uruguay has a steep history in implementing emerging technology to drive new service creation for strategic business development, improving logistics, and helping in the area of process improvement. Antel continues to push the boundaries of innovation and infrastructure deployment, being the first company to enable the first commercial 5G network in Latin America.(1) This PoC is the next milestone in their journey to build their commercial 5G SA network in the near future.

“To help with the rollout of 5G networks, VMware offers service providers a single platform to modernize their network infrastructure efficiently and cost effectively,” said Sanjay Uppal, senior vice president and general manager, Service Provider and Edge, VMware. “VMware is proud to be an existing partner of Antel, and we look forward to helping them successfully trial the VMware Telco Cloud Platform.”

The space industry should reach $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2040, according to a report by Citibank analysts. At the same time, a recent report from Inmarsat and Globant estimates the world could reach net zero up to ten years ahead of the 2050 target if industries make the most of existing and emerging space-based satellite technology. Suffice to say, space can offer an array of solutions for sustainability, security and connectivity. Mobile communications have evolved from generation to generation, adding better capabilities, and the trend is far from being over. The sixth generation is already in the making, and the core driving factors for 6G will revolve around enhancing human communication, including immersive experience, telepresence, multimodal collaboration and interaction. 6G will also aim to enhance machine communication, with the focus on autonomous machines and vehicles capable of sensing their surrounding environment in real time (network as a sensor). This article expands on how small satellites will augment the future of communications that starts already today.
