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 Satellite Connectivity Revolution | The race for global coverage in a new mobile phone industry | Seraphim
The mobile phone industry is undergoing a transformation, with emerging technology enabling direct communication between standard mobile phones and satellites. With regulatory changes, international partnerships, and new technological standards, mobile devices will soon boast enhanced satellite connectivity. Companies like SpaceX and Apple are diving deep into the race to provide extensive satellite communication, partnering with T-Mobile and Globalstar, respectively. As the competition intensifies, companies are pushed to innovate or risk becoming obsolete.

Unleashing the Power of 5G and Satellite | Meeting the Demands of a Connected World

Unleashing the Power of 5G and Satellite | Meeting the Demands of a Connected World
The age of connectivity we live in is marked by an explosion in smart devices and data consumption, underpinned by rapid urbanization and technological innovations. This necessitates superior communication infrastructure, especially with the rise of 4K/8K video streaming, online gaming, VR/AR, and shifts in work culture prompted by COVID-19. Despite 4G/LTE networks serving us till now, they lack in terms of speed and latency for present needs. Ensuring low-latency is paramount for real-time communications, particularly in sectors like autonomous vehicles, healthcare, and finance. Integrating terrestrial networks (like 5G) with non-terrestrial networks (like satellites) presents a solution, but is challenged by technical, regulatory, and economic factors. Future advancements in satellite communication, including improved payloads and next-gen constellations, look promising. The synergy between 5G and satellite networks will shape the future of global connectivity.

Satellite Constellations and the Design of Future Networks

Satellite Constellations and the Design of Future Networks
Satellite constellations are advanced networks of strategically placed satellites designed to offer extensive global coverage, overcoming the limitations of single satellite systems. They’re pivotal in global communications, particularly in the era of 5G, enabling high-speed, low-latency connections. Different constellations operate at varying altitudes – Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) – each with unique benefits and challenges. As 5G emerges, these constellations will not only provide ultra-fast connectivity but will also bridge the digital divide, ensuring all corners of the world have access. Companies like SpaceX’s Starlink and Amazon’s Project Kuiper are pioneering efforts in this realm. However, while the opportunities are vast, challenges like interference management, space debris, and regulatory hurdles remain.

Regulatory and Policy Considerations for 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)

Regulatory and Policy Considerations for 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)
The emergence of 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) presents a revolutionary step in global digital connectivity, but it brings with it intricate regulatory and policy challenges. These directives play a pivotal role, influencing the design, services, and the very integrity of these networks. Key issues range from spectrum allocation and licensing to operational standards and the potential cyber threats these networks might face. Given the global nature of 5G NTN, coordinating regulations across international boundaries becomes paramount, as does addressing the growing concerns of space debris. Moreover, with the vast amount of data these networks handle, policies ensuring data privacy and cybersecurity are of utmost importance. Ultimately, understanding and navigating this complex regulatory landscape is crucial for the successful deployment and operation of 5G NTN.

Security and Privacy in 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)

Excellence in Private Network Security
5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) promise a new horizon in global communication with high-speed, low-latency features. Yet, as they usher in this new era, they also introduce significant security and privacy challenges. Key vulnerabilities, such as signal jamming, spoofing, and eavesdropping, pose risks to data integrity and user privacy. Addressing these threats demands a layered approach, utilizing advanced cryptographic methods, intrusion detection systems, and innovative AI/ML techniques. As we navigate the future of 5G NTN, it’s crucial to prioritize user security and privacy, balancing the immense potential of these networks with the inherent risks they present.
