The PoC trial is taking part in Switzerland
Swisscom and Ericsson have partnered together on a Proof of Concept (PoC) trial that uses Ericsson's 5G's Core applications running on AWS.
It effectively means that Swisscom is leveraging Ericsson's 5G core for its customers in Switzerland.
Although only a PoC trial initially, more applications are expected to be added as the project progresses.
A press release from Ericsson notes that the PoC will explore use cases that benefit from particular areas of hybrid and public cloud, including the flexibility and elasticity it can offer to customers.
This includes looking at what it means for deployment efficiencies for certain use cases where capacity is not constantly needed, with AWS providing its service to offload Swisscom's private cloud, depending on traffic peaks.
"By bringing the Ericsson 5G Core onto AWS we will substantially change the way our networks will be built and operated," said Mark Düsener, executive vice president of mobile networks & services at Swisscom.
"The elasticity of the cloud in combination with a new magnitude in automatization will support us in delivering even better quality, more efficiently, over time." Read More…
