du selects HPE for digital transformation journey to 5G

Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced that du, a subsidiary of Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC), is deploying HPE’s end-to-end service orchestration software to accelerate digital transformation and generate new revenue streams from their expanding 5G network.

To support new services and improve the customer experience, du is transitioning from a legacy system to a next-generation Operations Support System (OSS). This HPE-powered digital transformation will allow du to expand its offerings, improve time to market, and monetize its 5G investment.

HPE brings proven domain expertise and openness to du’s new OSS stack, delivering a broad range of orchestration use cases that the market now demands. The strategic Data Factory at du is a key enabler of the company’s next-generation OSS with advanced analytics capabilities. Du’s new orchestration stack is now future-proofed by HPE’s open standards-based approach and is ready for all 5G network functions (NFs) that du chooses in the coming years, thanks to its simple integration into this existing single data layer and du’s transformation program Business Support System (BSS).

“The right OSS solution is a competitive advantage for us to provide our customers with the seamless digital lifestyle experience they deserve,” said Peter Larnholt, Chief Information Officer at du. “HPE will deliver a huge leap in our technology capabilities in a very short space of time, giving us a stable and secure architecture that will support our leadership position in 5G. Our new technology estate will cement our reputation as one of the region’s most advanced telcos offering some of the most advanced Edge orchestration and 5G services in the market.”

“HPE OSS and orchestration software has been developed to reduce the risk of deploying 5G networks and help operators like du maximise their return on investment,” said Ahmad AlKhallafi, managing director, UAE, Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “We’re pleased to be supporting du with their next-generation OSS system that will help them seize the opportunity presented by 5G and network slicing and embrace open, cloud-native principles, as well as transforming their fixed line and business services.”
