Ericsson has launched the Compact Packet Core, a cutting-edge solution designed to simplify the transition to cloud-native infrastructure and enhance ROI for Communication Service Providers (CSPs). This global solution integrates the Packet Core Controller (PCC) and Packet Core Gateway (PCG) network functions with a compact, one-rack version of Ericsson’s Cloud-Native Infrastructure Solution (CNIS). Fully supporting 4G, 5G Non-Standalone (NSA), and 5G Standalone (SA) networks, it allows CSPs to meet both their strategic and operational needs efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Compact Packet Core comes with pre-defined parameters and streamlined migration procedures that significantly simplify the transition to cloud-native technologies. It also offers solution lifecycle management services, ensuring automated network upgrades to keep systems up-to-date with the latest software and security features. These automated upgrades bring significant benefits, including seamless transitions and continuous innovation, while reducing operational complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monica Zethzon, Head of Solution Area Core Networks at Ericsson, emphasized the impact of this launch, stating, \u201cWith this solution, we are providing a new approach for upgrading to cloud-native and introducing 5G Core. It significantly simplifies modernization while unlocking the full potential of our world-class cloud-native software.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Compact Packet Core also includes several advanced cloud-native features such as automation, In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU), and Container-as-a-Service (CaaS) rolling upgrades. These features provide CSPs with flexibility to scale and adapt the network as they expand their services. The solution offers 80% fewer parameters to adjust during deployment, reducing the complexity of installation and software upgrades. Additionally, it helps reduce energy consumption and hardware footprint by up to 30% due to its ability to support the latest CPU generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ericsson’s solution is designed to address the challenges CSPs face when transitioning from legacy infrastructure to cloud-native models. It guarantees uninterrupted service during installation, migration, upgrades, and expansions while retaining the business logic of a CSP\u2019s network configuration. Ericsson Packet Core software, used across all deployment scenarios, ensures interoperability with existing network setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Glen Hunt, Principal Analyst at GlobalData, the Compact Packet Core removes traditional barriers to deployment by offering a pre-integrated solution with in-built configurations. This reduces both the complexity and time needed for migration, making it more cost-effective for CSPs to transition to cloud-native architectures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move to cloud-native is gaining momentum globally, with Ericsson now holding 120+ unique 5G Core or cloud-native contracts and serving over 55 live dual-mode 5G Core solution customers. Research from Ericsson Mobility Report indicates that by 2030, 60% of 5G subscriptions will be 5G Standalone (SA), signaling a significant shift toward next-gen connectivity. Ericsson\u2019s research also reveals that consumers are willing to pay up to 15% more for improved connectivity at large events, further showcasing the demand for differentiated 5G services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ericsson has been recognized as a leader in multiple industry reports, including Omdia\u2019s Market Landscape: Core Vendors 2024, Gartner\u00ae Magic Quadrant\u2122 for CSP 5G Core Network Infrastructure Solutions, and Frost Radar\u2122 for 5G network infrastructure. Currently, Ericsson powers 37 out of 60+ commercially live 5G SA networks, demonstrating its leadership in enabling global 5G transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The launch of the Ericsson Compact Packet Core further solidifies Ericsson\u2019s position as a key player in the cloud-native transformation of telecommunications networks, offering CSPs a seamless path to 5G and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
