Communication service providers ( CSPs ) have big plans for tomorrow ’ s 5G networks . They envision versatile , programmable infrastructures that can be customized to meet the needs of diverse enterprise applications . DISH Networks isn ’ t waiting for tomorrow . They ’ re building “ Network of Networks ” today .
DISH ’ s 5G network will deliver a multitude of services tailored to different customer requirements over a unified infrastructure . It will run as an open , cloud-based system that can continuously onboard new technology from multiple vendors . And VMware innovations are playing a key role in making it happen .
DISH ’ s 5G network is built to meet diverse application requirements for latency , performance , resiliency , and other characteristics . It ’ s designed from the ground up to be :
Open , to integrate multiple vendors and clouds Agile , to quickly assemble network resources based on service requirements Programmable , to automatically instantiate slices end to end — from core to edge , cloud to customer
Leveraging VMware Cloud™ on AWS , DISH has started a multi-cloud journey to maintain flexibility into the future . It doesn ’ t stop there , however . Their network characteristics further extend from the core to the RAN . In the end , DISH ’ s horizontal architecture will span from their core to the RAN and edge without network siloes .
A thing dreams are made of for most CSPs , DISH has created this network by leveraging cloud-native approaches . The increased flexibility and agility that comes from cloud-native environments do bring complexities . Fortunately , the VMware telco cloud portfolio has helped to simplify those complexities through dynamic automation and unified service assurance . DISH can use this automated , open , agile and programmable network to :
Monetize : With vendor-neutral foundations , DISH can create new partnerships and services far faster than traditional CSPs . Deliver Services Quickly : With a network that dynamically composes services based on customer needs , DISH can create customizable services which meet SLAs , in a fraction of the time from current standards . Continually Improve Efficiencies : With the ability to access unified data and components , the ecosystem and DISH itself can build applications that will help enable progressively smarter network operations .
These are groundbreaking capabilities — and it ’ s only the beginning . The real story starts now , as DISH uses them to help customers transform their businesses .
