Tech Mahindra and Microsoft have just announced a strategic partnership to enable cloud-powered 5G core network modernisation for the telcos globally. With the 5G core network transformation, telcos will be able to develop use cases for 5G and meet the needs of their customers in the growing virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), edge computing and internet of things (IoT) fields. The cloud-powered 5G core network modernisation would enable the telcos to optimise and secure business operations. Further, the telcos would be able to develop green networks at reduced costs and bring new products/services to market faster.
How will the Partnership Work between Tech Mahindra and Microsoft?
In this newly announced partnership, Tech Mahindra will provide its comprehensive solutions, expertise, and managed service offerings like Network Cloudification as a Service and AIOps to the telcos who are looking to transform their 5G core networks.
