Huawei unveils first fully containerised 5G core network

Huawei has unveiled an industry-first fully containerised 5G core network at the 5G Core Summit in Madrid.

The network aims to apply container technology to all network functions (NFs) to make network deployment more agile and provide more rapid service rollout, which helps carriers empower new businesses and operations across industries and digitally transform them.

Huawei has adopted cloud-native in network function virtualisation-based core networks to realise stateless design, cross-DC deployment, A/B test, and other innovative technologies.

The company also revealed the world’s first 5G core network based on microservice-centric architecture (MCA), which supports 2G/3G/4G/5G NSA/5G SA network access.

The company has signed more than 50 5G-based commercial contracts across the world and it assists telecom carriers to achieve a head start for 5G deployment and deliver ultimate user experience
