Vodafone is using Keysight Technologies’ 5G Network Visibility Solutions to ensure subscribers receive the most reliable and quality mobile broadband experience during the transition to 5G.

With the adoption of cloud technology, Vodafone needs robust monitoring tools capable of handling this significant increase in traffic and associated subscriber sessions while maintaining a high quality of service.

Vodafone is using the MobileStack 5G Network Visibility Software in combination with Vision Series Network Packet Brokers as a flexible, cost-effective solution to help scale up its 5G network and deliver the quality of experience needed to compete for subscribers.

The solution promises Vodafone benefits such as enabling cost-efficient monitoring at scale, adapting to new 5G technologies, scale and orchestration with distributed CUPS (Control and User Plane Separation), and enhanced 5G security

Simon Norton, head of digital and OSS at Vodafone, said they are building scalable and innovative networks capable of managing more traffic, a larger number of services with greater complexity for business to consumer and business to business sectors. 

“Keysight provides Vodafone with automated and scalable visibility tools that are critical to improving the performance of our 5G network and help us establish a future-proof, reliable, resilient, and secure network with highest possible end-user quality of experience,” said Norton.
