Huawei Egypt in collaboration with Orange Egypt have successfully modernized & virtualized the EPC (Evolved Packet Core) & DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) moving the core network’s traditionally run on dedicated hardware to software based elements operating on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers.
Orange Egypt is the first in Egypt & within all Orange affiliate to go virtual with business critical function (Packet Core) on a mass market use case (Entire network swap/modernization).
This new milestone is marking a strategically long term relationship which lasted for more than 13 years.
In order to provide its users with an unmatched experience, Orange Egypt has decided to use the latest NFV&Cloud technologies. Through this strategic partnership, Huawei’s vEPC solution enabled Orange Egypt to build an agile networks that quickly scale to match the performance demands of smart services, support faster service rollout, and dynamically allocate virtual resources while providing carrier-grade availability.
