for us, shifting from a centralized to a distributed core architecture across our footprint, and we couldn’t have achieved that without virtualization,” said
Neville Ray, Chief Technology Officer, T-Mobile.“This means we can further our 5G plans with more flexibility and agility to
deliver new services to our customers – and with Sprint we’ll shift it all into overdrive!” “The size and scope of this project with
T-Mobile marks a milestone as the largest virtual packet core operating today,” said Jonathan Davidson, Senior Vice President, General Manager, Service Provider Business, Cisco. “With this new virtualized architecture with massive scale, T-Mobile can launch new services with automated deployments, spending minutes to deploy what used to take months.”
