2019 – Driving Network Transformation through Shared Innovation
In 2018 we made significant progress in the transformation of communications network architectures, operations and processes. The dedication, innovation and inspiration of our Network Builders ecosystem partners made this possible through delivery of new technologies, reference architectures, use cases and ongoing contributions focused on advancing and maturing industry standards.
We have set a solid foundation through virtualization of the mobile core network, but our work is not done. 2019 is the year for Intel and its ecosystem partners to accelerate modernization of the network edge. These joint investments will support the roll out of 5G and edge services that will drive digital transformation, new services and business models across every vertical industry segment.
Intel Network Builders will continue to serve as a key forum for shared innovation and collaboration that will make this transformation a reality. We share a track record of similar successes with you and are excited to build on that history by distilling our shared best practices in the following areas:
– Focused investment in the innovators that will drive the next wave of edge services;
– Accelerate the development and delivery of these solutions to market through new technical education, benchmarking and co-marketing opportunities;
– Joint-engagements with Partners, Communication Service Providers and Enterprises to deliver innovative edge services on market-ready solutions that are faster and easier to deploy.
We are excited for what 2019 holds for our ecosystem and the industry. I look forward to seeing you and Network Builders Summits, industry conferences and other engagements throughout the year. Please feel free to engage on Twitter @ChandreshR01
