We are living on the edge of a technological revolution—one that will alter how we live, communicate, and conduct business forever. While we’ve felt disruption before, like the move from analog to digital, the first smartphone, or the launch of the app store, this time of change is distinctive. 

Open Mobile is deploying a virtualised IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Core from Interop Technologies to provide a range of network services in Puerto Rico.

Advancements in virtualization have drastically improved the way mobile network infrastructure can and should be built. Making the move from managing a physical hardware infrastructure environment to a virtualized software infrastructure environment greatly reduces CAPEX, but also can result in increased OPEX savings as the responsibility for the maintaining service shifts to the cloud provider. 

The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with numerous potential benefits. Baby monitors, smart meters, even the connected car are all made possible by IoT technology. With this, the sheer volume of IoT connected devices is projected to explode in coming years, surpassing even the number of mobile handsets we use today. 

There’s no question that mobile phones and the internet have completely transformed how consumers and businesses communicate today and these technologies seem to amaze us with their innovation on an almost daily basis. 

This all-IP revolution and the evolution to and anticipation for the next-generation network, has brought about the need for the telco industry to undergo a transformation.
