Cisco SONFlex helps VodafoneZiggo ready for 5G with RAN automation

Via Cisco Newsroom Press Releases

Dec 3, 2018

MAASTRICHT, Netherlands – December 3, 2018 – Cisco today announced its plans to execute on a radio access network (RAN) automation strategy using the Cisco SON (self-organizing network) platform for VodafoneZiggo.

VodafoneZiggo is now deploying the new Cisco SONFlex Suite, building on its existing deployment of Cisco SON applications across its network to manage all RAN technologies including 2G, 3G, long-term evolution (LTE, or 4G) and ultimately 5G.

The move marks a new milestone in VodafoneZiggo’s automation strategy, as it shifts from traditional network-focused optimization solutions to an approach of customer-centric SON-based automation solutions. Using SONFlex APIs and infrastructure, it can take advantage of many more external data sources, and take its RAN automation to the next level to maximize network assets, decrease costs per bit and improve the overall customer experience with superior voice quality.

Cisco SONFlex Suite is enabling VodafoneZiggo to develop and deploy its own SON applications, independent from the core Cisco SON platform to improve operational practices and launch new services faster.

"VodafoneZiggo is the lead OpCo within the Vodafone Group for the rollout of Cisco SON," said Matthias Sauder, director, Mobile Networks, VodafoneZiggo. "With Cisco SONFlex, we are now in a position to manage increasing network complexity with 5G on the horizon, improve operational efficiency, and gain greater autonomy to develop a unique automation strategy."

"VodafoneZiggo is pioneering RAN automation as the first European service provider to simplify its network with Cisco SONFlex,” said Alon Peleg, general manager, Cisco SON. “Importantly, it is shifting from an ‘off-the-shelf-product’ approach and gaining full creativity and autonomy to develop its own customized apps for faster time to market.”

Cisco is leading the disruption in the industry with its technology innovations in routing, 5G, subscriber experience (mobile, cable, fixed), automation, optical and optics. Together with its portfolio of professional services, Cisco enables service providers, media and web companies to reduce cost and complexity, helps scale and secure their networks, and grow their revenue.
