Nearby Computing and Celfocus Join Hands to Spearhead Next-Gen 5G Deployments

Barcelona, Spain, May 2024: Nearby Computing, an innovator in edge automation platforms, and Celfocus, a leading provider of technology solutions, have united to introduce a groundbreaking approach to 5G deployment. Their partnership introduces a transformative solution that reshapes the 5G landscape, offering the unparalleled advantages of implementing Alepo’s cutting-edge 5G solutions.

Celfocus and Nearby Computing’s collaborative solution heralds a new era in 5G deployment. With unprecedented speed, efficiency, comprehensive support, end-to-end automation excellence, tailored solutions and global accessibility, this partnership empowers telecom operators to deploy 5G networks rapidly, seamlessly and with precision to address the unique requirements of modern connectivity. This joint endeavour focuses on modernising the underlying tech stack and offers a NaaS (Network as a Service) use case via Intent-driven Orchestration (IDO).

As projected by Gartner, by 2025, 70% of CSPs will adopt optimisation tools and practices to reduce cloud operations costs, a significant increase from 5% in 2022.

A cloud-native 5G Core, coupled with Alepo’s Subscriber Data Management (SDM) and converged policy control, offers an industry-leading low resource footprint, minimising initial investment and enabling service providers and private enterprises to deploy 5G networks more rapidly and cost-effectively.

“We are excited to collaborate with Celfocus to streamline and expedite the deployment of 5G solutions. Our edge automation platform, NearbyOne, significantly enhances the deployment process, enabling operators to unlock the full potential of 5G technology.”

Josep Martí, CEO of Nearby Computing

This collaborative solution expedites 5G deployment, enabling operators to swiftly meet market demands and maintain a competitive edge. Moreover, Nearby Computing’s edge automation platform establishes a new benchmark for deployment efficiency, reducing manual intervention and ensuring error-free implementations.

“Our partnership with Nearby Computing underscores our dedication to empowering telecom operators with the latest 5G solutions. By combining our global reach and expertise with Nearby Computing’s automation prowess, we provide operators with the necessary tools to thrive in the 5G era.”

Marco Ungari, Operations Intelligence Director, Celfocus

As the demand for private networks grows (according to Analysys Mason, spending on private networks is projected to reach USD 7.7 billion in 2027), managing and automating the diverse infrastructures, network functions and applications necessitates specific tools. A robust and user-friendly private cloud-native core must be paired with a flexible and scalable solution capable of orchestrating everything from a single site to a widely distributed network, ideally through a unified interface.
