• An open abstraction layer to reduce

vendor lock-in and automate service

delivery across multiple domains

• Infrastructure-agnostic: any physical,

virtual, vendor and/or technology domain

• Traditional WAN, SD-WAN, NFV, Cloud,

CORD, and more

• DevOps-style integration and on-boarding

of VNFs, PNFs, and domain controllers

• Modular, extensible platform provides

unmatched end-to-end control and

programmability

Key Takeaways for Densification What we’ve learned so far:

multi vendor.

multi domain.

dynamic.

sliced

Each of the real world use cases so far tackles an area or a

couple of areas that will be important to the small cell

densification arena. The small cell environment though is

going to be a combination of each of these at the same time

Multi-vendor transport, Dynamic Analytics & health check, VNF

onboarding, service instantiation, slice control and lifecycle

management.

Because the environment is Multi Vendor, Multi Domain,

dynamic and sliced, successful orchestration of services,

applications and technologies is required to address each of

these areas.

Successful Orchestration
