VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance Provides DISH Wireless with Detailed Network Insights and Automation
February 27 2024 - 1:01AM
Mobile World Congress 2024 — VMware, recently
acquired by Broadcom Inc., today announced that DISH Wireless has
deployed VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance across the Boost
Wireless Network in a pilot production environment to deliver
real-time network monitoring, assurance and automation, providing a
superior 5G network and subscriber experience.
“DISH Wireless runs its network traffic in a multi-vendor, cloud
native environment and has launched more than 20,000 5G sites to
date,” said Eben Albertyn, EVP and Chief Technology Officer, DISH
Wireless. “VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance provides visibility
and actionable insights to help manage and operate our network
effectively.”
DISH Wireless is in the initial stages of testing the VMware
Telco Cloud Service Assurance solution with the expectation of
gaining the following benefits:
- Pipeline Reporting – The DISH Wireless Network
Operations Center (NOC) deploys and configures cell sites while
relying on a real-time dashboard from VMware Telco Cloud Service
Assurance to monitor the status of deployments. This enables the
NOC team to take immediate action to troubleshoot any issue
allowing for deployments to continue without interruption.
- Cell Site Infrastructure Topology – DISH
Wireless’ NOC team uses a fully-automated discovery process with
multi-layer visibility of their RAN, including gNodeBs, Mavenir
virtualized RAN functions, Containers as a Service (CaaS), virtual
infrastructure management (VIM), and hosts along with their
interconnectivity.
- Multi-Site Monitoring – VMware Telco Cloud
Service Assurance remote data collector service allows DISH
Wireless NOC team to collect and analyze data from 20,000-plus cell
sites. Upon problem detection, the NOC team receives an alert from
VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance, allowing them to quickly take
corrective action assessing the assurance of the network as a
whole. To date, the NOC team has deployed domain managers for
multi-site monitoring across RAN sites over different regions.
- Automated Alarm Management of Mavenir Infrastructure
Health Events – To help the NOC team eliminate costly
manual upkeep of static rules, VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance
is equipped with AI/ML algorithms for rapid problem isolation,
automatic suppression of extraneous alarms, and automated rules
updates.
- Additionally, DISH Wireless is using VMware Telco Cloud Service
Assurance to gain visibility into cell site routers, in addition to
the virtualized RAN (vRAN) functions, to help isolate issues across
multi-domain, multi-vendor stack spanning the RAN, transport and
cloud infrastructure. The service provider is also testing VMware
Telco Cloud Service Assurance integration with ServiceNow for
opening service tickets.
“DISH Wireless has built and deployed the first of its kind Open
RAN 5G network offering more than 240 million Americans access to
the latest in connectivity technology,” said Padma Sudarsan, chief
of architecture, Telco, Software-Defined Edge Division, Broadcom.
“VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance plays an instrumental role in
enabling the Boost Wireless Network to holistically manage their
multi-vendor environments and help improve network operations and
efficiency.”
DISH Wireless is an indirect subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation
(NASDAQ: SATS).
