Transatel, an NTT company and global pioneer in cellular IoT connectivity, has selected Oracle Communications’ cloud native 5G signalling core to advance its next-generation connectivity services. Using its partnerships with over 300 international mobile carriers, Transatel plans to implement key components of Oracle’s 5G Standalone (SA) core, enhancing secure, scalable and reliable connectivity for millions of IoT devices. This includes mission-critical applications for connected vehicles, in-flight connectivity, industrial automation and much more.
“As IoT adoption accelerates across the automotive and industrial sectors, our customers expect secure, high-performing connectivity across the globe and beyond borders. After a review, it was clear Oracle was the right partner to power the next phase of our 5G connectivity. Oracle Communications’ 5G signalling core gives us the needed scalability, security and flexibility to deliver on today’s requirements while having the foundation to deliver on the next generation of connected services to come,” said Jacques Bonifay, the CEO at Transatel.
As the telecommunications landscape rapidly evolves, Transatel needed to advance and scale its network to 5G Standalone infrastructure to meet the growing demand for connected devices. The IoT connectivity solutions provider sought a solution that would prioritise the security and reliability of its connectivity for devices roaming across global networks.
Oracle’s cloud native 5G signalling core integrates with Transatel’s existing 3G/4G signalling systems. This advanced network architecture enables Transatel to scale and meet growing device connectivity demands, support security during roaming, and deliver the high-performance, real-time experiences required by next-generation, industry-centric applications.
“As a pioneer in global IoT and automotive connectivity advancements, Transatel’s transition to 5G Standalone will not only drive innovation, but also create new opportunities for its customers. With our cloud native 5G signalling core, Transatel can continue to scale and secure high-performance services for millions of connected devices everywhere around the world,” said Andrew Morawski, the executive vice president and general manager at Oracle Regulated Industries.
With Oracle Communications’ cloud native 5G signalling portfolio, including the Service Communication Proxy (SCP), Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP), Network Repository Function (NRF), Transatel can:
- Scale its network to address current and future demand as large fleets of connected vehicles are migrated to 5G.
- Launch new 5G services by enriching its network with 5G SA roaming to better support real-time applications.
- Enhance security and control with centralised routing, resiliency and security to protect its 5G core network and deliver services securely and with cost efficiency to end customers.
- Prepare operations for the future with a fully interoperable, cloud native platform that allows for the continuous management of both 4G and 5G services.
