Alcatel-Lucent and Telefonica Sign Agreement to Drive NFV Adoption and Innovation
2/27/2014 - The Mobile World Congress this week saw many new innovations, including Sony's smartphone capable of capturing 4K video. While this is an impressive feat, wireless service providers around the world are probably cringing at the thought of millions of smartphones transmitting 4K video to each other on networks that are finding it hard to keep up with the amount of data being generated daily. The only way to handle this traffic is by making the infrastructure smart just like SDN. Alcatel-Lucent and Telefonica have signed an agreement to push the adoption and innovation of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) infrastructure by the telecommunications industry to ease some of the pressure currently taking place.
