Rakuten Mobile Advances Its Network for 5G & IoT Services w/Cisco
25/06/2021
Rakuten Mobile using Segment Routing over IPv6 and Cisco Routed Optical Networking to simplify its network architecture and lower costs.
The synergy of SRv6 and Cisco Routed Optical Networking will provide Rakuten Mobile with unmatched operational flexibility, network simplicity, speed-to-market and a path to profitability.
Cisco Customer Experience (CX) will manage the architecture design for the network enhancements to help Rakuten Mobile speed time to market with new services and applications.
TOKYO, JAPAN, June 25, 2021 - Cisco and Rakuten Mobile, Inc. today announced a major milestone for Rakuten Mobile's network infrastructure in support of efforts to build a better, more inclusive internet for the future.
Rakuten Mobile operates the world first's fully cloud-native mobile network. It launched 4G service in Japan in April 2020, and launched 5G non-standalone (NSA) services in September 2020 in record time. With four million subscribers today, Rakuten Mobile continues to advance and scale its network to support new demands driven by the growth of remote and mobile workers.
With the implementation of Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) and Cisco Routed Optical Networking, Rakuten Mobile plans to expand its capabilities to support enterprise customers with 5G and IoT services. To support its future 5G SA services with network slicing capabilities, Rakuten Mobile will introduce SRv6 micro-segments, an extension to the SRv6 network programming model that is key to addressing multi-domain 5G deployments across its network. Cisco Customer Experience (CX) will plan and implement the overall architecture and design.
Transitioning to SRv6 will help Rakuten Mobile increase network resiliency and support a wider range of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that are foundational for upcoming 5G and IoT services. With Cisco Routed Optical Networking, Rakuten Mobile can consolidate coherent pluggable optics into a router, making the entire network more automated to deploy services faster (from 100 days down to 40), reduce power consumption by nearly 30 percent, and increase profitability through high-quality services at a competitive price.
Reimagining mobile networking is at the very heart of Rakuten Mobile's strategy, and our decision to go full-speed ahead on SRv6 and Cisco Routed Optical Networking demonstrates our effort to take advantage of technology innovation at every layer of the stack, said Tareq Amin, Chief Technology Officer, Rakuten Mobile. We knew that Cisco would walk in lock-step with us as we worked through each phase needed to implement this new technology and align it to our business goals.
Cisco and Rakuten Mobile are on a path to profoundly change the way network infrastructure is built, in order to connect as many people as possible to quality internet services, said Jonathan Davidson, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Mass-Scale Infrastructure Group, Cisco. Rakuten Mobile continues to mark important milestones to take its network to the next-level, and together we are showcasing the blueprint for the internet for the future to support our world of wireless and cloud-powered experiences.
