SAN JOSE, Calif., - October 29, 2014 - Cisco today announced that NAKA Mobile, a global mobile telecommunication and technology company based in Switzerland, has selected the Cisco Virtualized Packet Core (vPC) to transform its network architecture. With the resulting agility and elasticity, NAKA Mobile plans to expand its network beyond Switzerland and provide customers with advanced mobile Internet services around the world.
As a specialist mobile operator, NAKA Mobile has advantages over its bigger, traditional competitors in the area of vertical market understanding and faster time-to-market. Cisco vPC multiplies that time-to-market and service agility advantage. NAKA Mobile tested the Cisco Virtualized Packet Core in their labs and chose the platform to increase network flexibility. This helps enable the mobile operator to implement scalable services within days and weeks, while also reducing their total cost of ownership.
NAKA Mobile is a privately held company with a long-established and renowned enterprise as its majority stakeholder and with strategic focus on electric power plants. NAKA Mobile offers its high-tech communication solution to global mobile network operators (MNOs), mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) and distribution partners.
Key Facts/Highlights
NAKA is the first mobile operator to formally announce that they have installed and launched services on a Cisco Virtualized Packet Core.
With this deployment, NAKA Mobile enhances its network speed and connectivity and offers innovative services that transform the user experience and provide further opportunity to scale and monetize its mobile Internet network.
