Antel tests VMware Telco Cloud Platform for its 5G architecture
Antel , a leading mobile operator in Uruguay , is working with
VMware on a VMware Telco Cloud Platform use test to support a Proof of Concept ( PoC ).
With the emergence of 5G , communications service providers can develop new business models and engage with a larger
ecosystem of partners to deliver new and disruptive services . This transformation requires a virtualized and containerized Telco Cloud architecture to modernize legacy networks . So the VMware horizontal multicloud platform is being used for 5G network deployments in South America , helping Antel in operational efficiency , services and innovation to market .
The integrated platform will allow new network functions on the same Telco Cloud architecture from core to RAN to edge , enabling the scale and agility needed to deliver services on the 5G network .
The PoC started with the help of AT Innovando Juntos , a local partner , and it aims to help Antel to build a world-class 5G network to support the growing demand in Uruguay . It is also a milestone to create a commercial 5G SA network .
Sanjay Uppal , Senior VP and General Manager at Service Provider and Edge , VMware , said : “ To improve 5G networks , VMware offers a single platform to modernize network infrastructure efficiently and cost-effectively . We look forward to helping successfully trial the VMware Telco Cloud Platform .”
Brazilian digital bank sees ChatGPT as an ally in the four-day week
Efi , one of the major Brazilian fintechs , has started to use ChatGPT to optimize processes and has identified a reduction of up to 40 % in time spent on activities .
Efi CRM Manager , Alexandre Santana , argues ChatGPT will not replace professionals , but make processes more fluid and reduce manual errors .
“ In our tests , using AI intelligently has enabled tasks to be done in minutes that would otherwise take hours . I have no doubt that the ability to use these tools will be a requirement , especially as this technology evolves ,” he said .
Since implementing a four day week for its almost 400 employees to provide a better work-life balance , Efi has started to place even more value on streamlining tasks .
Using ChatGPT to generate code and routine jobs , such as writing emails , complements other initiatives such as reducing meetings to make daily life more strategic .
But the company ’ s software engineer Leony Assis warns care needs to be taken with the codes generated .
He said : “ It is important to review the codes to ensure 100 % effectiveness . Therefore , the objective of the software being developed as well as the technologies involved must be fully understood .”
Efi concluded that AI could even be used to generate ideas from user feedback , providing a better understanding of what they need and identifying the best components and structures during the systems architecture phase .
