ETSI is proud to bring you an interactive virtual event on the topic of NFV Evolution, produced in partnership with TelecomTV.

Join this Special Report on NFV Evolution, in virtual format from the comfort of your home or office, broadcasting live on 21 April 2021, from 3 to 5pm CEST.

Established in 2013, the ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) on Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV), has generated over 100 publications and has positioned itself as the standard for deploying and managing virtualised network functions, that have become essential for implementing 5G networks.

ETSI’s innovative NFV roadmap further evolved with the recent advances in network automation, edge-computing and cloud-native software architectures, creating new perspectives in the industry for NFV technology. As ETSI’s ISG is about to shape its 5th specification release, this Special Report on NFV Evolution provides you with an opportunity to engage with industry stakeholders and obtain insights into their implementation experience on ETSI NFV standards. The technical presentations and interactive panel discussions will give you an understanding of how emerging use cases and technology advances are likely to impact the evolution of NFV standardization.

The event programme features original presentations selected from the responses received to an open call, addressing deployment experience, new use cases and technical requirements. They confirm the industry objective of making networks increasingly autonomous and extending network resources to the edge. The programme will also feature presentations from or related-to four open source communities (Anuket, CNCF, ONAP and OSM) involved in the NFV landscape.

From 19 April, 48 hours in advance of the live event, on-demand videos of these technical presentations will be available online; you are invited to leave comments and raise questions on these.

The interactive live programme will take place on 21 April (3-5pm CEST) and feature two panel discussions where distinguished experts will follow-up on the presentations, share their viewpoints and engage with you.

Technical presentations - Open source community updates - Panel discussions + live Q&A session!

China Ningbo 5G/MEC Smart Port:

The Ningbo Zhoushan Port is one of the main hub port in China with an annual throughput of over 1.1 billion tons, and faces the challenges of efficiency of shipping, high cargo handling costs and security during its development. Huawei, China Mobile Zhejiang and other partners cooperate together to launch 5G/MEC-powered smart port applications, such as 5G Smart Tallying, 5G Remote Control of RTG Crane, 5G Unmanned Container Truck, promote the formulation and revision of enterprise standards and industry standards related to 5G port application scenarios, and realize the digital transformation of port automation and intelligence based on 5G.

Upgrading 5G core network with Huawei micro-service A/B test:

There are a few concerns for operators to tap into the 5G B-to-B market: the ever-changing enterprise requirements, shortening Time-To-Market for new services, and supporting continuous upgrade. Different from the conventional way of upgrading 5G core networks, Huawei proposes an innovative micro-service A/B testing solution to overcome those challenges, supporting micro-service level isolated upgrades and tenant management.
