BT Group has selected Oracle Communications’ Cloud Native Converged Policy Management to optimize its network resources and bring new 5G offerings to market faster.
Oracle’s solution will enable BT to quickly and seamlessly test and implement 5G services—such as live streaming and zero-rated 5G content—across its EE mobile network.
The policy design engine will enable BT to test and quickly implement new 5G service plans and experiences, such as live streaming and augmented reality (AR), reducing testing and implementation time to a matter of minutes, instead of months. Oracle’s policy management will also give BT the flexibility to optimize network and subscriber resources to launch 5G-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) service offerings to consumer and enterprise customers.
“BT Group, and EE in particular, have a long-standing, successful track record with Oracle,” said Howard Watson, Chief Technology Officer, BT. “As we move to this next evolution in networking, Oracle is helping us reduce complexity with solutions that ease the migration to 5G and provide the flexibility needed both to introduce innovative new services, and also ensure we’re offering our customers the right levels of service according to their needs. Working with Oracle further supports our ambitions towards delivering a mobile network that continues to exceed customer expectations.”
“Oracle Communications technology is helping forward-thinking operators such as BT, future-proof their 5G vision,” said Andrew Morawski, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Communications, Networks. “With a unified, future-ready policy management platform, BT can optimize network resources appropriately and bring new, innovative services and experiences to customers more quickly.”
