What happened: Orange launches fully managed 5G core solution
Orange has announced the launch of its 5G Core Network as a Service (CNaaS), allowing mobile operators to deploy standalone 5G infrastructure without investing in core network hardware. The solution offers a fully hosted and managed platform, simplifying 5G network deployment.
This CNaaS model provides operators with scalable, cost-efficient network solutions. It includes built-in Orange services such as secure roaming, real-time signalling, and big data analytics for network optimisation. The solution integrates with Click, Orange’s digital services platform, enabling real-time network monitoring and management.
By virtualising network functions, Orange’s 5G CNaaS reduces carbon emissions linked to physical infrastructure and maintenance. The company’s broader strategy aims to drive network innovation while supporting sustainability goals.
