ONAP checks into Dublin with fourth software release

LF Networking's Open Networking Automation Platform (ONAP) announced the availability of its fourth software release, which is called Dublin.

The Dublin release includes updates to existing blueprints, such as 5G, virtual customer premise equipment (vCPE) and voice over LTE (VoLTE), as well as a new broadband blueprint that is being led by Swisscom.

The Linux Foundation's Arpit Joshipura, general manager of networking, orchestration, edge, and IoT, said since the Casablanca software release came out in December, ONAP has continued to gain traction with commercial deployments by service providers such as AT&T, Bell Canada and Orange, as well as new proof-of-concept trials and tests by China Mobile, China Telecom, Deutsche Telekom, KT, Reliance Jio, Turk Telecom, Bringcom, Swisscom, Telstra, and TIM that could lead to additional production deployments by the end of 2019.

In addition, new demos and support services were made available by Accenture, Ampere, Arris, Ciena, iconectiv, Netsia, Ribbon, Rift, Pantheon, Wipro, Ericsson, Nokia, and Tech Mahindra.
