Nex-G Innovations

A programmable and virtualized network allows to handle the complexity of network management and orchestration. NFV’s purpose is to transform the way networks are built and services are delivered. Network functions virtualization (NFV) refers to the replacement of network functions on dedicated appliances—such as routers, load balancers, and firewalls—with virtualized instances running as software on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. In 5G, NFV will also enable the distributed cloud, helping to create flexible and programmable networks for the needs of tomorrow.
