AWS uses its cloud experience to help telcos transform

In this video recorded at TM Forum’s Digital Transformation World Series event, TM Forum Chief Analyst Mark Newman talks with Adolfo Hernandez, Vice President – Global Telco Business Unit at Amazon Web Services (AWS), about the company’s recent partnerships with communications service providers including DISH Network, Swisscom and Verizon. In the case of DISH, AWS is helping the TV and satellite operator build a greenfield, cloud native 5G network.

“What this is going to bring to DISH besides accelerating time to market is a significant reduction in TCO [total cost of ownership] because we’re not building a hardware-intensive network.”
