Amazon, Telefonica's Bold Venture To Transform Telecommunications - What's On The Cards?
Telefonica S.A. (NYSE:TEF) announced that O2 Telefónica launched a new 5G core network built entirely in the cloud, using technologies from European network equipment provider Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) and from Amazon.com Inc's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Amazon Web Services (AWS).
西班牙電信股份有限公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：TEF）宣佈，O2 Telefoínica使用歐洲網絡設備提供商諾基亞公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：NOK）和亞馬遜公司（納斯達克股票代碼：AMZN）的亞馬遜網絡服務（AWS）的技術，推出了一個完全在雲端構建的新5G核心網絡。
The 5G Cloud Core will be designed for a capacity of up to 1 million customers in the first phase.
在第一階段，5G雲核心的設計容量將高達100萬個客戶。
Selected O2 Telefónica customers will benefit from the advantages of the cloud, which include, among other things, higher availability and reliability as well as faster software updates.
部分O2 Telefo'nica客戶將受益於雲的優勢，其中包括更高的可用性和可靠性以及更快的軟件更新等。
O2 Telefónica is the first telecommunications provider with an existing network to operate its core network on AWS.
O2 Telefo'nica是第一家擁有現有網絡並在AWS上運營其核心網絡的電信提供商。
This initiative underscores Amazon's ambitious foray into global telecommunications, according to a report from Reuters.
據路透社報道，這一舉措凸顯了亞馬遜在全球電信領域的雄心勃勃的進軍。
While several telecom networks have migrated peripheral operations to public clouds, Telefonica's move sets a new precedent as the first existing mobile operator to transition its core network to a public cloud, signaling a shift in industry norms.
儘管一些電信網絡已將外圍業務遷移到公共雲，但西班牙電信的舉動開創了新的先例，成爲第一家將其核心網絡過渡到公共雲的現有移動運營商，這標誌着行業規範的轉變。
The report noted that major cloud-computing giants like Amazon and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) have long sought entry into the telecom sector, eyeing substantial revenue opportunities.
報告指出，亞馬遜和微軟公司（納斯達克股票代碼：MSFT）等主要雲計算巨頭長期以來一直在尋求進入電信行業，着眼於大量的收入機會。
However, skepticism among operators regarding the efficacy of public clouds in managing mobile networks has been a barrier.
但是，運營商對公共雲在管理移動網絡方面的功效持懷疑態度一直是一個障礙。

將核心網絡過渡到公共雲有望簡化運營、降低成本、增強可擴展性，並在不中斷服務的情況下促進無縫維修，從而提高效率和可靠性。
U.S.-based Dish notably adopted AWS cloud for its core network in 2021, a move facilitated by its greenfield approach, in contrast to existing operators with established systems, the report mentioned.
報告提到，與擁有成熟系統的現有運營商相比，總部位於美國的Dish在2021年將其核心網絡採用了AWS雲作爲其核心網絡，這一舉措得到了其綠地方法的推動。
