Aviz Unveils Advanced Mobile 5G Service Nodes

In a strategic enhancement of its packet broker offerings, Aviz Networks has announced the introduction of sophisticated service nodes designed specifically for applications and 5G GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) use cases, marking a significant advancement to drive the utilization of AI-driven insights within the telecom industry.

This initiative not only reaffirms Aviz's commitment to delivering versatile, open data and networking solutions, it also enriches the recently launched Aviz Network Copilot with deeper, more precise data analytics capabilities.

Global and regional telecom carriers seek to deliver more personalized 5G services for better user experiences and to introduce rich new mobile services. That’s why Aviz is integrating advanced service nodes into its comprehensive network visibility portfolio, while setting a new benchmark for telco 5G deployment support. Avizy allows for the most flexible deployments alongside the Aviz Open Packet Broker (OPB) or with any third-party packet broker system, emphasizing its adaptability and open design. These service nodes unlock valuable granular data on 5G and attendant applications, enabling both telecom and data center customers to harness AI with unprecedented efficiency.

Today, both carrier and data centers can deploy the Aviz Network Copilot driven AI systems or can choose to integrate with their own AI applications to harness the data generated by these service nodes. The result is a substantial enhancement in operational intelligence and increased network efficiency.

Vishal Shukla, CEO of Aviz Networks, highlights the significance of this launch, "Our expansion into advanced 5G service nodes is a natural next step in the evolution of the Aviz Networking 3.0 vision, leveraging a combination of open and adaptable solutions that are at the forefront of data-centric network management and AI integration. We empower our customers with the best tools for smarter, more efficient network operations, while setting a higher standard for the industry."
