The deployment supports Sunrise UPC’s existing networks and services and enables the operator to develop new IoT and 5G-era services, like network slicing.

The modular solution is designed to fit multi-vendor, multi-domain, and multi-technology environments, providing Sunrise UPC with a single-pane-of-glass for service design and deployment.
