Client Background
Client: A leading communication service provider
Products/Services: Mobile, fixed, and broadband internet services
Area of operations: Asia and Africa
Employees: Over 15,000
Challenges
A secure and efficient network is crucial to boost performance and ensure mobility. However, with an increasing number of devices connecting to the internet, the client felt challenged in meeting the growing network demand and provide native IP security support. They needed to find a way to create efficient and secure packet processing and routing.
At the same time, the client also wanted to quickly develop enhanced visibility for data control teams and be compliant with critical regulatory mandates. Improving network for IPv6-only new-age IoT devices and expanding beyond expensive IPv4 network was also crucial to reduce cost and enhance the customer experience.
The client, therefore, was looking to implement and launch IPv6 support for the mobile network.
Solution
Wipro leveraged a dual-stack technology where IPv4 and IPv6 could co-exist during the initial phase deployment. The network was gradually transitioned to native IPv6 to enable a robust and secure IPv6 ready mobile network.
Key highlights of the implementation include:
Business Impact
