Anritsu Secures Two Contracts with Tier-1 Operators for 5G SA Service Assurance

Copenhagen, Denmark – June 30, 2021 – Anritsu Corporation is pleased to announce it has won contracts for Service Assurance on 5G SA (standalone) networks from two Tier-1 operators. These world-renowned CSPs are leading the market on vision and execution, aiming to be the first to offer their subscribers and business customers a fully-cloudified 5G SA experience.

“As we increasingly use public, private, and hybrid clouds, Anritsu is delighted to be working with operators on 5G SA to ensure their subscribers can enjoy the most advanced services backed by the next generation of automated assurance capabilities. These votes of confidence from Tier-1 CSPs is an appreciation of years of strategic investment in virtualization and 5G capabilities and a company-wide digital transformation,” said Ralf Iding, CEO of Anritsu Service Assurance.

“Key to securing the Tier-1 wins is our market-leading AI anomaly detection solution, which detects issues on 5G SA networks in real-time, understands why they happen, and uses smart next best actions to close the loop in 5G SA networks,” said Nicolas Timothee, Director of Business Strategy. “With the escalating complexity and dynamic nature of 5G SA networks, CSPs need automated real-time solutions for faster detection and resolution of faults. Our solutions meet this need for speed of action and combined with our performance analytics, troubleshooting and drill-down abilities, as well as our customer experience solutions, we provide the service assurance that CSPs demand.”

The wins reflect the market’s trust in Anritsu, which prides itself on the long-term partnerships developed with customers. Many of Anritsu’s valued customers have worked with the company since the days of 2G and continue to place their trust in us as the industry moves towards a future based on cloudified networks and automated assurance. The wins represent an expansion with a current customer and one with a new customer working on private cloud and public cloud deployments.

Anritsu looks forward to working with its current customers, new customers, and partners to expand the Service Assurance possibilities of 5G SA, cloudification, and digital transformation.
