The Core Network Innovation Centre (CIC) in Milan is equipped with the latest Huawei mobile and core network equipment and technologies to boost innovation in core network solutions. The collaborative research will aim to give both Vodafone and Huawei a competitive edge in core network areas, such as Mobile Broadband, IMS (IP Multimedia Sub-system) and FMC (Fixed Mobile Convergence), eventually bringing new ideas to fruition, enabling timely market launches.
The CIC represents Huawei's primary investment in core network technologies in Europe, with the project underscoring the company's close collaboration with the operator community.
Livio Borgogno, director of Vodafone's global core network competence centre, and Cai Liqun, president of Huawei's core network product line, today inaugurated the Core Network Innovation Centre in Milan.
