Did you hear real-time Ubuntu is now generally available?
Open source for telecoms
Carrier-grade solutions
Scale and complexity brings similar challenges, big or small. Hybrid cloud, public cloud, on-prem only large datacenter or highly distributed infrastructure - Canonical Open Source technology building blocks provide a unified approach to enabling Service Providers to meet any current or future use-cases, from OpenRAN, next generation Core (5G and beyond) or AI at the edge.
Trusted by leading service providers, globally
Infrastructure for CNF
Cloud-native network functions
Orchestrate your CNFs with Charmed Kubernetes on OpenStack, VMware, and bare metal.
We work with network function vendors to optimise Kubernetes and Ubuntu for telco specific workloads.
Infrastructure for NFV
OpenStack engineered for best price-performance
Designed to be economical in every way.
Smart operations, optimal architecture, better pricing.
All of this to ensure TCO reduction of your cloud, while expanding your budget for innovation.
Open source software in telco
With components like OpenRAN, Magma Core, Kamailio and others, you can build a fully functional open telecom network.
Canonical removes friction and complexity of the software lifecycle, with model-driven operations based on Juju Charms.
We stand behind these projects and provide up to 10 years of ESM support to infrastructure and open source software running on it.
Micro clouds
The operations-friendly way to setup MEC sites
A modular stack built on datacenter primitives for resilience, scalability and autonomy.
Bare metal provisioning of any OS image and on-demand change site configuration with MAAS.
Lightweight virtual machines with bare-metal performance, negligible latency and increased security with LXD.
Low-ops, minimal production Kubernetes for workstations, clouds edge and IoT with MicroK8s.
VNF onboarding, day 1 and day 2 operations with ETSI OSM
Accelerate your migration to NFV with Open Source MANO
OSM assists with network functions onboarding and orchestration in physical, virtual, containerised and hybrid environments, as required in modern telco networks.
Full stack, one price
Security, support and managed open source for enterprises with Ubuntu Advantage
Ubuntu Advantage is a single, per-node package of the most comprehensive enterprise security and support for open source infrastructure and applications, with managed service offerings available.
