Ericsson on Tuesday announced a collaboration with network performance app developer Netscout and Swiss telco Swisscom, to produce a new cloud-based solution aimed at “dramatically increasing” 5G service assurance, analytics and cybersecurity. The solution offers Communication Service Providers (CSPs) with automatic access to packet data, as well as the ability to analyze raw packet data in the cloud. Ericsson claims the cloud-based packet data processing solution as the first such offering in the world.
