Telco Cloud 5G and 6G Edge Open Ecosystem RAN

5-Minute Monthly Update on all things VMware for Service Providers: April Spellicy Spillover

The second quarter in the telco industry is typically go-time. Without the distraction of significant holidays and many of the major trade-shows behind us, this is our time to accelerate projects. That being said, I, like you I presume, find myself approaching this season of speed with a renewed sense of appreciation. Appreciation for the diligence and dedication of my teams, partners and customers from around the world. We have an important role on this planet to facilitate communications across boundaries. I must start this month’s update by thanking you. Thank you for joining me in this cause to help make sure this world is unified by a similar mission – to thrive.


With that important message being shared, let’s move onto the fun stuff – an entire month of updates in under 5 minutes. We have a team of thousands of telco and cloud experts around the world working to help your digital transformations. It can be hard to stay informed with all the updates a team of this significance has. That’s our goal here – to make it easier for you to find all the updates relevant to your network transformation in one place.  Please watch the 5 minute video below and follow coordinated links inline.

As always, we are moving at the speed of software over here. Be sure to reach out if you have questions about how VMware can support your digital transformation.
