Google has partnered with Bharti Airtel and SK Telecom to build a platform for operators to run their network services. The company says its own SDN framework will enable networks to adapt to new services and traffic patterns.
Google will use this platform to build on its existing efforts to jointly experiment with mobile operators on richer APIs that will enable new operational models and help operators bring new features such as Smart Offline to people. The company said they are teaming up with mobile operators as they are designing their next-generation networks to cater the increasing accessing internet via mobile devices.
