Deutsche Telekom is introducing a cost-efficient, easy-to-operate and scalable platform. The Access 4.0 platform takes over many classic operations support systems functions thanks to software-defined networking. The separation of hardware and software is the key to more scalability, flexibility and cost efficiency in the control, management and operation of networks. With this concept, automation is driven forward, even lean processes can be implemented easily. It is more flexible and open than traditional systems. It guarantees a shortened roll-out of services such as broadband Internet and 5G to customers.
