No. 2 telco Optus is hooking up with Connectum to test cloud technology to deliver more network “core capacity”, Optus’ MD of Networks, Guenther Ottendorfer, revealed to media yesterday.
The telco is to engage in testing on the cloud technology which would help Optus increase its network capacity at major events like New Years, the Melbourne Cup or the AFL Grand Final, Ottendorfer said.
California-based Connectum helps carriers connect mobile devices via an elastic cloud infrastructure.
