On this episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast - Interview Series I am joined by Cristina Rodriguez, Vice President for the Data Center Group and General Manager of the Wireless Access Network Division for Intel. Cristina is part of the global organization that is driving change through 5G network build-out, edge computing, improving AI, and improving radio access networks. It’s an exciting space to be in right now as the demand for faster networks and easier access to data increases across enterprise organizations.

Our conversation covered several aspects of network transformation including a broad overview of digital connectivity and networking. We also explored how Intel has focused on the transformation of the network and the importance of that role this year. 2020, while crazy in a lot of aspects, really created new opportunities for the growth of 5G and network transformation.

The Transformation of Network Infrastructure

My conversation with Cristina also revolved around the following:

● How virtualization and transformation of the network will enable opportunities in the future.
● The role Intel has played in transforming the network architecture from core to edge to access. Specifically the few things the company has focused on in the last few years to deliver this transformation to customers.
● An exploration of the partnerships Intel has made to achieve the core to edge network transformation.
● Intel’s thinking around RAN transformation and what they anticipate for 2021.
● A brief overview of Intel’s partnerships with Amdocs, Verizon and VMware.

Where We Go From Here

2020 proved that we need faster connectivity speeds which means we need better networks and stronger infrastructure. Intel realizes this and is partnering with various organizations to build and deliver the solutions that we need.

These changes will impact all of us in the coming years. If you are involved in network transformation in your organization make sure to put this on your ‘must listen’ list.
