A10 Networks' 5G-GiLANTM Solution Selected by An Asian Tier-1 Mobile Service Provider to Scale and Secure its Next-Gen 5G-Ready Network Rollout
A10
Networks (NYSE: ATEN (News - Alert)), a provider of intelligent and automated
cybersecurity solutions, today announced an Asian Tier-1 mobile
service provider has selected the A10 5G-GiLANTM solution
for its next-gen 5G-ready network rollout. The service provider is
leveraging the Gi/SGi firewall and advanced network translation
components to provide the scale and security needed to meet the demands
of its 5G infrastructure rollout and IoT adoption.
As the service provider plans to rapidly commercialize 5G services
beginning early in 2019, they needed a consolidated security and
networking solution to seamlessly integrate with its vEPC platform. It
also required the solution to address rising IPv6 demands by supporting
IPv4 to IPv6 network interoperability in their network.
"We are pleased to have been selected by the Tier-1 provider in a highly
competitive bake-off. The fast-approaching rollout of 5G networks around
the world represents a dramatic transformation in mobile services,
including exciting new revenue opportunities for service providers,"
said Lee Chen, CEO of A10 Networks (News - Alert). "However, it will also elevate the
breadth and sophistication of IP-based threats facing carriers and their
customers. The A10 5G-GiLAN solution plays a major role in helping
service providers simplify, scale and secure their 5G deployments. We
are currently working with many Tier-1 providers who are seeking
next-generation security and networking solutions for 5G."

accelerate its 5G deployment with the following capabilities:
Comprehensive 5G mobile core protection with the A10 Thunder CFW GiLAN
consolidation of GiFW and CGNAT solution.
