Vodafone could introduce 'holographic calls' with new 5G tech

Vodafone UK has chosen technology from Oracle Communications help lead network policy for its standalone 5G network.

Oracle said that its cloud-native network policy management technology could give Vodafone customers access to holographic calls and 5G game streaming “without lag time”, as well as film downloads 4x faster than 4G networks.

“Moving to ‘cloud native’ is a culture shift as much as it is a technology shift for a techcomms company like Vodafone,” said Andrea Dona, chief network officer, Vodafone UK. “Our partners must demonstrate flexibility and agility, as well as aligning to our vision of how technology will augment and support tomorrow’s digital society.”

Andrew Morawski, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Communications, Networks, said: “5G undoubtedly opens the door for endless new ways to engage with our world, but intelligent policy management is the entryway to capitalise on these opportunities,” s. “Our 5G and cloud capabilities are helping Vodafone to build a future-proof network that is automated, easier to scale, simpler to operate, and more cost-effective.”
