In this interview, Jean Lawrence spoke with Franz Seiser about Deutsche Telekom’s Horizontal TelCo Cloud (HTC).
The Horizontal TelCo Cloud represents a shift to a disaggregated, horizontal cloud platform for fixed and mobile core networks. The discussion explored the move from vertical network silos to a shared cloud infrastructure and unified automation layer, as well as the technical and organisational changes required to support cloud-native network functions and intent-based automation.
Built in collaboration with Nokia, this approach replaces vertical silos with a shared cloud and automation layer designed for agility, scalability and resilience. The discussion explored what it takes to make that shift real.
