As a world leader in communication services and the largest telco in the UK, BT Group stands at the forefront of the country’s march towards ubiquitous 5G coverage. To deliver this new generation of mobile network, the company needed a new kind of infrastructure that could support 5G’s distributed architecture and enable network function virtualisation.
Looking for the best balance of cost, support and control, BT Group decided to build its new mobile network using Canonical’s open source infrastructure solutions. With a network based on Canonical OpenStack, BT Group has now successfully rolled out 5G access to over 75% of the UK population, as well as recently winning the UK’s Best Mobile Network for the 21st consecutive time based on independent testing from RootMetrics – a time period spanning more than ten years.
In the last year, we’ve moved the entire mobile base for EE onto this infrastructure. So if you’re on EE, you’re on Canonical.
