Robin.io helped build Rakuten Mobile into the World’s first Cloud-native Mobile Operator • Towers – Local Data Centers (LDC/Far Edge) • Edge – Regional Data Centers (RDC/Near Edge) • Core – Network Data Centers (NDC/Cloud) • 30+% reduction in OpEx (orchestration) • 40+% reduction computing CapEx • 80% reduction in deployment time (automation) • Deployment of 5G O-RAN • Deployment of Core • Orchestrating over 20 applications • Deployment from 10 Hours to a few minutes FOR DISTRIBUION JUNE 19, 2020
12. FOR DISTRIBUION JUNE 19, 2020
13. robin.io Robin.io Confidential, Not for redistribution 1. Lower TCO for Next Gen 5G networks through Automation and Orchestration: › Up to 40% reduction in OpEx through orchestration and automation for RAN and Core › Up to 50% reduction in CapEx by enabling OpenRAN and Core on commercial hardware 2. Faster Time to Market: up to 80% reduction in MNO’s deployment time: from 10 days to minutes per site; proven in real-world Tier1 mobile networks 3. Enabler of Hardware / Software disaggregation, facilitating a multi-vendor ecosystem 4. Provides DevOps operational improvements for large scale wireless networks: automated upgrades of thousands of sites drastically reduces OpEx 5. Dramatically increases network-wide availability through real-time self-healing and multi-application placement (RAN and Core) ROBIN VALUE PROPOSITION FOR DISTRIBUION JUNE 19, 2020
