“Dell is promoting the opening of the telecommunications market, we want interoperability so that each of our customers can integrate platforms, applications, in any virtualization or cloud layer, using open hardware, which allows them to reduce TCO ( N.de R: total cost of ownership, for its acronym in English), which they so dramatically need and drive the development of new services”, said Leon Taiman, Senior Partner Business and Digital Transformation , Dell Technologies, in an exclusive dialogue with TeleSemana. com, within the framework of the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2023).
For this executive, the technological cycles are a pendulum and the operators have vertical silos with idle CAPEx capacity, which they can take advantage of; and that they could become more horizontal by leading to an open ecosystem; and it’s the bet that drives Dell forward.
The cultural and technological question, the paradigm changes in the processes and in the times of innovation, the challenge of operating costs; but also Open RAN, its virtues, its difficulties and the tools that facilitate it were topics addressed in this interview in which the innovation cycles to which operators were traditionally accustomed were questioned.
