Customer description below:

Project Scope

Our Network Cloud & Infrastructure (NC&I) group is readying support to launch the roll-out of 5G Services. These services will be deployed in each of the existing 12 National Data Centers (NDCs). The following services will be provided in support of this launch:

Engineering support

This effort is for the support of Core network (DST, DMZ, SLB, CORE) and services LTE & 5G. This includes an end-to-end process consisting of the design and implementation of call flows in each NDC, as well as integration testing and documentation.

Call Flows

• IP/Service Call flows
• Develop new end-to-end call flows for Services in three 12 datacenters and in the Cloud Network (D2)
• Update/develop call flows for services with the new 5G element details in Existing data centers Requirements:
• End-to-end call flows will be based on initial templates
• Services include external content partner services as well as Our hosted services
• Call flows are required per NDC/APN/Service/Function. (12 NDCs* approximately)
