Telecommunications is a key area of Canonical’s focus, and we are fully committed to providing a best-in-class experience of using open source software to enable mobile operators, network function developers and network equipment providers to scale and innovate efficiently. ## Hot Topics OpenRAN and CBRS is going to be the main story this year, and Ubuntu is a key component in such solutions with: * Real Time Kernel availability for workloads that require it like FEC * Ubuntu 22.04 support for Intel FlexRAN SDK * Ubuntu as an OS behind NVIDIA Aerial * MAAS to set-up and operate distributed compute pools * Kubernetes distributions – MicroK8s and Charmed Kuberenetess tuned for telco workloads The next big focus-area is hybrid-cloud multi-cloud setups. With Canonical providing automation you can build and manage complex software across multiple substrates. Deploy network functions and get the same automation, observability and security on: * Bare metal with MAAS * Machine containers with LXD * Up-stream Kubernetes with MicroK8s and CharmedK8s * AWS, Azure and GCP and their respective CaaS platforms Scale and complexity brings similar challenges, big or small. Hybrid cloud, public cloud, on-prem, whether you have a large datacenter alone or a highly distributed infrastructure; open source technology building blocks provide a unified approach to enabling service providers to meet any current or future use-cases, from OpenRAN, next generation Core (5G and beyond) or AI at the edge. ## Join us and meet: Arno Van Huyssteen, CTO – Global Service Provider at Canonical Maciej Mazur, Product Strategy Manager for Telecommunication [Book a meeting with us](https://calendly.com/shereen-amayem/mwc-las-vegas-canonical?month=2022-09) [Get in touch Interested in running Ubuntu in your organization?](https://ubuntu.com/about/contact-us/form) ## Sign up for our newsletter Get the latest Canonical news and updates in your inbox.
