Kyndryl has announced a global alliance and private 5G network service collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
Kyndryl, an IT infrastructure services provider, is working with Athonet, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, to jointly develop and deliver LTE and 5G private wireless services to customers worldwide.
Paul Savill, Global Network and Edge Computing Practice Leader at Kyndryl, said, “As a longstanding partner of HPE, we are thrilled to expand our relationship with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to a global strategic alliance. Adding the private LTE/5G service to our joint capabilities will enable to us to capture new markets and customers, doing what we do best together to help large, global enterprises modernize, innovate and secure their businesses.”
David Stark, VP & GM, Telco Solutions at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, said, “We are extremely excited to work with Kyndryl to deliver our private 5G solutions to large global enterprises. Kyndryl is ideally positioned to deliver the flexibility of Athonet’s open architecture solutions that can work with any radio and any edge-to-cloud environment to customers who need demanding and robust private 5G solutions rather than less flexible closed-box solutions.
“Kyndryl is also well equipped to bring our Wi-Fi and private 5G solutions together seamlessly to have a single fabric of wireless connectivity for digital and mission-critical communications across their entire operations that is already integrated into the existing IT infrastructure,” David added.
By combining private LTE/5G, powered by Athonet, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, and enterprise campus wired and WLAN (Wi-Fi 6) connectivity solutions from HPE Aruba Networking, Kyndryl will be able to provide enterprises with the ability to integrate private 5G and Wi-Fi networks. This technology combination will offer enterprise customers across sectors security-rich, expanded connectivity, business agility and enhanced overall experience.
