The document discusses the development of an open network automation platform initiative led by China Mobile, which emphasizes innovation, collaboration, and new network architectures using technologies like NFV and SDN. It highlights the creation of ONAP, an open-source project aimed at improving network operations and service delivery through automation and intelligent management tools. The initiative seeks to foster a healthy ecosystem and encourages participation from multiple partners to promote industrial innovation and transformation.

4. NovoNet Architecture
• Replacing past Central Offices with new cloudified DataCenter -TIC
• Separating C/U plane, centralized control unit in core TICs, off-loading data traffic at
edge of network
• Building up powerful controller to achieve intelligent routing and automatic
configuration

8. We are hoping that all partners work together to build the healthy
ecosystem and accelerate the maturity of SDN and NFV.
We are expecting that ONAP and other open source projects and SDOs
strengthen corporation to promote industrial innovation and transformation.
We are waiting for more participants to join this project and promote ONAP
to be a successful open source community.

9. Thank
you!
