Telco NFV Deployment Timeline

Source: Infonetics July 2015

PoCs (Proof-of-Concept testing)

Operators, vendors learn in the lab

Few field trials

Field trials Vendors productize SDN and NFV software in operator lab trials

A few more field trials

~10 commercial deployments

2013 2014 2015 2016–2020

Wider-spread commercial deployments Operators deploy several SDN and NFV use cases, then more each year

Commercial deployments ~15–20 more commercial deployments

Many operators deploy 1 or 2 use cases (contained domains)
