Partnership provides disaggregated networking solutions to help operators roll out 5G networks and services

IP Infusion, a leading provider of network disaggregation solutions for telecom and data communications operators, today announced a partnership with Net Plan IT, a provider of mobile and Internet telecommunications solutions, based in Portugal, to deliver best-of-breed disaggregated networking platforms to Internet Service Providers in preparation for 5G services.
