About

Laurent Roullet is a leading researcher at the intersection of telecommunications and cloud computing, with a primary focus on next-generation network architectures, cloud-native service deployment, and the evolution of 5G infrastructure. His most-cited work, "The Next Generation Platform as a Service Cloudifying Service Deployments in Telco-Operators Infrastructure" (2018, 13 citations), addresses a pivotal moment in telecom history when the emergence of the 5G standard coincided with the deep transformation of industries by cloud technologies. Roullet’s major contribution lies in articulating how 5G must evolve into a ubiquitous, cloud-native fabric that seamlessly blends universal connectivity for humans and machines, enabling operators to virtualize and orchestrate services at scale. His research demonstrates that for 5G to succeed, innovations must be born cloud-native, fundamentally reshaping how telco operators deploy and manage network functions. This work has influenced the integration of platform-as-a-service models into telecom infrastructure, bridging the gap between traditional networking and modern cloud ecosystems. Roullet’s insights are essential for students and researchers exploring the convergence of 5G, edge computing, and software-defined networks, offering a roadmap for the next wave of intelligent, automated service delivery.
