Case Study: UScellular achieves scalable 5G security with Palo Alto Networks firewalls and Panorama

UScellular secures 1.2 Tbps+ of 5G traffic with Palo Alto Networks

UScellular, the fourth largest wireless carrier in the U.S., faced challenges securing its expanding 5G and LTE networks against increased threats while needing to support massive traffic growth and ensure high availability. To modernize its security infrastructure, UScellular partnered with Palo Alto Networks, selecting their PA-7080 Next-Generation Hardware Firewalls and Panorama management platform.

The solution from Palo Alto Networks involved deploying high-throughput PA-7080 firewalls across four key locations, managed centrally with Panorama. This provided scalable security capable of handling over 1.2 Tbps of traffic. The implementation resulted in increased threat prevention, streamlined operations, and a resilient platform built for future growth, successfully meeting UScellular's need for reliable performance and robust customer data protection.
