The 5G network infrastructure from the radio unit to the cloud is evolving to deliver higher bandwidths. This requires many more radio units of significantly greater complexity, presenting challenges in both traditional and disaggregated end-to-end wireless network deployments that can be addressed through acceleration solutions. In this webinar we will: Summarize the key points of […]

How open, disaggregated, software-defined access networks can be a game changer As data usage continues to explode with the number of connections growing each year and higher bandwidth demands, including from unforeseen events like the current pandemic, service providers are faced with the challenge of how to build networks that can scale and are future-proof […]

In a bid to create multi-gigabit-capable access networks, operators across the globe are looking to build converged data networks that are scalable, resilient and can support multiple use-cases for both wired and wireless connectivity. However, creating such a service-oriented-network requires detailing out several considerations, including required network characteristics, architecture considerations, overlaying technologies and desired service […]

Edge computing is becoming a critical part of the virtualized infrastructure for wireless and wireline communications, however it is not clear yet what software and hardware platforms will be most important for network operators and solution providers. Edge computing platforms will cover a wide range of server performance and may need to support extended temperature […]

The 5G RAN evolution changes the mobile fronthaul and backhaul network architecture to deliver ultra-high capacity, availability and coverage. As wireless and wireline carrier networks prepare for 5G supported networks, field network technicians and service administrators face new challenges in implementing and testing optical wireline equipment and fiber. From fiber testing and CPRI, to eCPRI, […]

5G is offering a step change in wireless application performance but requires significant investment in optical connectivity for both the radio access network and wireless core. 5G networks will deliver high bandwidth and low latency and are built on a virtualized infrastructure that enables network slicing. 5G will accelerate the deployment of new services for […]

The distribution of video games currently still depends on physical and downloadable models however, the gaming industry is set to follow the evolution of the music and movie industries and move to an unlimited streaming model. This development is still in its early stages and, enabled by technologies such as 5G, will create new revenue […]
