As AI workloads move closer to the data source, organizations are hitting a “complexity wall.” Traditional edge deployments often rely on disparate hardware stacks, creating massive networking bottlenecks and skyrocketing operational costs. To truly scale, the edge requires a shift from rigid hardware to a fluid, Software-Defined Architecture. Join this webinar for an in-depth technical session […]
Heavy Reading: Coherent Pluggable Optics Service Provider Survey 2025
Coherent pluggable optics are revolutionizing how service providers scale transport networks for AI, cloud, and video. This white paper written by Simon Stanley, Analyst at Larger, Heavy Reading (now part of Omdia) analyzes findings from 82 global operators in a 2025 survey, exploring current 400G deployment, 800G timelines, router/switch ports, and usage across edge, metro, […]
“The Efficient 5G Core: Industry Efforts for OPEX Reduction”
As networks evolve to handle unprecedented traffic growth, telecom operators face a pressing need to balance performance, cost efficiency, and sustainability. Traditional infrastructure scaling is no longer viable—operators must now extract more value from every rack, watt, and server while ensuring their 5G Core is flexible enough to evolve toward 5.5G and 6G. Meeting these […]
