Growing bandwidths across wireless and wireline access networks, together with the massive expansion of generative AI, are driving ever greater demands across service provider metro, regional and long-haul networks. The introduction of 1.2T and 1.6T coherent optical interfaces has enabled higher capacity per channel but reduced the number of channels per band. Finding the optimal […]
Why operators are looking at AI-RAN for future RAN systems
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into future RAN systems will be critical to delivering on the promise of future 5G and 6G networks. AI will also play an important role in the delivery of edge AI services that can unlock new monetization opportunities. A key finding from the Heavy Reading Platforms for Future RAN Systems […]
What impact will AI and RAN integration have on network TCO?
The new Heavy Reading Platforms for Future RAN Systems Operator Survey identifies an expected net positive impact on RAN system power from integrating AI processing. For new technologies to be adopted, they must provide tangible benefits like better performance, enhanced capabilities, cost savings or improved power efficiency. Ideally, new technologies should deliver some combination of […]
Platforms for Future RAN Systems Operator Survey
Heavy Reading’s Platforms for Future RAN Systems Operator Survey written by Simon Stanley investigates how operators plan to deploy and operate future RAN systems and explores the expected use of AI-native platforms.
What benefits do operators expect from applying AI to the RAN?
he new Heavy Reading Platforms for Future RAN Systems Operator Survey highlights the benefits operators expect from applying AI to the RAN. 5G networks are widely deployed, and many operators have already enhanced their 5G services by implementing 5G standalone (SA) and decoupling the 5G service from older 4G infrastructure. The next steps for these […]
The Role of AI in Platforms for Future RAN System
How will service providers deploy and use AI in future RAN systems and what benefits are they expecting? The use of AI is seen as the key element in the service upgrade that 6G will deliver for mobile service providers and their customers. What is less clear is how AI will be used by service […]
Optical Networking Digital Symposium: Driving Coherent Pluggables Across Data Centers and Metro Networks
Globally, operators are under tremendous pressure to boost revenues, a requirement that is becoming particularly urgent as operators invest heavily in networks and spectrum licenses for 5G. Transport networks have a vital role to play in differentiated services and new revenue opportunities supporting 5G mobility and the edge and underpinning advanced wireline services. Coherent pluggables […]
From Wi-Fi 6 to 7: The Journey to the Next Wireless Frontier
As the demand for faster, more reliable wireless connectivity grows, Wi-Fi technology continues to evolve. Wi-Fi 7 represents a critical leap forward in the evolution of networking. Building on the foundation of Wi-Fi 6, this next-generation standard promises unprecedented speeds, lower latency, and greater capacity to meet the demands of an increasingly connected world. We’ll […]
Optimizing Metro, Long Haul, and Subsea Networks with 130+ Gbaud Coherent Connections
Optical Networking Day 1 Session 1 – Optimizing Metro, Long Haul, and Subsea Networks with 130+ Gbaud Coherent Connections Since the introduction of coherent technology, symbol rates have continually risen enabling higher transmission bandwidths over longer distances. The introduction of 90 Gbaud coherent systems in 2020 proved to be a significant development enabling 800G and […]
Optimizing power usage as data centers shift to 800G
AI is redefining how we both work and play and it’s one of the main drivers behind the deployment of new, faster data communication rates (i.e., 800G and soon 1.6 TB). To support this migration, backbone networks are moving to new, more efficient technologies that allow them to increase bandwidth while reducing power consumption. At […]
