The modern distributed workplace—including enterprises with thousands of branches and remote workers—requires updated approaches to cloud, networking, and security infrastructure. Cloud migration has opened the door to a huge increase in sophisticated applications, requiring networks that can carry traffic to an increasingly remote workforce. In turn, this creates a unique set of new requirements for security, including special capabilities to handle unpredictable locations of users, applications, and traffic flows.

As 5G continues to evolve, so do the plethora of new use cases that unveil additional dimensions of capability in terms of higher bandwidth, lower latency, and efficient scalability. While these create new opportunities and innovations, the way design and manufacturing engineers verify their products and test procedures must also keep pace with the new challenges these capabilities bring to an already complex 5G ecosystem.

It’s no secret that the sudden drastic changes in the way we work over the past nine months have negatively impacted user experience and increased cybersecurity risk. IT departments have scrambled to empower newly remote employees, seeking ways to enable ubiquitous application access and improve network performance. But the acceleration of the Future of Work has come at a cost. Business continuity concerns have caused organizations to focus on improving the user experience for remote employees at the expense of security and IT professionals know this isn’t sustainable. Menlo’s new research report captures the concerns of IT professionals at U.S. based organizations as they grapple with the acceleration of digital transformation in the age of COVID-19.

Fast and reliable communications services are perhaps the defining trait of today’s world. Enterprises, mobile operators and other entities requiring high-speed connectivity should be able to enter an address to see serviceability options, determine orderable network service products and pricing, place the order, and then receive proactive notifications regarding the status of their order.

5G deployments continue their upward trend and will soon be the dominant mobile wireless protocol deployed in North America. The ecosystem is gathering valuable information from these deployments, and one area of focus is the transport network. As part of 5G’s evolution, key architecture components are being separated and distributed to the cloud in ways that make 5G more scalable and flexible. Meanwhile, bandwidth demands continue to increase at the same time applications and services require low latency. New requirements are presented to the transport network at each step of an operator’s 5G journey. The transport infrastructure of today must be flexible to adapt to upcoming requirements as it enables new architectures, tools, and ultimately, 5G networks innovation, monetization, and performance. The fundamental goal of the 5G transport network is to deliver transparent connectivity that allows both present and future functions to work together seamlessly.

Enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low latency communications, and massive machine-type communication (mMTC) are well understood and highly anticipated 5G use cases. The big challenge for network operators is how to support these use cases, and more, on the same network. Much of the buzz to date has centered on 5G-NR (new radio), virtualized core, and mm-Wave spectrum. Receiving far less attention, but equally important as the new radio interface, is the evolution of the transport network that connects 5G nodes to enable the key 5G use cases—simultaneously.
