Deadly sins and best practices for 4G/5G network operations

5G Networks, also known as 3GPP Release 16 (Phase 1) and Release 17 (Phase 2), promise to bring many technical innovations to the field of cellular technologies. The new networks will be able to provide a wide range of diverse applications, from asynchronous, low data rate applications targeting Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) communications, to very high data rate low latency applications such as video gaming, and everything in between.

As 5G changes network architecture to deliver ultra-high capacity, availability, and coverage, network density will be vital, integrating 5G New Radio (NR) with small cells, remote radio heads, and Wi-Fi. To support this, mobile transport must undergo its own evolution to integrate macro/small cell backhaul, fronthaul, and even midhaul into a unified, dynamic, and flexible network environment. In this webinar, discover how mobile operators can transform their mobile transport networks to an X-haul architecture that supports the demands of dense and diverse radio deployments and delivers the performance capabilities required for future-looking services.

This webinar leverages NetBrain’s map-driven automation software to showcase 10 rules for minimizing network outages. You’ll learn how to use automation to proactively ensure your network doesn’t go down, and how to improve response times if it does.

Cloud Computing is changing everything: traditional WAN solutions are no longer adequate because MPLS doesn’t do cloud, locks you in to a carrier and is incredibly expensive. WAN Opt alone offers fewer benefits over a high bandwidth, unpredictable Internet environment.
