Gigabit wired and wireless convergence

stl.tech
With the proliferation of 4G LTE across the globe and evolution of WiFi standards to support Gigabit connectivity in building (home, enterprise, high-density venues, etc.), there has been a steady rise in data consumption at the network's edge. This demand for high bandwidth on the radio access has led to growing demand for high-bandwidth backhaul connectivity. The natural choice for backhaul connectivity has been fiber, and networks across the world are extending fiber reach to as close to the network edge as possible. But can a converged infrastructure or fiber++ bring better value to the end consumer and make case for a better economics? In the recent past, 5G and particularly the 5GNR standard, has generated renewed interest in fixed wireless access, with the focus primarily on offering broadband connectivity to homes.

The Potential of Networks Slicing in 5G

5G introduces a number of innovative and disruptive networking paradigms, many of which had not been applied to mobile networks in the past. Gone is the one-size-fits-all approach to network infrastructure, as 5G brings a service-based architecture, IT-centric cloud services, and an exciting new ability to personalize network ‘slices’ that match the specific requirements of industry-vertical applications to customer segments.

SD-WAN and Security at the Edge on Intel Architecture

Intel

Enterprises are deploying SD-WAN, at an increasingly faster pace, as an important first step towards building optimized environments that are ready for multi-cloud world. As a platform, SD-WAN is a solid first step in deploying edge security applications and services with additional security functions like next-generation firewall (NGFW), intrusion prevention, SSL inspection, web filtering, DNS security, and malware analysis needed as well.

Data centers & network performance monitoring: Cloud connectivity becomes just as critical as compute

We bring you two perspectives on this topic. First, from the network assurance and performance monitoring point of view. Explain how a service provider could build their SLA’s from a quality perspective, but also how to measure the SLA’s in real-time with confidence. The second perspective comes from the data center context. We view how connection quality becomes one of the key elements when delivering services to different audiences through the cloud.

What's the Big Deal About SD-WAN?

SD-WAN is one of the most talked about topics in networking today. With all the chatter around the individual benefits of the technology, it’s easy to lose the big picture view of SD-WAN as a transformational technology. Understanding the big picture view provides important perspective on the value of SD-WAN. This perspective yi
