While most data centers are prepared for current bandwidth demands and maintain up-to-date backbones, some enterprise networks are in danger of falling behind. Increased wireless traffic has already taxed many enterprise environments. Evolving IEEE 802.11 standards such as 802.11ac Wave 1, Wave 2, and 802.11ax — along with bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies — encourage more Wi-Fi activity and place significant strain on existing 1000BASE-T systems. This demand has pushed network speed requirements beyond 1 Gb/s. Enterprise networks will fail to meet the growing demand for reliable network performance without the right cabling infrastructure in place.

Organizations are embracing digital transformation initiatives such as cloud, mobile, and software-defined networking. And, with an increased dependence on applications, there's often the need for additional network expansions and upgrades. To help you keep pace, there’s the new SteelCentral AppResponse 11.

Today, the 5G system mainly operates on a network-to-device communication model, exemplified by enhanced mobile broadband use cases where all data transmissions are between the network (i.e., base station) and devices (e.g., smartphone). However, to fully deliver on the original 5G vision of supporting diverse devices, services, and deployment scenarios, we need to expand the 5G topology further to reach new levels of performance and efficiency.
