Orchestrating service assurance for 5G FWA service rollout and operations

Workplaces are transforming - from cubes and square footage, to any location, any time, with mobile devices running a mass array of applications. That's why it's crucial to choose access points and network management tools that deliver the best-connected guest and employee experience and can be deployed and managed with minimal IT resources.

The scale of DDoS and other network attacks are increasing exponentially. Today, CSPs are often addressing this by over-provisioning capacity in proprietary hardware that is scaled for rare peaks that lie unused most of the time. As well as being inefficient, this approach doesn't always guarantee enough capacity for some of the attack types that can be generated today.

Working on the cutting edge of low latency networks brings a constant need to go even “faster”. Global financial institutions and financial services firms deploying extremely fast Layer 1 switching have a significant technology challenge to interconnect key systems and in-network applications deployed on FPGAs and, at the same time, eliminate as much latency as possible. As you add capacity the scale of the ultra-high performance network systems has become constrained by both device density and overall solution complexity.

Understanding 5G and its impact on fiber networks is essential as the next generation of wireless technology is deployed in the coming years. While 5G promises to help revolutionize Smart Cities, IoT, and autonomous vehicles, direct fiber connections to homes, businesses, and institutions will continue to grow. A dense blanket of 5G radios deployed outdoors, on buildings, and in buildings will be required to support 5G, and industry consensus is that fiber will connect most of these radios to the network. Learn how fiber networks can be designed and deployed to support FTTx, 4G, and 5G on a single fiber network platform, using new compact optical fiber cabling systems that help overcome the barriers to deploying fiber both to buildings and in buildings.
