The 5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation (5G-ACIA) was established to serve as the main global forum for addressing, discussing, and evaluating relevant technical, regulatory, and business aspects of 5G for the industrial domain. It embraces the entire ecosystem and all relevant stakeholders, which include but aren’t limited to the operational technology industry

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.

U.S. operators will spend more than $250 billion to deploy 5G wireless networks from 2020 to 2025. The recent C-band (5G spectrum) auction where four operators accounted for $79 billion of the $81 billion raised increased 5G costs by an additional 40%. The top U.S. operators (Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T) will complete the majority of their 5G deployments over the next five years. As they continue to expand their 5G coverage and capacity, a key concern is how to recoup their 5G investments while minimizing deployment costs.

Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation (NTT) launched the world’s first mobile communication service using a cellular system on December 3, 1979. Since then, the radio access technology for mobile communications has evolved into a new generation system every 10 years. Along with technological development, services have also made progress. In the years from the first generation (1G) to the second generation (2G), the services were mainly voice calls, but finally advanced to simple text messaging.

The evolution and large-scale deployment of fifth generation “5G” wireless networks over the next few years will require complementary 5G services by offering ubiquitous and reliable coverage across numerous geographies. Terrestrial networks are currently focusing on delivery of 5G services to areas already being served by existing cellular technologies, but the unique capabilities of non-terrestrial networks can help expand the reach of 5G technology in the realization of new use cases

Organizations today require immediate and uninterrupted access to critical network and cloud-based resources in order to support the swift pace of digital business transformation. Spurred by the boom in remote work and the ongoing migration to cloud-based applications and services, consumption patterns are transforming traditional private and public networks into a single network of many end-users and devices scattered across the organization’s footprint. As a result, there are growing security concerns with this rapidly changing environment many traditional security solutions no longer provide the protection needed along with the flexibility to support businesses anywhere, anytime, via any device
