Wireless telecommunications technology has undergone a tremendous evolution in the last few decades, from making simple phone calls (1G) and sending text messages (2G), to connecting to highspeed internet (3G) and providing multimedia and entertainment services (4G). Futuristic technologies such as remote robotics and virtual reality are emerging quickly and are likely to see mass adoption, while 4G cellular networks have reached capacity limits and are incapable of supporting the uninterrupted operations of these services. It is estimated that data will reach 175 zettabytes worldwide by 2025, up from 1.2 zettabytes in 2010, when 4G was first being deployed globally. 5G therefore provides a much-needed mobile bandwidth infrastructure for a world of connected objects and smarter cities.

Layer 1 transport services are a highly profitable offering that service providers can sell to enterprises. These services, which include ethernet, fiber channel, and legacy SDH/SONET, provide connection to data centers and other corporate locations. However, it has always been a challenge to provision these services fast enough, due to the rigid, low-cost nature of optical access networks. This paper highlights how an innovative and economical access-to-core Optical Transport Networking (OTN) switching solution can enable service providers to provision these lucrative services rapidly, speeding up time to revenues, maintaining customer satisfaction, while also guaranteeing service availability.

The public cloud, often referred to as the cloud, is a popular model of cloud computing. Cloud service providers leverage the internet and make resources such as infrastructure, storage, and servers available for businesses. Third-party providers own and operate the shared physical hardware and offer it to companies based on their needs. This multi-tenant environment makes it easier to spread the infrastructure costs across a number of users. Companies around the globe are adopting the cloud to take advantage of core characteristics: Cost effectiveness. By using cloud infrastructure, customers do not need to spend large amounts of money on purchasing and maintaining equipment. This drastically reduces capital expenditure (CapEx) costs, saving companies the resources and time to invest in hardware, facilities, and utilities, or to build out a large data center to grow their business.
