MPLS Segment Routing

December 7, 2017

For many years, one of the biggest challenges in network design has been effectively managing traffic flow end-toend across the network. Stated more specifically: How is traffic intelligently classified and path engineered throughout the network? Furthermore, how can this traffic be classified into differentiated levels of service, without adding unnecessary complication to management, control plane or data plane state in this critically important part of the network? Now, modern cloud and service provider networks in the SDN era require even more flexible control on steering of their traffic flows, at a much greater scale

Empowering industries at the network edge

whitePaper | July 20, 2021

As the telecommunications industry speeds toward 5G, organizations are looking for new technology that will enable them to deliver more capabilities to their customers, faster. As part of this need to transform, companies are increasingly looking to open technology to help them build out that framework to develop real solutions to real problems.

5G TERMS AND ACRONYMS

whitePaper | November 15, 2019

The promise of 5G is faster and more reliable communications. 5G opens doors to exciting new connections to Internet of Things (IoT) networks, autonomous driving, broadband wireless, and interruption-free video viewing. Whatever you develop 5G technology for, it will be imperative to understand design and test concepts and solutions across multiple dimensions. There are a lot of 5G terms and more on the way. We’ve got you covered – here’s a list of what’s out there today. Second-generation digital cellular networks used by mobile phones, designed as a replacement for analog first-generation radio (1G). Designed primarily for voice using digital standards.

Game-Changing Business Model: Private LTE for AMI and Smart Utility Programs

whitePaper | December 1, 2019

The landscape of telecommunications options available to support utilities’ Operational Technology (OT) solutions is rapidly evolving - at a pace compared only by the changing needs of the OT requirements themselves. As utilities replace first generation Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) solutions with current more feature-rich systems and expand the reach of traditional Distribution Automation (DA), Field Mobility (FM) and other existing solutions; new options are required for device connectivity and backhaul. The potential explosion of ubiquitous Internet of Things (IoT) devices will further change the utilities’ needs.

5G Wireless: Understanding the Basics

whitePaper | June 8, 2021

5G networks will be available soon, and it’s time to prepare your network to take advantage of this high-speed, lowlatency technology. 5G wireless technology will represent an even greater leap forward in network performance, enabling enterprises to tap into a broad range of new applications and services.

THE USER’S VIEW OF THE 5G RAN

whitePaper | October 26, 2022

Obviously, RAN performance and user experience are correlated. Still, there are ways to optimize the RAN performance to maximize the user experience that go beyond the optimization of individual RAN parameters. By improving the user experience, the wireless infrastructure becomes more cost-efficient, and the operator can squeeze more out of its network for the same investment.

Why 5G is Important for Enterprises

whitePaper | January 18, 2020

5G is an emerging technology that transforms underlying architecture in core networks and promotes virtualization, AI and automation. It changes the possibilities of networks, applications and underlying IT systems. It introduces new technologies such as edge compute and network slicing to enable the introduction and ubiquity of immersive solutions. These solutions are what will provide the tools for organizations – IT departments and lines of business – to transform digitally and create new business outcomes that have traditionally not been associated with IT.
