The future is digital, and the race is on. Businesses across the world are approaching a crucial juncture where those who have the ability to adapt their operations to a rapidly evolving landscape will have the edge over their competitors. The number of devices communicating across the network has been growing exponentially, but that number is about to explode as the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to become a reality. As a result, it has never been more important to ensure that the edge of a business’ network is robust, secure and can be upgraded with the speed needed to capitalise on changing business environments.

It’s no secret that the sudden drastic changes in the way we work over the past nine months have negatively impacted user experience and increased cybersecurity risk. IT departments have scrambled to empower newly remote employees, seeking ways to enable ubiquitous application access and improve network performance. But the acceleration of the Future of Work has come at a cost. Business continuity concerns have caused organizations to focus on improving the user experience for remote employees at the expense of security and IT professionals know this isn’t sustainable. Menlo’s new research report captures the concerns of IT professionals at U.S. based organizations as they grapple with the acceleration of digital transformation in the age of COVID-19.

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.

Communications service provider (SP) traffic volumes are progressively increasing as networks evolve, user devices gain greater capacity, and applications engaging with advanced network data such as that from the 5G standalone (5G SA) network exposure function (NEF) start to deliver on customer expectations. Cloudification of network functions — virtualized network functions (VNFs) and cloud-native network functions (CNFs) — is placing new burdens on old systems and processes not designed to manage intent-based network architecture. Silos of data locked within many installed systems keep transformation efforts from reaching anticipated objectives.
