5 Steps to a 5G-ready cloud

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.

Traditional LAN infrastructure deployed throughout enterprise and other markets has been highly effective at incorporating the growing domain of Ethernet devices into a unified infrastructure. These systems work best when end users need higher bandwidth and more flexibility across their systems, when user density is high, and when interoperability for future changes is paramount.

In today’s world, enterprises are becoming increasingly distributed and autonomous. The applications and services they deliver are increasingly demanding high bandwidth, as well as reliable, deterministic communications over wide areas under different conditions and multiple networks. Enterprises and enterprise networks are increasingly demanding more spectrum, more bandwidth and lower latency. Vertical industries each present their own set of unique requirements on communications networks and no one technology or operating model will meet the needs of the enterprise. Instead, the enterprise/ private network of the future can expect to be a multi-network that incorporates elements drawn from traditional enterprise models as well as from public mobile network models.

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

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.

There is no end to the process of network augmentation, and current augmentation process needs to be further enhanced to better serve the future customer needs. To this effect, the networks should be flexible, agile and scalable. In addition, in the 5G era, creation of new vertical markets utilizing the mobile networks will be facilitated. Under these circumstances, operators need to keep evolving their networks by adding new network equipment and/or replacing existing equipment. With open interfaces and open application programming interfaces (APIs), operators can freely choose and adopt best-of-breed solutions among various vendors considering time-to-market and cost in this process by only adding or replacing the required components at the required time without having to swap other equipment that are connected.
