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.

Currently, traditional RAN vendors are delivering to operators a ready for deployment RAN solution, which is already fully tested and pre-integrated in their own facilities. Each vendor manages its own lab and testing resources, so that the associated overhead in integration complexity is transparent to the operator. Hardware and software are tied, and product roadmap is built according to 3GPP specifications for radio functionalities. Logical interfaces between subsystems of the radio site are proprietary defined, so no interoperability between different vendors is possible.

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.

Increasingly, broadband service providers (BSPs) are upgrading to next-generation XGS-PON fiber networks. Why? These advanced networks are necessary to support the new era we live in—one of high-bandwidth services and rich subscriber experiences backed by popular cloud-based applications and services. Next-generation XGS-PON fiber networks can deliver those high-speed 10G offerings and enable broadband businesses to provide popular subscriber services to both homes and businesses. In this world of increased demand for more bandwidth, BSPs also need networks that enable service provisioning in minutes—not days or hours. Networks must be seamlessly optimized and scaled to meet changing subscriber demands.
