Enterprise and residential market dynamics, 5G, and the cloud are driving new applications—and creating new revenue opportunities for Communications Service Providers (CSPs). But these emerging use cases are also creating challenges: new traffic patterns, the move to virtualized and distributed applications, and the need for higher bandwidth and lower latency connectivity to end-users. IP/Optical convergence can play a key role in helping CSPs address these, but where does the path to architecture evolution begin? For every CSP, the journey is unique. With Ciena’s solutions, CSPs can start—and build—from their existing networks to evolve to a more streamlined, programmatic infrastructure that can serve as the foundation for innovation in the distributed services and content era.

5G, the fifth-generation cellular technology, is being deployed around the world. 5G is a transformational technology designed to provide significant flexibility and support a variety of use cases. This paper describes the emerging infrastructure trends of wireless networks for 4G, 5G, and beyond 5G. These trends provide even more opportunities to service providers for network deployments, network customization, and network optimization. These key trends include (i) spectrum trends, (ii) densification & coverage extension methods, (iii) virtualization and cloudification, and (iv) network customization and intelligence.

The telecoms industry is going through its most substantial shift since the introduction of IP networks in the 1990s. Function­specific network infrastructure is being replaced by software­based networks and the high bandwidth, low latency capabilities of 5G wireless and fixed fibre are enabling a vastly increased portfolio of services for communications service providers (CSPs).

By 2026, there will be close to six billion cellular Internet of Things (IoT) connections, and mobile data traffic will reach 226 exabytes (EB) per month, about 4.5 times the amount of cellular traffic in 20201 . This increase in internet traffic will result in an overwhelming session load on mobile network operators’ (MNOs) monitoring infrastructure.
