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.

5G brings edge computing to the forefront, and the edge has become much more complex and critical. For those contemplating new 5G rollouts or making non-standalone (NSA) to standalone (SA) transitions, understanding how to take advantage of this unique solution architecture could reduce costs and improve customer outcomes. This research brief will examine the novel use of programmable fabrics in edge architectures and how this hybrid approach can minimize the deployment footprint, reduce power consumption and cooling needs, and improve network performance.

Operators are picking up serious momentum when it comes to 5G roll outs. As of December 2021, 487 operators in 145 countries or territories had invested in 5G mobile or fixed wireless networks with 200 of these having launched some level of 5G network coverage. However, there is still a long road ahead when it comes to ensuring that 5G meets its potential and drives maximum ROI. A big stumbling block to overcome will be to ensure comprehensive coverage, in particular, in buildings.
