IN-BUILDING NETWORK EVOLUTION: FROM 4G TO 5G

December 21, 2017

5G Networks, also known as 3GPP Release 16 (Phase 1) and Release 17 (Phase 2), promise to bring many technical innovations to the field of cellular technologies. The new networks will be able to provide a wide range of diverse applications, from asynchronous, low data rate applications targeting machine to machine communications (M2M) and Internet of Things, to low latency very high data rate applications such as video gaming, and everything in between. 5G networks, unlike their predecessors, will be deployed over wide range of frequency bands. Sub-6 GHz will be used for blanket, citywide coverage suitable for mobile coverage, while millimeter wave frequencies (24 GHz and above) are suitable for stationary point to multipoint high bandwidth coverage targeting residential areas. In this paper we focus on key 5G features and discuss which type of 4G networks may be most affected by transitioning to 5G.

The Right Approach to Zero Trust for IoT Devices

whitePaper | May 2, 2022

Networking and security teams have historically relied on protections at the network perimeter to secure the entire enterprise. The internal network was deemed trusted and secure. While everything outside was considered “dirty,” everything on the internal network was considered “clean,” and application traffic would flow unrestricted. However, recent and developing shifts in enterprise working models are having a far-reaching effect on the traditionally managed network perimeter for security. The following trends are making organizations reassess their approach to security:
