The Shift to SD-WAN Research Study

According to a survey of 160 mid-market and enterprise companies conducted by IDG Connect and Silver Peak, companies are rapidly adopting Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN). Survey respondents say that landlines and traditional WAN architectures are inadequate to maintain competitiveness as they move more of their applications and data to the Cloud. Today, only 27% of survey respondents report having implemented SD-WAN; however, 92% expect to have done so within the next 12 months

Mode.net

Mode operates the world’s highest-performing software-defined core network (SD-CORE), built around a real-time network control breakthrough. Mode was co-founded by two Cornell computer scientists widely recognized for their discovery of the characteristic equations that define modern packet-switched networks, and their subsequent implementation of a mathematically optimal routing system, Mode HALO. Mode Core powers SD-WAN, Cloud Access, Unified Communications (UC), and Ultra Low Latency applications.

5G spectrum for local industrial networks

whitePaper | May 6, 2021

Many industries are looking at 5G as the backbone of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It is a golden opportunity for communications service providers (CSPs) to create and capture new market spaces by driving innovation, efficiency, and growth across various industries. A key factor influencing the uptake of wireless solutions is the question of how to handle spectrum for industrial purposes, since reliable connectivity demands licensed spectrum. Some countries provide spectrum dedicated for industrial use, whereas others do not. The intention of this paper is not to discuss the pros and cons of such spectrum strategies, but rather to focus on industries with local radio coverage needs. It tries to show that whether licensed spectrum is set aside for industries or not, CSPs are in the prime position to optimally address these industrial connectivity needs with powerful 5G networks and business models focused on industries. For regulators intending to implement licensed spectrum dedicated to industrial use, this paper aims to describe how this should best be done using simple principles and the well-defined legislation already available in most countries across the world.Many industries are looking at 5G as the backbone of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

How To Achieve Secured Wired and Wireless Networks

whitePaper | May 1, 2022

The access layer offers the broadest attack surface in an enterprise’s network. It supports all network connectivity (via both wired Ethernet switches and wireless access points) for employees, contractors, and guests—as well as Internet-ofThings (IoT) devices. With ever-increasing numbers of devices connecting to networks each day, ensuring access layer security becomes a critical need. And with remote working becoming a new standard during the COVID-19 pandemic (and even beyond), proper security to mitigate access layer attacks has never been more important.
