Virtualization is the Present and Future of Mobile Networks

whitePaper | August 27, 2023

5G deployments continue their upward trend and will soon be the dominant mobile wireless protocol deployed in North America. The ecosystem is gathering valuable information from these deployments, and one area of focus is the transport network. As part of 5G’s evolution, key architecture components are being separated and distributed to the cloud in ways that make 5G more scalable and flexible. Meanwhile, bandwidth demands continue to increase at the same time applications and services require low latency. New requirements are presented to the transport network at each step of an operator’s 5G journey. The transport infrastructure of today must be flexible to adapt to upcoming requirements as it enables new architectures, tools, and ultimately, 5G networks innovation, monetization, and performance. The fundamental goal of the 5G transport network is to deliver transparent connectivity that allows both present and future functions to work together seamlessly.

Celona brings the resiliency and security of cellular technology to the enterprise network with its 5G LAN solution. A 5G LAN isn’t a traditional cellular wireless network as it harnesses the power of cellular technology for use within the enterprise network. It is used to connect and secure mission-critical network applications such as those in healthcare, manufacturing, supply chain, and is a great alternative to Wi-Fi for enhanced security.

The 5G shakeup has already started in many markets. Service providers are actively considering how they can evolve from being primarily consumer – oriented providers of voice, text and data to become much more business – and enterprise-focussed, enabling a more diverse range of B2B2x services.

The benefits 5G will bring to consumers, network equipment manufacturers (NEMs), and service providers (SPs) are both numerous and game-changing. 5G will radically improve the mobile broadband services that consumers enjoy and enable connectivity to billions of global devices to create a boom in the Internet of Things (IoT). 5G will provide robust support for new use cases we may scarcely imagine today. But there’s another critical challenge that deserves attention: Security—particularly the need for validation and testing. On a basic level, the adoption of 5G will depend on whether or not 5G services are demonstrably safe.

Organizations today require immediate and uninterrupted access to critical network and cloud-based resources in order to support the swift pace of digital business transformation. Spurred by the boom in remote work and the ongoing migration to cloud-based applications and services, consumption patterns are transforming traditional private and public networks into a single network of many end-users and devices scattered across the organization’s footprint. As a result, there are growing security concerns with this rapidly changing environment many traditional security solutions no longer provide the protection needed along with the flexibility to support businesses anywhere, anytime, via any device

The IEEE 5G and Beyond Technology Roadmap White Paper outlines the current telecommunications value chain that will need to adapt to changes and opportunities that the introduction of 5G and beyond technologies will bring. It describes key technology trends that will impact design drivers and challenges for technologies to simultaneously provide wireless communication, massive connectivity, the tactile internet, quality of service and network slicing. Future applications are listed that drive 5G and beyond requirements to provide societal benefits for education, manufacturing, healthcare, smart grid, entertainment, autonomous cars, and smart cities. And the white paper highlights technology enablers that need to be explored in the creation of the roadmap.
