Now, there’s a need to add broadband connections for faster cloud access. But these links are less secure and complicate network management and policy enforcement.

U.S. operators will spend more than $250 billion to deploy 5G wireless networks from 2020 to 2025. The recent C-band (5G spectrum) auction where four operators accounted for $79 billion of the $81 billion raised increased 5G costs by an additional 40%. The top U.S. operators (Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T) will complete the majority of their 5G deployments over the next five years. As they continue to expand their 5G coverage and capacity, a key concern is how to recoup their 5G investments while minimizing deployment costs.
