Why SD-WAN Alone is Not Enough

Historically, enterprise network security has been defined by a series of painful tradeoffs. Simply put, flat networks were easy to manage but gave attackers free reign to spread and cause damage once inside the network. On the other hand, the more secure and tightly controlled architectures defined by Zero Trust exponentially increased the cost, complexity, and effort required from staff. Ultimately, this forced organizations into uneasy compromises that were expensive, left technical teams overworked, and fell well short of the ideals of Zero Trust.

The transformational potential of 5G arises because, unlike previous technologies, it was built to address a wide array of use cases including smartphones, data, and the ultrareliable and low-latency communication needed for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or augmented reality / virtual reality (AR/VR). It can effectively bring cellular connectivity into enterprise and vertical markets and is meant to deliver.

As a digital transformation journey focused on the customer experience is underway, new opportunities are arising for satellite players to join terrestrial and wireless carriers who have already gravitated towards multi-domain strategies.

Currently, traditional RAN vendors are delivering to operators a ready for deployment RAN solution, which is already fully tested and pre-integrated in their own facilities. Each vendor manages its own lab and testing resources, so that the associated overhead in integration complexity is transparent to the operator. Hardware and software are tied, and product roadmap is built according to 3GPP specifications for radio functionalities. Logical interfaces between subsystems of the radio site are proprietary defined, so no interoperability between different vendors is possible.

This white paper (available in both short and long versions) analyses the 5G-PPP projects’ use cases of various verticals for their performance KPIs and their mapping to the 5G network KPIs. The scope is to identify (based on architectural elements analysis, information flow, etc.) the potential impact on the service performance and the perceived user quality. The considered use cases belong to the following domains: Smart Cities & Utilities, Transportation, Automotive, Media & Entertainment, Agriculture & Agri-food, Smart (Air)ports, Energy and E-health & Wellness. The goal was to understand the relationship between the 5G network performance indicators and the vertical services.

One of the overarching goals of the ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) F5G on Fifth Generation Fixed Network is to establish a regular rhythm of evolution for the fixed telecommunications network. This technology enhancement corresponds to the series of generations defined for the wireless network. So far, F5G has published technical specifications on use cases, generations definition of fibre networks, architecture, and more. As it continues, these documents will be enhanced and revised to describe the fifth generation of fixed networks more fully. Therefore, we need to consider the evolution of F5G. This White Paper describes the drivers, dimensions, and technologies of the F5G advanced and beyond.
