With 5G networks, the focus for carrier service providers (CSPs) is beyond just using smartphones. CSPs are looking into delivering consumer services for both mobile and fixed subscribers. 5G's high bandwidth, low latency and better spectrum efficiencies will allow connectivity of billions of IoT devices. CSPs need a scalable monitoring tool that is designed for the cloud to successfully achieve insights into reliability and latency for 5G networks and services.
This article highlights how leading carrier service providers (CSPs) are embracing the concept of virtualization technologies but are proceeding with caution due to the immense complexity involved in the management – or orchestration – of virtualized infrastructure. This stall is set to end with the arrival of 5G mobile networks. For CSPs to showcase the advantages of a fully virtualized operational environment, they'll need smart visibility across their network.
This Heavy Reading white paper discusses the importance of visibility into end-to-end subscriber sessions that span multiple network domains, including physical and virtualized (virtual machine [VM] container-based) and multiple vendors. The paper goes on to describe how visibility should be turned into smart data for higher-level systems and tangible benefits.
The successful design, production and rollout of 5G networks requires sound test strategies that ensure product and system performance while also meeting stringent cost and time requirements. Anritsu’s new 5G NR white paper addresses current standards, frequency considerations and how to develop and implement sound test processes. Learn more by downloading the Test Strategies for 5G NR white paper.
Most 5G industry discussions focus on the radio network, but the transport network will also play a crucial role in 5G. Based on a global operator survey of 104 respondents, this white paper provides the industry’s most in-depth look at the current state and future trajectory of 5G transport (or Xhaul) based on operators’ views and plans.
This White Paper discusses the network architecture changes, new frame formats, expected timing, and latency requirements, and why they are required. Understanding the combination of these key areas will provide the background to understanding how these networks will look as this industry moves rapidly to 5G.
This white paper moves beyond the buzzwords and provides a deeper look at machine learning, fishing in a sea of data, and applying machine learning algorithms within AIOps.
