Session: Network Modernisation for 5G and Beyond
Today, we are moving towards a digital remote world where bandwidth demand is going to be humongous, and we need to remain prepared for it by upgrading our networks. New developments are happening in the field of information and communication technologies, but careful consideration needs to be done to decide which technology should be adapted at different layers - access, aggregation, and core area of the network.The goal of this session is to establish the future possibilities that 5G can bring for us, but it also highlights that essential steps should be taken in the right direction so that 5G can achieve what it promises. Even though massive Optical Network deployment can be time-consuming and costly, but it is a wise and important decision to address the insatiable bandwidth demands in this virtual world.
It’s a thing of the past that fiber-optic networks and wireless networks were thought of as competing technologies, but today, they are required to work together to offer a more cohesive internet experience across fixed and mobile applications. As the fifth generation of mobile internet connectivity promises greater bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and massive machine-type communication, let’s understand how the future lies in fiber-optic technologies to achieve an ever-connected world driven by IoT, AI, ML, AR and VR.
Key Takeaways
- The key takeaway of this session is to understand the need for network evolution.
- How to support legacy network and enable a smooth transition to a virtual world without having numerous outages?
- What should be the criteria to select different technologies and what are the future possibilities of 5G?
- How is AR/VR/IoT/AI success linked to having a robust network backbone?
- How to ensure data is protected in the virtual world and address cybersecurity issues.
