5G: How Networking Got Its Groove Back

Date: 25th August
Time: 3pm UK Time

As specifications for 5G continue to solidify, we see the convergence of mobility and Internet architectures to create a network platform that is high-capacity, always-on, and ubiquitous. 5G is more than just a radio upgrade for mobile phones. Explosive growth in mobile data traffic, rise of media-rich applications (AR/VR) and interconnected edge clouds are driving the need for a pervasive, massively scalable, digital-first, 5G network infrastructure.

In this webinar, we focus on 5G trends, drivers and how they are acting as a catalyst for a new wave of innovation for communications service providers (CSPs) and even enterprises. We highlight how having a first principles-based strategy that enables seamless connectivity to data center, multicloud and edge workloads is essential for 5G services.

Key topics include:

• 5G trends and business drivers
• ‘The Power of One’ – the power of a simple, scalable, and seamless network
• Key networking innovations (such as network slicing, segment routing, edge routing, multicloud networking, to name a few) that unlock new revenue models, drive massive TCO savings, and deliver any service, any time, anywhere.
• Innovations across data center, multicloud and the edge
