12:45 PM Session Two – Differentiated Services with Next-Generation Transport Networks

Globally, operators are under tremendous pressure to boost revenues, a requirement that is becoming particularly urgent as operators invest heavily in networks and spectrum licenses for 5G. Transport networks have a vital role to play in differentiated services and new revenue opportunities supporting 5G mobility and the edge and underpinning advanced wireline services.

This session will address:

• Optical spectrum-as-a-service with spectrum sharing
• OTN advances for ultra-reliable and ultra-low latency enterprise applications
• Hard slicing vs. soft slicing: What’s best for 5G Phase 2 services?
• Automation, AI and machine learning for transport
• Beyond cost cutting, does disaggregation play a role in differentiation?
