Disparate operations support systems (OSS) and business support systems (BSS) lack scalability and limit the value of network and application data. IT teams need federated access to legacy systems and data, while developers and partners need secure, easy access to systems. An application programming interface (API)-centric approach to integration, secured via API management, addresses these […]

The latest in our series of 5G industry references, Understanding 5G explores the revolutionary architecture and describes how each segment of […]
Our work of tomorrow is going to look vastly different from the work we do today. Artificial intelligence (AI) is augmenting workers in certain roles, and soon this trend will expand to the vast majority of the workforce, allowing humans to do the work that matters and, in the process, vastly improving workforce productivity and […]
As CSPs transform to enable more on-demand, customizable digital services, the primary hurdle remains how to remove legacy network silos. This white paper reviews open source-based tools that enable fully automated, end-to-end networks across MPLS, Optical, IP and Cloud resources. By merging network resources, CSPs are learning how to thrive in this dynamic market place without the fear of vendor lock-in.
5G promises an extreme broadband experience with ultra-high reliability, low-latency, and massive scalability, enabling a wide range of new use cases. This is a significant opportunity to build more compelling offers for consumers and enterprises, but also to do this profitably. This presentation discusses the need for service providers to leverage a monetization solution that is designed to address the requirements of 5G-enabled use cases and […]
The future of telecommunications operations and business support systems (OSS/BSS) is automated. To meet this challenge, communications service providers (CSPs) are modernizing their OSS/BSS architecture and transforming into digital service providers (DSPs). ACG Research identifies the steps for implementation and recommends an agile, cloud native, microservices-based environment powered by managed open source software with advanced […]
The deployment of 5G NR brings new performance and applications but it also is the first global adoption of TDD networks where the downlink and the uplink use the same frequency; meaning that downlink signals can mask interference. Download this Application Card and discover: Why 5G networks entail new challenges How to identify and locate […]
For all of the benefits that 5G promises, operators are faced with a stark reality: 5G networks introduce challenges not experienced with other iterations of cellular technology. Spectrum issues, network densification, network slicing and virtualization are just a few of the complications that 5G operators face as they plan and build networks. As a result, […]
IoT is all about how data can be used to re-commercialise products into services. This re-commercialisation enables IoT enterprises to deliver higher levels of customer engagement and experience, whilst making cost savings and realising new revenue generation opportunities, which are critical for the return on investment of the IoT project. There are a number of […]
Our world is becoming more digitally connected by the day. Service providers are looking beyond simple voice and data services. The growth of the internet of things (IoT) is changing what it means to be a service provider. Now, mobile network operators (MNOs), either directly or through partnerships, are offering services such as home security, […]
The explosion of IoT devices in people’s homes and offices is attracting attention from cyber criminals. And thanks to the security problems commonly found in these devices, they present attackers with low hanging fruit to pick. According to F-Secure Labs, threats targeting weak/default credentials, unpatched vulnerabilities, or both, made up 87% of observed threats. In […]
Today’s homes are beginning to look and operate like homes of the future. Internet connectivity is continuing its expansion, spreading to more household appliances and devices. For service providers who are staying on top of the trends, the IoT is a wave that promises new avenues of opportunity. Managing security, however, can be complex for […]
There’s a lot to get excited about with 5G: much greater speeds, increased capacity, network slicing, millimeter wavelength, edge computing, IoT and more! But how do telcos start to extract value from their investments in 5G? Download the latest whitepaper from MATRIXX Software to learn: • The essentials of a 5G monetization strategy • Why […]
As 5G moves from the lab to the field, field engineers, technicians and installers are grappling with the many challenges of ensuring a successful deployment. Validating 5G in the lab is one thing, but scaling it to the field requires robust, efficient, and scalable 5G test and verification solutions. VIAVI is pleased to offer an […]
Emerging 5G services pose new and challenging requirements for transport networks. Addressing them necessitates a new split of functions in radio access networks. CPRI/eCPRI, IEEE, and xRAN are among the organizations that have come up with new standards to design and characterize the new functional splits. This white paper outlines the new requirements and challenges […]
Not all FTTH networks are built the same way. Since construction and outside plant account for the majority of total network costs, getting the architecture right has a major impact on the business case. The network architecture can also impact time-to-market, labour/training requirements, future upgradeability, network performance, and ultimately, customer satisfaction. This paper provides an […]
As the 5G standards continue to be finalized, network equipment manufacturers, service providers, and their ecosystems must keep track of complex requirements and specifications. VIAVI Solutions is pleased to provide this detailed yet elegant poster in our series of 5G industry references. To receive a hard copy of this poster please complete the short form […]
