Breaking Down 5G Network Transformation

We hear a lot about “Shifting Left” on security and compliance in order to find and fix policy violations and security vulnerabilities early in the software development lifecycle. When security and compliance comes later, making changes become more expensive and slows things down. However, nearly all of the focus with shifting left is on the application and OS, with scant attention paid to infrastructure security and compliance.

Over the next few years, standardization work will pave the way for huge enhancements in throughput, latency and availability that promise to open up the benefits of 5G to many new industries and applications. For organizations to reap these benefits, the 5G ecosystem must manage component-level risks around scaling mmWave deployment, thermal management, optimizing device footprint through component count reduction, and extending battery life. This webinar will discuss the future evolution of 5G, the growth opportunities and challenges around 5G-enhanced mobile broadband, massive IoT and mission-critical communications (MCS) and how component-level risks can be managed to achieve commercial success.

Data Centers vary widely in nature and can be roughly classified as hyperscale, multi-tenant, and private. A critical and common component in the operation of such data centers is the installation and maintenance of the physical cabling infrastructure. A fundamental change taking place is the evolution from cables using classic connectors on copper (RJ-45) or fiber optics (LC) to cables terminated by pluggables such as SFP or QSFP. This represents a new challenge as these cables, called Active Optical Cable (AOC) or Direct Attach Copper (DAC), are not easily validated and tested.
