What is service provider mobility (4G/5G)?

5G transformation is a massive exercise in strategic planning, capital allocation and execution. The faster operators can mature their 5G capabilities, the sooner they'll return value on their investment.

How do I get started?

Service providers are under immense pressure to transform into more agile operators while continuously driving costs out of the business. A more software-centric approach that drives efficiency and dynamically introduces new services with compelling economics will be crucial. 

Evaluate

The disaggregated nature of 5G enables service providers to leverage best-of-breed solutions to meet business objectives. Validating these solutions is challenging. And time is of the essence. 

Software-Defined Mobile Network Solution Briefing

Mobile operators face an increasingly competitive and demanding business environment in which technology is changing more rapidly than ever, which makes it imperative to implement future proof, end-to-end open network solutions to innovate and compete. The Software-Defined Mobile Network (SDMN) solution is a multi-vendor, software-based end-to-end 4G/5G mobile network that includes Virtualized RAN (Open vRAN), telco cloud infrastructure, transport and mobile core solutions — each virtualized and residing on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. This briefing — available for both the Option 2 and Option 7-2x Split RAN architectures— provides a blueprint for a disaggregated, virtualized, best-of-breed and fully open 4G/5G mobile network. A Cisco transport network is placed in between these data centers to connect these applications together to achieve end-to-end voice and data connectivity for subscribers.

Private LTE (over 3.5GHz CBRS) Network Solution

Private LTE delivers a controllable, cost-effective network that bolsters security while providing a wider and more reliable coverage area to enhance productivity and foster innovation. Service providers are using Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) to replace last-mile fiber access and deliver fixed wireless services to end customers while augmenting existing capacity. Enterprises and managed service providers are utilizing the 3.5 GHz band to deploy private LTE for IoT connectivity and deliver a quality of experience that Wi-Fi cannot guarantee.

Design

New solutions are not being delivered as a thing, but a component of things — a combination of multiple services within the network that live in the cloud or at the edge of the network. We help identify, design and validate multi-vendor solutions to ensure interoperability within your network architecture.
