SP360: Service Provider

Is your DOCSIS 3.1 downstream running as fast as it could? Many deployments could run faster with just a few configuration changes.

For the past 30 years, service providers have built networks using technology that was limited in terms of speed, cost, and performance, leading them to seek a new solution. This blog addresses Cisco's 5G innovation in Routed Optical Networking and how it leads to profitable growth for network operators.

At a time when production from anywhere is a must, those that create, distribute, and secure content needed to pivot overnight, adopting new tech and workflows. This blog reviews the need to move to the cloud can provide agility and security for the new normal.

The NCS 5500 platform has become the go-to peering and aggregation device—down to the access layer—deployed for everything from mobile backhaul to wireline to cable network aggregation. New additions to the Cisco Converged SDN Transport architecture will help communication service providers to deliver new connected experiences quickly and at a massive scale.

To assist communication service providers with the evolution to the next-gen access and aggregation networks, we are excited to announce a few key additions to the NCS 500 portfolio.

With 5G deployments gaining traction, routers are now increasingly deployed in distributed, remote architectures and depended on as critical infrastructure. Cisco’s trustworthy platforms ensure customers can validate the authenticity of their devices in both hardware and software to help eliminate malicious access to the network and significantly improve the CSP’s security posture.

2020 put network infrastructures to the test. Work from home and streaming video pushed network traffic loads into the stratosphere. More and more endpoints connected to the network, as enterprises pushed hard to digitize their service offerings, and the rate of cyber-security threats, which continue to present a significant business risk, skyrocketed. While communication service […]
