5G

IoT is enabling better retail operations today, and will open the doors to safer experiences tomorrow. Here's where digital solutions are making an impact.

In this blog, we will explore who is going to benefit from 5G: from consumers to businesses to industries. As service providers make initial announcements around 5G, focusing on the value in the B2B market can unlock the most potential.

We’ve rolled out a solution that’s already proving its worth to mobile service providers. Cisco Ultra Traffic Optimization (CUTO) is an enticing alternative to deploying costly spectrum and adding cellular radio gear.

Over the last few years, we’ve invested heavily in bringing the benefits that make Cisco worldwide market share leaders in Core and Edge Routing deeper into the network. Our service provider-focused IOS-XR operating system and other advancements now let us reach all the way to the cell site router, right where the wireless customer hits the ground. And we’ve gone one step further by creating a flexible transport solution that integrates fronthaul and backhaul networks, combining the various wireless and wired technology into a packet-based SDN for 5G. This xHaul portfolio is at the core of our converged, end-to-end packet infrastructure, from the access layer into the application, wherever it may reside.

T-Mobile recently announced several milestone achievements in advancing its new 5G core network – and Cisco played a key role in helping them reach those milestones. Our partnership has yielded several 5G Standalone (SA) world-firsts which will ensure that T-Mobile customers have the very best connected experiences possible.

5G promises revolutionary new consumer experiences and lucrative new business-to-business (B2B) services that were never possible before. Today, Cisco is helping operators of all sizes to provide essential 5G services. Read in this blog how Cisco is helping competitive carriers deliver 5G services to equip them for future networks.

To maximize 5G profitability, service providers and application developers will need to rethink how their data sources and applications are distributed. Learn how a Cisco Distributed Data Center Architecture can help service providers increase revenues while reducing the cost per service.

Service Providers have a huge role to play in the connected future. How can they monetize their investment in building a network that allows their customers to experience all that 5G has to offer?

Today, World Wide Technology (WWT) announced a collaboration with Cisco, along with Altiostar, to develop an Open vRAN blueprint and validation lab and program for service provider networks.  I’d like to take a few minutes to explain why this agreement is significant for our service provider customers.
