5G service provider networks are evolving to incorporate telco edge, convergence, ORAN/vRAN, mobile edge computing (MEC), network slicing, and other innovations. At the same time, cloud providers are propelling advancements across the entirety of the service provider ecosystem, and there is a worldwide increase in partnerships between communication service providers (CSPs) and hyperscalers. Nevertheless, it's essential to recognize the unique characteristics of telco workloads and network requirements, which differ significantly from IT and enterprise sectors. One vital yet often underappreciated aspect is transport connectivity, especially within the realm of the public cloud.
Early in this evolution, DISH Wireless is a true pioneer. The operator launched the world's first 5G network using a hybrid cloud and has the distinction of being the first O-RAN-based operator in the U.S. In this special webinar, DISH Wireless and Cisco Systems speakers will discuss 5G cloud-ready transport ready for "5G Advanced & 6G" and how the architecture applies to DISH's pioneering hybrid cloud network buildout.
Webinar topics will include:
Prevailing global trends in 5G service provider networks, including telco edge, convergence, ORAN/vRAN transport architectures, mobile edge computing (MEC), and network slicing
CSPs' unique requirements and benefits in forming public cloud partnerships with global hyperscalers
What 5G cloud-ready transport means and how it benefits CSPs
Insights from DISH Wireless on its own innovative hybrid/multi-cloud transport networking strategy
Key takeaways from DISH Wireless and Cisco and thought about the forward trajectory of hybrid/multi-cloud and the role of converged transport
Speakers:
Sterling Perrin, Senior Principal Analyst – Optical Networks & Transport, Heavy Reading
Waris Sagheer, CTO, Routing Architecture, Cisco Systems Inc.
Ash Khamas, Principal Architect 5G Technology Development, DISH Wireless
