The radio access network has been the focus of the wireless
industry since its inception. Innovation is alive today as the
industry extends to 4.5G and now 5G NR. Spectrum strategies
harness previously untapped millimeter wave spectrum along with
mid and low bands to prepare for the next generation of 5G
services. Traditional RAN architectures and paradigms are being
transformed by massive MIMO, CloudRAN, v-RAN and License Assisted
Access (LAA) initiatives to support the lightning fast speeds and
ultralow latency to drive use cases such as virtual/augmented
reality, massive IOT, autonomous vehicles and countless others.

The transmission network is the indispensable work horse of today’s networks. The high costs of construction and time to deploy give rise to many of the industry’s most intractable problems. Significant advances in optical, microwave and satellite technology strain to keep pace with today’s bandwidth, latency and reliability requirements. High costs continue to impede widespread deployment in rural/semi-rural areas around the world.
Capabilities
TeleworX has been a driving
force in the advancement of transmission networks for more than
two decades. From improving topology design via automated software
to research and lab testing of new technologies, TeleworX works on
the frontier of transmission networks. Our work with industry
partners on SDN and NFV architectures, built on commodity hardware
and open source software is changing performance and financial
metrics in urban and rural areas alike. While transmission
networks approach speeds of the 1Gbit/s to the user, much work
remains.
Our transmission engineers are steeped in
design of infrastructure and transmission networks for access,
metro and backbone for fixed and wireless service providers from
the most dense to the most sparsely populated regions of the
world.

The escalation of IP-based services, devices and traffic have
pushed the limits of modern networks. Future requirements will
further stress the limits of today’s technology. The industry is
moving at warp speed to rethink the very nature of IP devices and
networks. The most impactful changes are well underway in the form
of designing and building custom network elements based on open
software and commodity hardware.
On this front,
open-source initiatives are boosting the entry for hardware and
software innovations. Another key shift paradigm comes as
disaggregation of control and data plane that form the foundation
of software-based network technologies such as SDN and SD-WAN.
Furthermore, a higher degree of Network Automation has been
achieved on operational activities while connecting them with
business goals making use of Intent-based Networking.

Soaring traffic volumes, specialized use cases, new business
models, multi-access edge computing (MEC) are requirements driving
the definition and development of the 5G Core (5GC). Network
slicing alone, requires the rethinking and transformation of the
5GC.
Multiple standards organizations (SDOs), led by 3GPP
are crafting 5GC specifications with the integration of modern
paradigms such as NFV, SDN, Service Chaining, and cloud native as
necessary enablers to deliver the promise of 5G.
To
stay competitive, mobile operators will soon evolve their current
EPC core towards the 5G Core, facing a myriad of challenges
including architecture design, integration with new RAN
technologies, 4G/5G interworking and roaming.
