About this talk

5G isn't just a faster cellular technology. It has several characteristics that are driving WAN transformation in 2020 and beyond. For the first time in over decade, enterprise architects have a new arrow in the WAN technology quiver--which means it's time to rethink WAN design. Specifically, 5G delivers: * High bandwidth. Gigabit-speed bandwidth enables 5G services to work as alternate WAN connectivity options * Low latency. 10X reduction in latency means 5G works well for sensitive applications like IoT and multimedia * WAN-friendly pricing. Carriers are rolling out pricing structures that allow WAN architects to build out predictable-cost networks based on 5G * Embedded security. With the right products, 5G can deliver embedded security at the physical layer. Finally, SD-WAN enables enterprise users to mix and match 5G and wireline technologies for optimal performance. Find out how enterprise organizations are taking advantage of 5G's capabilities, together with SD-WAN, to deliver WAN transformation.
