This report documents and helps improve the interoperability of commercial solutions for communication service provider(CSP) transport networks.

In this white paper, Heavy Reading explores the state of SR today: What is working and what's not? What is the industry doing to ensure broad, reliable adoption at scale for this promising new technology?

This ebook will help you better understand some of the technical considerations behind 5G deployment, how you can use intelligent automation to drive operational efficiency, and why real-time visibility is more important than ever for success in the field.

This report provides insights on the challenges CSPs should expect to face with the planning and optimization of 5G networks. It also highlights solutions that CSPs can adopt to address these challenges and best practices CSPs should consider when migrating their networks to 5G.

Heavy Reading's current SD-WAN Managed Service Survey looks at how SPs are building and managing their SD-WAN service-how they are monetizing the service, where they are encountering challenges, and where they see an opportunity for differentiation.

This Appledore Research case study looks at how Blue Planet Inventory has transformed operations at a major CSP and enabled massive operational efficiency improvement and the introduction of new SD-WAN products.

Service providers are on the path to digital transformation. Getting to that desired state, however, is no small feat when their networks continue to evolve and change over time. This paper looks at the critical role unified, dynamic inventory plays in driving automation, orchestration, analytics, and agility in service delivery and assurance across physical and virtualized networks.

In this paper, Appledore Research considers the importance of inventory's role today for Communication Service Providers (CSPs), and what that role will be tomorrow. Today's inventory systems have become too passive, manually intensive, and reactive to accommodate services comprising truly dynamic and changeable resources. This paper explores why an evolved, dynamic inventory will play a key role in enabling CSPs to transform operations and reap the full rewards of software-based networks.

This Heavy Reading paper examines the key assurance challenges operators anticipate for 5G, the monitoring capabilities they will need, and their top priorities for the automation of service assurance.
