5G Cloud-Ready Converged Transport

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:

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
