Transport And SDN
Transport networks and software-defined networking form the backbone that connects radio access layers, data centers, and core network functions. Their performance determines latency, scalability, and service continuity across increasingly distributed 5G environments.
Operators are investing in high-capacity fiber, packet-optical transport systems, and SDN-enabled automation to support dynamic traffic flows and edge computing requirements. Software-defined control layers allow networks to allocate capacity more efficiently while enabling rapid service provisioning.
Integration between transport infrastructure, orchestration platforms, and edge computing systems is becoming critical for supporting advanced applications that require low latency and high reliability.
This section of the 5G Technology hub tracks transport architectures, automation strategies, infrastructure investment, and vendor positioning shaping the connectivity backbone of next-generation telecom networks.
