5G xHaul refers to fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul transport networks that interconnect cell sites to each other, to mobile core networks, and ultimately to data centers, where end-user data and content is hosted and accessed. Take a closer look at each part of the 5G xHaul network in this three-part blog series from Ciena’s Brian Lavallee.
From cell site to core, Ciena’s enhanced xHaul router portfolio ensures your end-to-end network delivers reliability and performance while you scale and automate your existing 4G networks. Transition to high-performance 5G networks leveraging a common network infrastructure, minimizing risk on the way to a faster ROI.
5G network architectures are inherently more dynamic, scalable, and virtualized than their predecessors. With Blue Planet’s standards-based, vendor-agnostic automation software, critical solutions like network slicing and dynamic inventory help bring 5G to market faster, lower costs, and monetize 5G investments. Accelerate your journey to zero-touch 5G networks.
5G brings increased IP complexity to the network’s edge. Ciena’s Adaptive IP was designed to simplify your journey, using purpose-built routers that leverage programmability, automation, and analytics to deliver the agility you need and flexibly allocate network resources for maximum performance and return.
From knowing where and how to deliver new services to managing and monitoring new infrastructure, Ciena Services is your trusted partner for addressing current and future network needs. Let our team help you maximize your 4G/5G network investments throughout their lifecycle.
