Samsung's Amresh Singh and Ciena’s Joe Marsella discuss how Samsung and Ciena are working together to enable faster, pre-validated 5G network solution implementations.
To innovate next-gen networks, it’s important to have partnerships that combine best-in-class solutions to simplify and accelerate the transition to 5G. A good example of this is the recent partnership between Samsung and Ciena.
Ciena provides powerful xHaul designed to support new service offerings being brought to market in 5G. Samsung and Ciena are working together to offer hardware and software solutions to telecom operators by coupling Samsung’s 5G solutions with Ciena’s xHaul solution. This technology will enable the pair to support the large amounts of 5G data traffic at the edge within an increasingly distributed 5G architecture to support the next generation of high bandwidth applications and services.
Samsung and Ciena’s successful interoperability testing, including functional and performance testing, demonstrated that this solution will significantly speed up 5G deployments, taking advanced applications like network slicing and IoT to market sooner. As networks become more disaggregated, it’s imperative that operators know all their system components will work together seamlessly.
With Ciena and Samsung leading the way, operators and enterprise customers can be assured of smooth operations in the migration to 5G. This partnership targets both public and private 5G markets globally, offering solutions for mobile operators, neutral host providers, non-public operators, and enterprises. Listen to this Networks Tech Talk episode to learn more about this exciting partnership and how Samsung and Ciena are working to change the industry and help operators and enterprises.
