Why 5G Transport
- Unleash 5G with truly open transport optimizing connections between access networks and the RAN.
- Cisco 5G Transport is a proven architecture that delivers mobile 3G, 4G, 5G, and wireline services over one common, simple IP transport infrastructure. It provides improved network timing, quality-of-service, resiliency, and security. Software defined, open RAN and packet core configurations give you the freedom and flexibility to direct services across any transport throughout your entire network.
- The architecture connects all categories of the mobile network infrastructure, including fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul. It utilizes a unified forwarding plane with traffic steering capabilities, statistical multiplexing across the network, and consistent end-to-end operations administration and maintenance (OAM) to deliver the most efficient use of resources with scalability.
- Purpose-built for software defined 5G mobile networks that support enhanced mobile broadband, ultra low-latency, and massive IOT use cases.
