This paper presents how Telecom Service Providers can benefit from Tejas Networks’ SDN solutions which seamlessly help in the integration of diverse network elements. 5G is a revolutionary next-generation mobile network that pushes the envelope of existing transport systems. Using SDN, as an overarching framework, helps in meeting the stringent 5G requirements. It also clarifies how a well-tuned SDN network can overcome potential catastrophic outages by intelligently recalculating data flow routes on the fly and how the framework allows tremendous scalability and dynamic provisioning.
