Building the future with software-based 5G networking
MIT Technology Review December 15, 2021
A “Cambrian explosion” of opportunity in 5G networking has researchers optimistic about the viability of not just real-time data, but real-time networking.
Next-generation solutions and products are hitting a wall with wi-fi: it’s not fast enough, and latency and connectivity issues mean it’s not reliable enough. What’s an innovator to do? Focus on what’s next: 5G and software-defined networking.
Nick McKeown, senior vice president and general manager of the network and edge group at Intel Corporation says this technical leap is what will make future innovation possible, “Once you’ve got a software platform where you can change its behavior, you can start introducing...
