摘要
随着亚太地区的国家和机构持续推进物联网的计划与部署,在对连接的数量与完善程度提出更高要求的同时,也将对网络基础设施带来重大影响。作为物联网的互补技术,5G可实现更快的数据传输速度,大幅度减少网络延迟,并显著提升网络容量。然而,兑现5G时代的承诺需要面对围绕各类物联网部署相关的成本问题及复杂性方面的挑战。例如,是否应构建独立的网络以满足不同用例需求?网络运营商和企业应该明白,为每类设备部署独立网络的做法不仅会增加复杂性和成本,而且也可能影响网络安全。因此,许多运营商己经开始将无线和有线网络进行结合,这一方法又称“网络融合”。网络融合的优势包括通过光纤网络实现物物相连以简化连接,在具备必要时切换其他模式的灵活性的同时,大幅节省部署总成本。兼具灵活性与前瞻性的网络融合,可助力更多新技术的实现。
As nations and organizations in APAC continue to roll out IoT initiatives and implementations,this will drive an increased demand for better and more connections which will have a significant impact on the network infrastructure.As complementary technology for IoT,5G enables faster data transfer speeds,to vastly reduce network latency,and to greatly increase a network’s capacity.However,to fulfil the promise of a 5G era,there is a need to resolve numerous cost and complexity challenges around the various IoT deployments.For example,should there be separate,stand-alone networks that address different use case requirements?What network operators and enterprises should keep in mind is that deploying individual networks for each device type not only adds both complexity and cost but may also end up impacting network security.Many operators have already started down the road to combine both the wireless and wireline networks.This approach,termed Network Convergence,will bring benefits including significant savings in the total cost of deployment,by simplifying connectivity through fiber networks to connect everything while having the flexibility to use other modes.At the same time,the network remains flexible and future-proof to easily enable new technologies.
