The networking ecosystem has already witnessed the widespread deployment of SD-WAN topology, and indeed, this software-defined WAN optimization architecture has been one of the most discussed buzzword in the industry. In the current phase, most SD-WAN adopters have deployed their solution either on off-the-shelf devices or an integrated package of hardware and software from leading vendors in the market, or perhaps a managed SD-WAN solution leveraging some degrees of MPLS service. Driven by the technological and economical advantages, the SD-WAN momentum continues to penetrate the market, and recently, there has been an evolution of this virtualized, software-defined WAN architecture, which can be considered as the next phase of SD-WAN.

Without any doubt, SD-WAN has been one of the most dynamic technological innovations in the networking ecosystem. The software-defined networking architecture enables IT management with end-to-end visibility to monitor and control all the sites, which is also the reason why SD-WAN has rapidly replaced legacy router-based WAN architecture in recent years. SD-WAN helps businesses address the challenges in connectivity, agility and service availability for their global or remote branches.

Lanner's Jeans Tseng on ultra-slim uCPE with Luna-D125 and Enea NFV Access for cost-sensitive SD-WAN deployments.

 Lanner's Sven Freudenfeld gives his views on uCPE and the second generation SD-WAN, and the importance to have a scalable software platform like Enea NFV Access.

Substation automation has been essential for power grid to generate reliable and efficient energy supply to end consumers since it was first introduced in the 20th century. The early automation system was built in a traditional hierarchical architecture, and consisted of various proprietary equipments dedicated in gathering data from sensors. When the grid operators planned to expand their service coverage, the expansion often experience various technological limitations and piled up expenses in the procurement of vendor-specific equipments.

To prosper in today’s rapidly changing retail environment, merchants must meet customers on their terms. This means engaging consumers via social media, mobile commerce, text messaging, email, and other channels—including traditional brick-and-mortar shopping.

The previous evolutions of telecommunication technology, from 1G to the current 4G, have been developed to enhance communications and connectivity among human beings. Each generation was considered as a revolution in the field of information communication technology at the time it was launched. For instance, 1G pioneered the first mobile communication, despite its primitive data transfer rate. Since 2G, text messages became available and 3G allowed us to enjoy functions like web browsers and multimedia streaming began to emerge. The current 4G has been the tipping point of cloud computing, mobile Apps, social networks and SaaS (software as a service). The next generation, 5G, has been anticipated to realize the true potential of IoT (Internet of Things), which was also thought to be the first cellular technology to bridge between devices. However, some enterprises have already launched their IoT services and applications to customers in order to get ahead of the increasingly competitive market, and the reason behind their successful launch is Private LTE.
