NANOG's video: Key Technologies for 5G Transport Networks

5G has finally become a reality, with now over 200 live networks worldwide. Mobile operators have worked hard in the last 2 years to achieve that goal by deploying new radios, new core elements and upgrading their existing IP transport networks. These upgrades involve adding end-to-end capacity with higher speed interfaces as well as introducing some important new functionality to fully enable 5G. The session will describe the key technologies required to prepare IP networks for 5G such as Fronthaul transport and packet-based synchronization, and show how operators can leverage common IP Routing concepts to implement 5G Network Slicing in their networks.
