Global 5G connections will surpass one billion this year and one of the biggest shifts we expect is with Metro Networks, where architectures will need to evolve to support new revenue generating or cost saving technologies such as Edge Computing and Cloudification. Combining networking technology solutions and end-to-end network integration and professional services, Juniper and NEC have been partnering for many years to help operators transform their networks. Learn how both companies are currently partnering to offer a joint turn-key solution that provides operators with a smooth migration path from their existing traditional metro architectures to a new type of metro architecture, called Cloud Metro, which is scalable, agile, lowers TCO and is optimized for sustainable business growth.

This webinar will explore the new paradigm shift of Metro Networks and the global system integrator’s role in the 5G era with a case study of one operator’s Metro Network transformation. The webinar will also answer the following questions:

• What factors are driving this paradigm-shift of Metro Networks and how do operators need to prepare?
• What does the new Metro Network look like and how do automation and AI capabilities reduce OpEx and outages in the field?
• What is the role of the global system integrator in the 5G era to support network transformation?
• What are best practices for operators who want to take the path to “unlock their network for the 5G era” by making a global system integrator one of their strategic business partners?
• What are the learnings from a real operator’s Metro Network transformation?
