Cisco Unveils New '5G Now' Portfolio For Service Providers

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- Cisco Systems Inc has announced its '5G Now' portfolio for service providers, offering emerging new services at significant faster speeds, expanded capacity and stronger coverage.

Cisco uniquely offers its customers a cloud-to-client approach for 5G networking, resulting from its investments and commitment to developing cloud applications and services, to help customers unify multi-vendor solutions into a single, standards-based architecture.

Multi-cloud, intellectual property core, 5G packet core and service edge, access, client services, security and professional services are the key elements in the portfolio.

"4G was about buying connectivity, and 5G is about buying experiences," said senior vice-president and general manager, Service Provider Business, Cisco, Yvette Kanouff.

"5G creates a new environment for service creation, giving operators what they need to deliver next-level entertainment experiences. Only Cisco has the services, infrastructure and automation portfolio to support our global customers with their 5G initiatives," she said.

The 5G services accommodate more than 27 billion connected devices expected on service provider networks by 2021. Beginning 2020, 5G connections will grow more than a thousand per cent from 2.3 million in 2020 to over 25 million in 2021.
