Simulation of Networks
Adapting Networks for Growing Data Traffic: Network Simulation and Savings.
THE CHALLENGE.
The continuously growth in data traffic is a real challenge for operators. Several services adding traffic to the operator's networks
-
Streaming services like Netflix or YouTube
-
Video conferencing like Teams or WebEx
-
Online gaming platforms

Social networks
-
Expectation is still, that some services will exponentially develop
On top, web giants like Amazon and Google showing it is possible to save OPEX and CAPEX using Web Scale Technologies to deliver services, content and traffic. Operators must reconsider new network topologies, disaggregated infrastructure and smarter locations of caching systems to win the battle. However changes of this significance comprise risks which might lead to additional spending.
