Mobile network traffic continues to increase exponentially. As 5G
networks become more agile and flexible to meet consumer and business
demands, the same trend is anticipated for the transport network that
5G relies on. The ability to create, activate, and deliver new services – such as network slicing, private networks – must be seamlessly configured and managed across all the network layers.

Transport is essential
for optimal 5G
for optimal 5G
The transport layer is fundamental for the reliability and assurance
of 5G network transport capacity and data flow throughout the RAN,
Edge, Cloud, and Core network.
Our transport solutions will help increase monetization opportunities by introducing various new services, such as network slicing, beyond the connection among the network elements (NEs) for the best 5G performance. Key reasons why transport is essential for 5G include:
Our transport solutions will help increase monetization opportunities by introducing various new services, such as network slicing, beyond the connection among the network elements (NEs) for the best 5G performance. Key reasons why transport is essential for 5G include:
-
· 5G transmits large amounts of high-speed data using a wider
frequency band than existing 3G and LTE networks. To process
the high volume of data, the wired
connection between the base station (BS)
and the datacenter must have fast transmission speed and high capacity. -
· 5G supports ultra-reliable, low-latency communication to provide
strong service through a stable connection. High-performing
transport can help minimize signal interference, failure, and loss,
maintain network stability, and reduce latency. - · With 5G, more devices are connected and more services are provided for users. 5G transport can provide efficient bandwidth allocation and quality of service (QoS) management for different service types.
As the number of network elements in a 5G network continues to grow,
optimizing the transport layer becomes critical to enable full end-to-
end interoperability, monitoring, and automation across all the
network layers. Software-defined networking (SDN) is a software-based
network architecture that communicates with underlying hardware
infrastructure to managed, control, and direct data traffic in the
network. It separates control and data planes of the network for
centralized control and efficient management of user traffic. By
supporting a variety of network management functions, SDN provides
visibility, control, and management of the network traffic on virtual
or hardware networks.
Samsung SDN fits everywhere
5G transport connects every network element. Samsung's transport
solution covering switches, routers, and SDN supports xHaul and telco
data center networks for telecom operators’ 5G network deployment and
fixed networks for enterprise customers.
Samsung's SDN solution is based on
cloud-native architecture, enabling the integration of various new micro-services easily and it enables integrated management of various vendors' equipment through one tool based on open interfaces such as NETCONF, SNMP, and REST.

Samsung SDN provides workflow-based automation as well as the various
FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security)
functions for network management, such as inventory, topology, alarm,
service assurance, and telemetry. Above all, it provides automation
for various scenarios, such as zero-touch provisioning, IP mobility,
quality of service, service assistance, and NOS management (upgrade,
rollback), so it can be deployed easily and quickly.
For end-to-end network slicing, one of the promising possibilities of
5G, Samsung SDN can play a key role in helping efficiently manage and
operate dynamic network slicing for slice creation, resource
allocation, and SLA management for the end-to-end 5G network including
RAN, Transport, and Core.
vCSR to efficiently utilize vRAN
With the rise of virtualized RAN, the use of commercial servers in
mobile networks is also expanding and Samsung is always looking for
ways to leverage idle resources within the servers. One key area is
converting cell site routers (CSRs), which currently exists as
separate hardware, into software and deploying them through commercial
servers. Utilizing a virtualized CSR (vCSR) can reduce CAPEX as it
replaces hardware-based CSR equipment and reduces operating costs
through automation based on SDN. In addition, a vCSR solution can
dynamically scale depending on bandwidth requirements. In addition,
complex applications such as IPSec and DPI can be easily added.
