Our world is not slowing down, and neither are the networks that support it. Exponential bandwidth growth and an ever-increasing demand for new services and applications can strain even the most robust infrastructure. But there is a solution. A single, converged fiber-deep infrastructure can handle the requirements of multiple network technologies, including LAN, cellular, video, and building management systems. With convergence, you are protected from a rip-and-replace upgrade cycle, left instead with a simplified technology-neutral and future-ready solution. And who better to help than Corning, the company who helped launch the age of optical communications and continues to change the world in which we live.

The Dilemma of More: Is your network ready for future demands?
The practical IoT: Planning and designing for the arrival of the Internet of Things
Much has been written about the Internet of Things (IoT) over the last few years, discussing both the explosive growth projections in the number of attached devices and the anticipated value to global business that they will bring. The growth projections alone are staggering. From the chart in this article, you can see that the numerical growth from 2018 to 2019 is 3.52 billion IoT devices globally.
The possibilities seem endless, making it possible that 5G will be revolutionary rather than evolutionary in its demand on fiber infrastructure.
5G networks promise to connect people and things through intelligent networks and applications, all generating an immense amount of data. It seeks to provide the best of all performance factors while simultaneously connecting more devices. These network advancements will enable and inspire a new wave of computing and technological innovation that will change the way we live and work. But before 5G becomes a reality, the network infrastructure has to be in place to support the billions of devices and the trillions of megabits of data that will flood the network. Let's take a look at how 5G will impact optical-fiber requirements.

The Future of Wireless Networks
With the first 5G networks expected to be launched by 2020, we are only a few short years away from the next chapter of mobile communications. Learn more in this interview article with Corning's Juan Colina published in the FTTH Council MENA Annual Supplement 2017. www.ftthcouncilmena.org
Your Network Simplified. Fiber- and Power-Deep Network Topologies.
Would you like a new, simpler way of designing your building's IP network?
Designing your building's IP network, simply.
Corning’s in-building network solution is our visionary fiber- and power-deep topologies that anticipates 5G-ready connectivity inside buildings, with the ability to converge multiple technologies over a single, simplified infrastructure.
By combining the core in-building networks – Local Area Networks (LAN), power, and cellular – onto one fiber-based backbone, a comprehensive solution for Enterprise and Carriers is created. Simplified and scalable, our in-building network solution replaces multiple, independent, legacy-based category and coaxial cabling architectures, making them a thing of the past.
How does it work? By taking the inherent advantages of fiber and bringing it out from the IT closet, into and throughout the building and development infrastructure, our solution enables a high-performing fiber infrastructure that can deliver more services, applications, and enhanced features. It can handle the requirements of multiple network technologies, including: LAN, cellular, and video; Building managemenet systems: Software Defined Networks (SDLAN); and key applications such as: Distributed Antenae Systems (DAS), Small Cells, Wi-Fi, Surveilance, VoIP, IPTV, POS, and other internet-based applications.
