SD WAN and Edge Compute (based on Universal CPE) all add intelligence and flexibility into the network, driven by the growing number of virtualised services and cloud based applications. This need for intelligence will drive further innovation, potentially combining with technologies such as Artificial Intelligence to automate tasks, or spot problems before they occur.
The future network will be intelligent, secure, fully-automated and software defined, with real-time provisioning, offering unmatched flexibility, agility and ease of management.
