"Advancements in Enterprise Networks: Remote Connectivity, AI Support, and Wi-Fi 6 Deployment"

Enterprise networks are progressing in flexibility, throughput and intelligence. This is shown by the 3 Alcatel Lucent white papers, which detail the evolution of the interconnection of remote sites, the improvement in performance and the increase in speed, in particular with wifi 6 and wifi 6E.

Three major advances in 2023

On the connection side of remote sites, the implementation of telecom services becomes more flexible thanks to SD-Wan software (Software-Defined Wide Area Network). The SD-Wan brings a better granularity of parameterization of the flows of data going until the support of the connected objects. Cost savings can be as high as -70% Alcatel-Lucent peak while improving performance and security.

At the same time, artificial intelligence is gaining ground to support corporate network managers. It’s time for predictive maintenance and automated fixes to improve operational efficiency through early anomaly detection. Analyzing similar defects helps support teams reduce resolution times and reduce repercussions. The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Technical Assistance and Support Center hosts a repository that has 66% of known network issues and recommended configurations to resolve them.

Finally, Alcatel-Lucent details the six rules to follow in order to deploy and get the most out of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E networks.
