Track: Programmable Real-Time Networks |
| The importance of multi-technology Network Diversity |
| Ecologically, we understand the benefits of biodiversity. Future network infrastructure should also combine multiple different technological options: fibre, 5G, WiFi, satellite & other options. Both technologists and policymakers should look at avoid single points of failure, or monocultures, and instead foster a wide range of options. These may be both tightly coupled (converged) or separate (diverged) - there are arguments for both. This session looks at ways to exploit and improve network diversity. - Innovation, competition and avoidance of lock-in - Mitigation of supply-chain constraints - Resilience, backup & cybersecurity - Least-cost & lowest-energy routing - Lessons from Ukraine - Shifting roles of service providers, device suppliers and the end user |
