The communications industry is facing a tenfold increase in wireless traffic between 2011 and 2016. More than ever, service providers must efficiently scale their networks to deliver high-quality user experiences and new revenue-boosting services-all while tightly managing capital and operating expenses. Intel offers flexible and scalable solutions designed to meet these challenges.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) are enabling network functions to be consolidated onto standard, high-volume servers, switches and storage, thereby reducing equipment and operational costs, and time to market for new services.
SDN and NFV enable a flexible networking architecture that allows network operators to react more quickly and economically to an ever-evolving market landscape.
