It’s all things 5G at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, which included separate announcements by Verizon and AT&T in regards to gearing up their SD-WAN offerings for 5G.
Given that 5G deployments are in the infancy stage this year, it will be a while before either AT&T’s or Verizon’s SD-WAN in 5G plans reach fruition, but both are seeking to plant stakes in the ground around 5G and SD-WAN.
Both AT&T and Verizon are well versed in deploying SD-WAN to their business customers. At the MEF18 conference in Los Angeles in December, AT&T’s Josh Goodell said that 5G was the next frontier for SD-WAN.
