In one form or another the question: how can SD-WAN deliver the same reliability and redundancy as MPLS when it uses the public Internet? Catos cloud-native approach to SD-WAN not only matches MPLS reliability across the middle-mile, it offers better redundancy in the last-mile. MPLS doesnt provide active-active redundancy per se.

The fifth generation of wireless technology, more commonly being referred to as 5G, is marching towards commercialization. Performance is a key driver behind the movement, with 5G enabling: Greater throughput -- mobile broadband with bandwidth ranging from 50 Mbps to 10 Gbps. 5G and SDN Capabilities Intersect.

Market adoption is growing rapidly, and industry experts have declared a winner in the SD-WAN vs MPLS debate. For example, Network World called 2018 the year of SD-WAN , and before the end of Q3 2018 Gartner declared SD-WAN is killing MPLS. Reduced WAN Costs MPLS bandwidth is expensive. xDSL, cable, 5G, etc.)

In some cases, it might be an MPLS network, which is no longer suitable (or affordable) for the modern digital business. Our simple edge devices combine last mile transports, such as fiber, cable, xDSL, and 4G/5G/LTE. Controlling the routing and achieving MPLS-like consistency and predictability anywhere in the world.
