Today’s Communication Service Provider (CSP) networks are becoming dynamic and heterogeneous. The requirement to constantly change network parameters and configurations to meet customer expectations creates huge amounts of complexity. The flexibility of 5G networks makes efficient network operation without high levels of automation impractical. Automation improves every aspect of CSP operations.
If CSPs want to unlock the potential of 5G networks, they need automation. Automation reduces error in network operations and service management and accelerates tasks.
These days, our home automation network is more loaded and congested, considering that there are more devices than ever connected to your home network. Ten years ago, it may have been a desktop computer and possibly a laptop.
Whereas now it’s likely to be smartphones, tablets, TVs, laptops, Bluetooth speakers, and more. These are all congesting your network, not to mention all the devices which also connect when you have guests over.
Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet. Data sent through the internet, such as a web page or email, is in the form of data packets. A packet is typically forwarded from one router to another router through the networks that constitute an internet work (e.g. the Internet) until it reaches its destination node.
The concept of Home Automation aims to bring the control of operating your every day home electrical appliances to the tip of your finger, thus giving user affordable lighting solutions, better energy conservation with optimum use of energy. Apart from just lighting solutions, the concept also further extends to have a overall control over your home security as well as build a centralised home entertainment system and much more. The Internet of Things based Home Automation system, as the name suggests aims to control all the devices of your smart home through internet protocols or cloud based computing.
