can deploy to enable their network evolution. Providers that embrace openness will be able to select the technology solutions that best meet their needs in terms of operational fit, performance, power consumption, and telemetry, resulting in dramatically lower costs, increased agility, simpler scalability,
and a network architecture that is highly flexible, to take advantage of future innovations that may not be apparent today.

Scalability

Scalability in the Adaptive Network is required, as mobile device proliferation, streaming video, cloud computing, IoT, and the evolution to 5G will all put massive pressure on network capacity. Meeting the demand will require network capacity increases in orders of magnitude, as well as the need to respond to unpredictability in traffic patterns.
