# RAN agnostic lit fronthaul augmented with optimized multi-layer 5G xHaul

## Watch On-Demand!

5G is much more than just another mobile generation, it will take mobile to another level with the services it is architected to support. However, supporting these services is not just about the radio, it requires an evolutionary step in the transport network to become a dynamic, multilayer 5G -xhaul network . In this on-demand webinar, we explain why.

Join [**David Stokes**](https://ribboncommunications.com/company/about-us/thought-leaders/david-stokes)**,** Ribbon's Senior Marketing Manager; **Glenn Yallaly**, Ribbon's Business Development Director as well as special guests [**Sam Lisle**](https://ribboncommunications.com/company/about-us/thought-leaders/sam-lisle), Business Development Director for IP and Optical Transport; and **Ivan Bykov**, Ribbon's Senior Manager – Mobile and Service Provider Solutions to learn more!

**Key Topics for Discussion:**

- The Trends in Unified 4G/5G xHaul for Mobile Operators and Transport Operators
- Why lit fronthaul solutions are so important for 5G  and why these need to be agnostic to the RAN
- Why xHaul needs intelligent automation of a seamlessly integrated multilayer set  IP and Optical networking resources
- Why providing dynamic and yet deterministic connectivity to Core functionality dynamically located in a MEC or Core of the network  is key to supporting advanced service opportunities
