This pushes businesses to look into more innovative ways to deploy and maintain their networks. Here’s how the field is adapting to support critical infra of tomorrow.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing all aspects of our world, including critical infrastructure. AI powered predictive maintenance can find potential faults in the network before causing disruptions. By analyzing real-time data, AI helps predict outages and automate processes, minimizing downtime.
Integration of 5G and IoT
5G and IoT (Internet of Things) enable real-time data sharing, remote monitoring and improved decision-making. However, managing the increased complexity and ensuring seamless integration are key challenges that network administrators must still address. And as 6G looms on the horizon, promising even greater capabilities, network management will need to evolve to handle more advanced use cases.
Network security
Because of the sensitive nature of critical infrastructure, security should be every network owner’s top priority. Cyber threats targeting things like energy grids or water systems are becoming more and more sophisticated. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions ensure that only verified users and devices can access network management systems, protecting against potential sabotage.
Sustainability
It’s no news that as environmental concerns grow, sustainable network management practices are subsequently gaining traction. Energy-efficient technologies and intelligent power management are becoming standard practices. These innovations not only reduce costs but also align with global efforts to combat climate change.
