With pluggable networking and functional disaggregation upon us, true freedom from vendor lock-in via multi-vendor, multi-technology software control of the network ecosystem will dramatically speed the innovation of high-capacity applications. By making every network layer and device look the same on a common console for discovery, inventory, analysis, assurance, and control, all ICT participants can be more relevant, efficient, and impactful, while always building on best-in-class solutions.

Telecommunication technologies provide the base to which society operates on a day-to-day basis. Without it, humanity would lack in its societal functions, including how communications are delivered and received, national security, and the ability to connect specific geographical areas.

Absolutely. If companies never innovated their organization and offerings, where would the industry be? In today’s world, you have to consistently be progressing in a way that supports not only past technologies and innovations but future assets as well. If not, there would be no LTE, 5G, etc.

The world is geographically large and diverse, but with the convergence of smarter, more flexible, packet-optical technologies and artificially more intelligent software control, everyone should be interested in the global use cases that are solving real problems for providers and consumers of network solutions. There is much to learn, and much that is applicable to the challenges everyone faces today in quickly, safely, and efficiently enabling higher capacity, lower latency, and wired and wireless connectivity everywhere. Don’t reinvent the wheel, put knowledge to work more quickly, and PTC is an excellent vehicle to make that happen!

LightRiver has been committed to recruiting college graduates to its ranks for more than 10 years, bringing those with genuine curiosity and passion quickly through the hierarchy to positions of responsibility, respect, and consequence. They have learned from us, as we are eager to learn from them. Twenty-first century network solutions are dynamic, interesting, and meaningful, with the real opportunity to transform the experience of the consumer of that data, including the performance of both large and small corporations, but also the lives of people emerging from the twentieth century across the globe. If one is inclined to always be learning and using communications technology to dynamically solve real-world problems, take a look at ICT and learn more about how PTC bridges oceans.
