From the early days of networking when we were dealing with the first terrestrial and submarine cables, all the way up to now, the evolution we’ve seen in network architectures and management has been constant. There is no other industry like ours in the telecoms arena; none with a faster or more dramatic evolution.

Despite these constant changes, not all of them have been successful. We can all remember failures like ISDN or ATM, who promised to pave the future Information Society. Others, like ADSL, FTTH or Ethernet, DWDM, and SD-WAN, have all become standard in the global networking market after a long adoption process.

Now, we are in the middle of the next big step in networking’s evolution: NaaS. With this technology, we’re capable of creating local or global networks on the go with just a few clicks on an operator console, giving enterprises the ability to transform their core business.

Ten years ago, Megaport was a pioneer in this technology. Today, after worldwide adoption and evolution, we offer a feature-rich NaaS platform to thousands of customers.

In this presentation, we’ll explore the state of NaaS today and show you the tangible possibilities it offers in the global telecommunications market.
