The document discusses trends in mobility and the Internet of Things that are driving demands for new network infrastructure from businesses. It presents a case study of a steel factory implementing a virtualized network solution from Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise to securely connect various IoT devices across different business units on one unified network. The solution provides network virtualization and segmentation capabilities to isolate IoT traffic while allowing for easy deployment and management of devices across the organization.
