5G is not just faster than 4G, it is way more complex. And this means installation and turn-up is also much more involved. All the different pieces have to work together instantaneously. Things like beam forming with new antennas with massive MIMO, new frequency ranges, millimetre-wave and of course it also depends on how the […]
Internet of Things (IoT) projects are often part of enterprise digital transformation initiative. Technology convergence and the rapid pace of change of communications are making the choice of connectivity a critical decision for IoT solutions.

When calculated risks are successful, revenue and customer loyalty increase, and C-level executives get big rewards. This TMF report looks at both sides of risk and assesses different options for transforming BSS based on potential risk and rewards. The good news for operators is that there are many options for transformation, and they can choose […]
5G is expected to provide extraordinarily fast data rates and low latency, as well as enable many completely new services and products. In some specific cases, 5G as Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) can be a better alternative or a complement to traditional landline networks. However, many new challenges are coming with these new capabilities; for […]
TM Forum’s Digital Transformation Tracker 4 explores how a cultural change in IT is critical for communications service providers (CSPs). TM Forum surveyed nearly 150 executives, and found that most CSPs are optimistic about the future. However, cultural change is slow and difficult to scale. For instance, different agile development frameworks work well within CSP […]
