Not only will 2020 see a huge number of 5G smartphone upgrades, it will also see hundreds of millions of used device trade-ins. This exclusive report will reveal: The extent of the used device deluge facing operators, OEMs […]
Just a few years ago, service providers were adapting to consumers’ growing use of mobile devices and introducing solutions to secure not just computers, but smartphones and tablets. Fast forward to today, and consumers are quickly acquiring smart thermostats, light bulbs, TVs, gaming consoles and other connected things. What was once a trend in multi-device […]
This new report by F-Secure explores consumer views on identity theft and cyber crime. According to an F-Secure survey, most people think they’ll likely be victims of identity theft or cyber crime. And with good reason. Criminals who get hold of personal data data try anything from hacking our critical accounts to taking over our […]
Network slicing is fundamental to make 5G networks successful. This whitepaper introduces the concept of network slicing and provides an overview of three primary 5G service types and core network functions. It also highlights how operators and network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) can take a lead on the competition by adopting test and measurement solutions available […]
The cloud-native approach describes a way of modernizing existing applications and building new applications based on cloud principles, using services and adopting processes optimized for the agility and automation of cloud computing. This e-book describes detailed steps as a part of a successful journey from where you are today to adopting a cloud-native application approach. […]
The need for in-building wireless connectivity is increasingly a strategic requirement for enterprise communications and business applications. These are already in heavy use due to the advent of smartphones and LTE, and they will become even more critical with 5G. Operators, however, do not have the resources to “light up” every major commercial building. Neutral […]
Operators are looking to optimize their costs while increasing their 4G/5G network capacity to meet the ever-increasing demand for data. Among the strategies being employed is the use of various antenna technologies to enable higher data rates. These include multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) techniques such as beamforming, as well as the use of multibeam and active […]
The 5G Fronthaul Handbook is a guide to understanding the impact of 5G on transport networks and key test considerations for ensuring reliable performance and high quality of service. 5G technology is touted as an innovation platform that will enhance our connected world. To deliver on this promise, 5G will demand the network supporting it […]
Disparate operations support systems (OSS) and business support systems (BSS) lack scalability and limit the value of network and application data. IT teams need federated access to legacy systems and data, while developers and partners need secure, easy access to systems. An application programming interface (API)-centric approach to integration, secured via API management, addresses these […]
To help business executives and network professionals understand the path to 5G implementation and adoption, VIAVI is pleased to introduce a new book, Understanding 5G: A Practical Guide to Deploying and Operating 5G Networks. The latest in our series of 5G industry references, Understanding 5G explores the revolutionary architecture and describes how each segment of […]
Our work of tomorrow is going to look vastly different from the work we do today. Artificial intelligence (AI) is augmenting workers in certain roles, and soon this trend will expand to the vast majority of the workforce, allowing humans to do the work that matters and, in the process, vastly improving workforce productivity and […]
As CSPs transform to enable more on-demand, customizable digital services, the primary hurdle remains how to remove legacy network silos. This white paper reviews open source-based tools that enable fully automated, end-to-end networks across MPLS, Optical, IP and Cloud resources. By merging network resources, CSPs are learning how to thrive in this dynamic market place without the fear of vendor lock-in.
5G promises an extreme broadband experience with ultra-high reliability, low-latency, and massive scalability, enabling a wide range of new use cases. This is a significant opportunity to build more compelling offers for consumers and enterprises, but also to do this profitably. This presentation discusses the need for service providers to leverage a monetization solution that is designed to address the requirements of 5G-enabled use cases and […]
The future of telecommunications operations and business support systems (OSS/BSS) is automated. To meet this challenge, communications service providers (CSPs) are modernizing their OSS/BSS architecture and transforming into digital service providers (DSPs). ACG Research identifies the steps for implementation and recommends an agile, cloud native, microservices-based environment powered by managed open source software with advanced […]
The deployment of 5G NR brings new performance and applications but it also is the first global adoption of TDD networks where the downlink and the uplink use the same frequency; meaning that downlink signals can mask interference. Download this Application Card and discover: Why 5G networks entail new challenges How to identify and locate […]
