Having entered the market at a similar time, the two latest wireless standards 5G NR and Wi-Fi 6, both address the acute need for advanced connectivity. Each one boosts the bandwidth and capacity for both today’s and tomorrow’s networks, and both are faster than their predecessors (4G/LTE and Wi-Fi 5), more energy-efficient, and capable of […]
Domos Wi-Fi Slicing is a machine learning technology that makes Wi-Fi networks application-aware. With Wi-Fi Slicing, the network can adapt dynamically to each application and each user requirement. Domos trains the machine learning algorithms and licenses them to partners that deploy on regular Wi-Fi router/gateways. After deployment, the algorithms can run autonomously on the gateway, […]
International telecom fraud is a skeleton in the closet for mobile operators worldwide, resulting in significant revenue losses and reputational damage. Fraud attacks on international voice and roaming traffic often take place using sophisticated techniques on the home network or while roaming, making detection almost impossible. This use case looks at how mobile operators can […]
New research by AvidThink sponsored by Amdocs, explores the drivers and challenges of dynamic network functions (NF) placement and proposes a pragmatic three-phase approach for the service provider journey to autonomous NF placement. NF placement optimization in a dynamically-changing mobile network environment is challenging. It’s even more complex for 5G, given the need to guarantee […]
How do you measure electromagnetic pollution from mobile networks? The deployment of 5G and associated new technologies such as beamforming and millimetre wave have raised health concerns among the population and government organizations. Electromagnetic field (EMF) measurements are becoming essential to ensure that the total radiated power and electromagnetic pollution is below a certain threshold. […]
Beamforming antennas are an essential tool for mobile operators as they build out their networks for capacity and 5G NR. For radio planners tasked with developing 5G and capacity build-out strategies, it is critical to have a full understanding of beamforming antenna capabilities, including the variations and appropriate use cases for each type. Without this […]
This report focuses on connectivity as the foundation of Industry 4.0 and hones in on return on investment (ROI) and cost of inaction(COI) for Industry 4.0 implementation in factories and warehouses. It also helps to provide more depth on five specific use cases for manufacturing: mobile robots, condition-based monitoring, asset tracking, augmented reality, and provisioning […]
This white paper explores how space-based solutions for cellular backhaul have become essential for overcoming these connectivity challenges and provides recommendations for how mobile operators can quickly bring more people online to grow their businesses today.
Container development promises unprecedented portability and scalability in the cloud using tools like Kubernetes. In addition, DevOps development and cultural practices increase business value and responsiveness. However, there are many questions to consider before starting your first container development project: What operating system should we use? Should we build or buy a production-ready Kubernetes platform? […]
Rakuten Group is a Japanese internet services company that has been dubbed “the Amazon of Japan”. It offers a huge range of services from banking and credit cards to e-commerce, travel and video entertainment, with 1.4 billion “members” worldwide. Why did a retail giant decide to become a mobile operator? Does Rakuten see this as […]
Everyone talks about cloud native operational and business support systems (OSS/BSS), but how many communications service providers (CSPs) are actually using them? Most telco CEOs are convinced that their companies must transition into digital service providers, and they understand that part of this transformation requires cloud migration. The challenge for CSPs, however, lies in converting […]
As 5G moves to service deployment in the field, engineers, technicians and installers need to deal with all the challenges of ensuring that rollouts meet both the profitability and the staggering advances in service levels expected. Validating the 5G technology that cuts across all aspects of the network—core, transport, radio access network (RAN), and the […]
What are the key execution capabilities needed for service providers to strengthen their enterprise position? To capture real perspectives and priorities, we engaged in strategic discussions with selected service providers globally. Get insights from these engagements, along with a detailed analysis on how to capture 5G business opportunities beyond mobile broadband, in this report. Topics […]
Data consumption in mobile networks is still growing enormously. To meet this high traffic demand, new spectrum was allocated (e.g. in the 3.5 GHz range) and 5G NR commercial rollouts started in 2019. The eGuide leads you through the most important aspects of 5G network testing and covers the following points in detail: 5G market, drivers and […]
Wireless Access has been used successfully for many years to deliver Internet services to mainly rural areas. Thanks to recent developments in LTE, CBRS and 5G wireless, broadband access is now a viable alternative to wired broadband connections. Sub-6 GHz 5G NR wireless connectivity can provide a quality 50-200 Mbps service, while 5G NR mmWave […]
Edge computing’s benefits to data security, latency and bandwidth are making possible a host of new use cases across a swathe of industries. WWT’s new research, conducted with Analysys Mason, reveals the scale of the Edge opportunity by highlighting 30 use cases expected to deliver significant revenues and that really is just the tip of the iceberg.
Making these use cases a reality is the topic of the final podcast in our series on Edge computing for telecoms service providers, created by WWT in partnership with Telecoms.com.
In this episode, Telecoms.com editor Scott Bicheno is joined by WWT’s EMEA Chief Technologist for Service Providers Daniel Valle and Intel’s Senior Solution Architect Larry Horner. Their conversation gets into the nitty-gritty, exploring what enterprises are already doing with Edge, taking in examples such as high-resolution cameras in industrial QA and data security in remote healthcare. They discuss what makes Edge so well suited to these applications, and why telcos are essential to their success.
As Larry says, no-one’s data gets to the cloud without going through service providers. But the opportunity is much greater than that. This discussion highlights why telcos should look to move from offering connectivity to providing use cases and outcomes, and how the right partnerships can help them turn the complex ecosystem of Edge hardware, software and connectivity into enterprise-ready platforms and solutions.
To understand the ability of a 5G network slice to support a particular use case such as Industry 4.0 or Augmented Reality, it is necessary to measure the key performance parameters of throughput, latency and continuity.
