The 5G shakeup has already started in many markets. Service providers are actively considering how they can evolve from being primarily consumer – oriented providers of voice, text and data to become much more business – and enterprise-focussed, enabling a more diverse range of B2B2x services. This paper discusses network slicing, partner ecosystems, enterprise marketplaces […]
As service providers continue to evolve their networks to support the ever-growing demand for content, and as video delivery shifts from broadcast technologies (QAM) to IP, solutions are needed for flexible and adaptable network deployments. Distributed access architecture (DAA) is the next step in a 20+ year evolution. In this white paper you will learn […]
Edge computing is a hot topic: a buzzy area at the confluence of numerous other buzzy areas in technology, including cloud, 5G and IoT. And crucially, it’s one that enterprise decision makers are taking very seriously indeed.
That’s why WWT partnered with Telecoms.com to record a three-part podcast series exploring enterprise Edge computing for telecoms service providers.
In the first of these podcasts, Telecoms.com editor Scott Bicheno is joined by WWT’s EMEA Chief Technologist for Service Providers Daniel Valle and Dell Technologies EMEA GTM Manager Telco/5G Eric van Vliet. They discuss enterprise attitudes to Edge and the $17bn revenue opportunity it represents, based on findings from new research conducted with Analysys Mason. They also delve into why telcos infrastructure and experience make them so well positioned to capitalise on the Edge ecosystem.
After touching on other hot topics such as OpenRAN, they conclude that the Edge opportunity is great, but so is the complexity of the space. That complexity, and the fact that telcos are not currently front-of mind for enterprise Edge deployments, make forging the right partnerships essential for any telco eager to grab a slice of the Edge pie.
Don’t miss the following two podcasts in the series, which will be available on 18/6 and 2/7.
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. Compounding this is uncertainty around low cost 2G/3G network longevity and confusion about 4G and 5G options. This paper examines […]
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 […]
Telecommunications service providers must reinvent themselves to overcome multiple challenges in an ever-shifting market landscape. Red Hat has developed an open NFV solution for service providers, providing a scalable, high-performance, and reliable platform based on the NFV reference architecture. The Red Hat® NFV solution helps transform networks, infrastructure, and the organization itself, allowing service providers […]
Telenor’s multi-vendor NFV initiative, including Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®, helps transform business, IT, and networks for greater efficiency. This Analysys Mason paper shows how Telenor NFV reduces cost and complexity despite high rates of traffic growth and lays the foundation for 5G and innovation in telecommunications.
Developers need resources provisioned for them quickly so they can get started on the next big idea. Operations need to maintain security and reliability in their infrastructure. Together, using hybrid cloud, multicloud, container, and Kubernetes technologies, IT can provide the agility and stability needed to deliver services faster. Red Hat® open source technologies provide a […]
5G can mean increased revenues – if operators have the correct systems in place to enable them to quickly make the most of the new revenue opportunities. In order examine the system developments that are needed Openet have teamed up with leading analyst firm Omdia to produce a white paper on 5G monetisation. This paper […]
Many different and fragmented proprietary scores have swept the market over the years and the methods of scoring are not transparent. Therefore, the ETSI STQ group has harmonized the process and released the technical report TR 103559, which defines best practices for network QoS benchmark testing. The Network Performance Score (NPS), which is integrated in […]
This white paper describes edge computing from a CSP perspective, – how a solution is built up, the key industry challenges and how CSPs can choose different roles and deployment strategies when addressing opportunities. Depending on their market position and type of use case provided, they can choose an optimal model or a combination of […]
There are over 1 billion cellular IoT connections today in 2020, and Ericsson forecasts around 5 billion connections by 2025. With 5G in the market, almost every industry is exploring the potential of cellular connectivity for fundamentally transforming businesses. This paper presents a clear evolution path for CSPs to address all 5G-IoT use cases, from […]
Introducing the 5GS to provide mobile broadband (MBB) in an existing 4G EPS network has significant impacts across all network domains – from the RAN, to packet core, user data and policies, and services – as well as backend systems. This Ericsson Technology Review article provides an overview of all the aspects that CSPs need […]
Security is one of the most significant barriers to IoT deployment, together with funding, interoperability and the business model . Fraud is growing in this area, and industry leaders across the ecosystem agree that securing the IoT application is the only way to fully develop its business potential. The good news is that the vast […]
