Speed is not a quick route to 5G revenues
The commoditization of the telecoms market means operators in most developed markets have no choice but to implement 5G and to implement it quickly.

Today’s 5G is non-standalone, which means that it relies on both the 4G core as well as the 4G RAN to function.
5G became a reality in the US in 2019, but 2020 will be the year when the technology really makes inroads in the US market.
More devices, more variables, more complexity – it is increasingly difficult to have end-to-end visibility and assess actual network issues in real time.
Existing legacy IT systems that support traditional products are not designed for dynamic 5G service.
The government must continue to play its vital role as a catalyst for full-fibre deployment, and it has made positive steps via funding schemes as well as addressing policies/regulations that acted as a bottleneck in deployment.
But, just because the technology – and it’s promises – are here, doesn’t mean that CSPs are ready for the first phase of mass adoption.
Digital transformation is one of the core buzzwords used in the telecoms industry and beyond, right up there with 5G, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. What sets digital transformation apart from the others is the sheer number of different things it can stand for.
The OpenRAN approach is achieved by separating hardware and software in the network. This helps networks support open interfaces and common development standards, to deliver multi-vendor, interoperable networks.
Whilst several Gulf states are among the first in the world to launch commercial 5G services, elsewhere in the region there are still a significant number of people with little or even no access to basic communications services.
The US government is putting pressure on other NATO countries to shun Huawei, causing Britain’s PM Boris Johnson to cry out ‘but what are the alternatives?’
This technology will transform messaging by taking its best functionality and giving it a 21st century upgrade.
The development and roll-out of 5G marks yet another era of unprecedented innovation in the telecoms sector, as well as in technology more widely.
If operators want to play the pivotal role in helping to financially include more than half the adults on our planet, and to share in the positive social and economic benefits of this role, they have to make their move in the next 12 months.
One of the more immediate revenue stream opportunities right now is wireless private networks, and the good news is that this opportunity doesn’t require 5G.
Communications service providers and the attendant vendor community are currently in a state of controlled panic.
Low internet penetration is particularly acute in the developing countries. While 81% of the population in the developed world are already using the internet, only 45% in the developing countries can do so.
Open source software in particular is key to 5G and the IoT developments, because the software can power the automation of mission-critical functions required to support the high speeds and low latency of 5G, as well as the huge number of endpoints in IoT.
5G trials and roll-outs will continue – especially in regions within Korea and Japan, which remain at the forefront of the tech evolution – but delivering international 5G roaming will require collaboration between and investment from operators globally.
When reflecting on the word service, it can clearly be defined as the act of serving. But who exactly are communication service providers (CSPs) serving?
