3GPP Release 16 provides new 5G opportunities
Release 16 is significant. For the first time a stipulation clearly demarcates a split between 5G data and 5G functions.

Telecoms.com periodically invites expert third parties to share their views on the industry’s most pressing issues. In this piece Roland Becker, Managing Director of Becker Io dicusses the potential for IoT in the MVNO space.
There are three key ways in which MNOs will help all the world navigate this crisis.
5G is also set to transform a sector that we all rely on as a matter of life or death: our emergency services.
For Network Operators and especially MVNO’s, eSIM also brings unique benefits.
Many brands have already brought to market large numbers of 5G devices, such as smartphones and hotspots. According to the latest tracking done by the GSA (Global mobile Suppliers Association), an industry organisation, over 250 devices had been announced by mid-March 2020, with 67 of them commercially available, including 40 smartphones. Half a year previously, the same tracking recorded only 100 public device announcements, with only nine 5G smartphones commercially available. The pace of new 5G device launches has clearly been accelerating.
Shipments of new devices will continue once factories re-open and the necessary parts can be sourced again. But what wider impact will we see?
The ultimate success of private networking deployments will lie in the ability for it to be delivered as an integrated solution.
There is some confusion in the market at the moment when someone asks for an eSIM.
Native messaging based on RCS is the next evolution of operator-led SMS and will play an essential role at the heart of the new messaging ecosystem.
In 2019, 5G came into the world. Now, 5G is now a mainstream topic of conversation, not just within the telecom industry but in wider consumer and enterprise communities as well.
Fifth generation mobile technology – 5G – promises to deliver a step change in connectivity; not just mobile connectivity, but connectivity full stop.
Change is happening across the entire network – in the core, in the RAN and in supporting OSS and BSS.
ICPs, telcos, and enterprises are all building data centres as well as seeking extra capacity through third parties as they extend and expand their scale and service offerings.
Northern cities such as Manchester and Leeds have produced unicorns of their own and continue to achieve significant growth.
Recently, research powerhouse Omdia and 5G MENA completed their annual market survey
There is some confusion in the market at the moment when someone asks for an eSIM.
Traditional telco billing/charging systems were built for a simpler world, where services are often measured in minutes and megabytes.
The single biggest change in the telecoms landscape over the last year was that commercial 5G networks went live around the world. More than 50 networks in over two dozen countries had switched on 5G services by the end of 2019. Subscriber uptake was already faster than the same period when 4G was first introduced, according to data released by the South Korean operators. The research firm Ovum (now part of Omdia) predicted that over 1.3 billion subscribers are expected to sign on 5G by 2023.
Has NFV proved more difficult to implement that anyone thought? Were the benefits less than we hoped? Or has NFV just been quietly getting on with it?
