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?
The announcement by Apple that its new iPhone XS, XS Max and XR handsets were to feature an e-SIM as part of a dual SIM configuration was meant to mark a watershed moment for embedded SIM technology.
Mobile broadband in the form of 4G and now 5G may have been grabbing the headlines for the past few years, but in the background the fixed line broadband market has been growing steadily, driven by both regulatory imperatives and operator expansion ambitions on the supply side, and the increasing use of bandwidth-hungry applications on the demand side.
New market analysis reveals how how critical the connected home market is becoming.
It’s been twenty years since Wireless Fidelity was invented and first released for consumers by the IEEE committee 802.11.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is opening up entirely new markets for mobile connectivity, and in doing so is reshaping the mobile industry ecosystem almost from scratch.
In all the noise and excitement surrounding 5G, we must remember that the majority of use cases and revenue opportunities for communications service providers (CSPs) are in the enterprise space.
The Asia-Pacific region is alive with examples of every single nuance that plays a role in the MVNO industry.
