5G operators need a new game strategy for customer experience 02 March, 2020

5G operators need a new game strategy for customer experience

When NBA great, Phil Jackson said, “The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team”, his words were meant for sports teams. That quote is also apt for telecoms, says Patrick Kalaher of frog, where teamwork is essential if operators and their partners are to build 5G networks that deliver Industry 4.0.

Analysts offer new predictions for the tech sector, the crazy fools! Will it just be 2020 hindsight? 11 January, 2020

Analysts offer new predictions for the tech sector, the crazy fools! Will it just be 2020 hindsight?

A WEEK IN TELCO IT: My Dad told me, “You should try everything in life once, except incest and Morris dancing.” I think he should have added something else to the list; making annual predictions.

Hands up who’s making money in 5G? And who’s not?

The company’s deputy chairman, Ken Hu, told its annual Mobile Broadband Forum (#MBBF) in Zurich, Switzerland last week that 5th Generation mobile communications “arrived faster than expected,” and that there are now 40 carriers in more than 20 countries supporting 136 different 5G-enabled devices.

Video streaming named the USA’s killer app for 5G, as the tech prediction season opens early 19 September, 2019

Video streaming named the USA’s killer app for 5G, as the tech prediction season opens early

OK, I admit it. I have a real problem with the notion that there’s a killer app for each new bearer technology that comes along, says Jeremy Cowan. Perhaps this is because ‘What’s the Next Big Thing?’ is the first question I’m asked every year when I meet people at Mobile World Congress. (more…)

Orange boss urges clients to state 5G needs, and is the Qualcomm peace deal Apple’s ‘least worst’ option?

Too early to get carried away with 5G in industry, and tough times for telecoms analysts

(A WEEK IN TELCO IT):  5G – there seems to be no getting away from it. Just as it was at MWC19 in Barcelona, 5G has been one of the main topics of conversation at Hannover Messe (April 1-5, 2019) in Germany this week. As Jeremy Cowan reports, “The world’s biggest trade show devoted to industrial technology” has been focusing on how 5G is set to change industry. (more…)
