30 May, 2019With 5G at the centre of mobile operators’ strategies, the challenge is to avoid another cycle of intense infrastructure investment which enables the business cases of other organisations. Instead, operators need to take up a new role that monetises the enablement they provide and places them in the connected ecosystem as more than the providers of connectivity.
31 October, 2018In the second of a two-part article, Job Baldry, the marketing director of Infinera, explains that while 5G offers capacity, existing cellular networks rely heavily on fibre optic links to connect cell towers to the core network.
30 October, 2018In the first of a two-part article, Jon Baldry, the marketing director of Infinera, explains that, with the recent release of latest 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR) standards and the first true 5G networks potentially coming on stream in 2018, 5G-ready transport networks continue to evolve into semi-unmapped territory.
18 October, 2018In the first of a series of articles in advance of this year’s Broadband World Forum, Niall Hunt, the digital content lead for the event, explores how preparations for 5G are progressing. Although many operators and businesses are already busy pushing their 5G messages, the truth is that 4G isn’t going anywhere just yet. 4G and 5G networks will continue to coexist for the foreseeable future, sharing the same wireline network infrastructure between cell sites and data centres.
18 September, 2018With 5G launch imminent in the US and some other markets, the technology is starting to become a reality. However, it remains very early in terms of deployment coverage and the ways in which initial 5G is being deployed do not deliver many of the promises of 5G. Nevertheless, it’s worthwhile for CIOs to prepare their enterprises for 5G adoption, Mark Hung, a research vice president at Gartner tells George Malim
13 April, 2018Glenn Lurie, the chief executive of Synchronoss, tells George Malim that the coming together of cloud, IoT and 5G capabilities gives communications service providers (CSPs) an opportunity to choose their own destinies in the digital economy
16 March, 2017Bringing cellular signals indoors with in-building wireless (IBW) systems is a challenging feat, which perhaps explains the lack of such coverage today despite significant interest from business enterprises, their tenants and workers. (more…)
27 March, 2015The Small Cell Forum and ETSI’s NFV Industry Specification Group have signed an agreement to collaborate on a new work stream, exploring synergies between ETSI’s NFV programme and Small Cell Forum’s work to determine carrier requirements and recommendations for the virtualisation of small cells.
