5G will accelerate the variety and volume of data traffic further shattering constrained legacy service delivery models and impacting network economics.
Operators across the globe, from the UK to India, UAE to Brazil, are embracing Open RAN technology as it is now commercially available.
As the Barcelona panel on next generation networks rightly says, our future networks won’t simply work on the 2G or 3G ‘build it and they will come’ principle. But if a 5G network isn’t built the right way, users may not come to the telco, and the OTTs could win again.
The economic impact of cloud-based automated networks will be magnified by the adoption of fully open network platforms.
What are the top characteristics of a next-generation network? End-to-end automation and cloud-native architecture with open multivendor interoperability. Next-generation mobile networks will be unrecognizable from those of the 3G and 4G eras. Operators are laying the foundations for an unprecedented upheaval in their architectures and organizational structures, as they move towards automated, cloud-native, programmable networks….
Stéphane Téral, Technology Telecommunications Fellow at IHS Markit recently attended Mavenir’s Analyst Event on November 5 in Dallas. Many elements are coming together to put Mavenir in the limelight…
Of the 7.9 billion mobile subscribers worldwide today, just shy of 50% are on LTE and fewer than 20% are utilizing VoLTE. IMS will be the service engine for 5G voice as it is today for VoLTE, ensuring IMS will continue as the core voice network for some time. Voice over 5G new radio will be the next wave…
Open RAN really is the ability to change the vendor ecosystem. Openness is now starting to appear in the industry, which I think is going to bring a lot of new innovation and new vendors into this marketplace.
Mobile operators are struggling to keep up with the relentless growth of connected devices and consumer demands – the decisions they make today will ultimately affect their ability to compete, and even survive, in the 5G era. Telcos adopting cloud-native platforms have much to gain – but what exactly is “cloud-native?” And why all the…
As Mavenir is transforming and disrupting the market at a rapid pace, we paused to update key analysts on the latest and upcoming innovations. The relentless focus on redefining the mobile network economics is more urgent than ever as mobile operators are under growing pressure to meet ever-increasing capacity demands and grow service revenue, all…
