The new era of 5G networks dictates service providers (SPs) and network equipment providers (NEPs) what it takes to bring value to communication services not only via technology and operational innovations but also through an innovative business model that results in intelligent devices and...
5G deployments have only recently started, and releases beyond R15 will continue to tap into the tremendous potential of 5G. However, as a new generation of cellular technology typically appears every 8-10 years, 6G can be expected around 2030. 6G could offer high-fidelity holograms,...
This Appledore whitepaper shows how various operations functions fit together and how you can reduce the frequency of “re-invention”, by re-using both software and experience. It shows how CSPs can make 100:1 improvements in many cost and agility metrics and make agile innovation realistic.
And,...
The 5G telecommunications services market has an estimated value of $2 trillion worldwide. To claim their share, service providers need to adopt new ways of working that support novel business models built around the network as a platform for value creation. They need to...
Technology advances increasingly blur the lines between the capabilities of Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and other small cells. Many DAS networks have become less complex (at least easier to install) while small cells have become smarter.
Building upon its 2013 report, the HetNet Forum has...
On this paper we’ll talk you through how communications service providers must make the best use of their spectrum assets, utilizing each band’s performance characteristics to support their business strategy while maintaining coexistence between all technologies in the network.
With 5G networks going live and...
As Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices become more and more commonplace, the uses for such devices continues to expand. One of the key places they are appearing is as part of so-called “smart city” projects.
The benefits of smart city technologies are apparent, but the sheer size...
