The evolution to 5G will see an unprecedented increase in network complexity - from new uses cases to different service classes, network function virtualization and large volumes of data. Today’s complex networks are designed to being operated by humans and their complexity is expected...
What if nearly every network operation could be predicted using machine learning and AI?
Ericsson launched its Operations Engine in January to assist communications service providers with moving away from incident driven and reactive operations to predictive and preventative operations. The engine, which leverages machine...
With a current wave of initial 5G deployments in certain geographies, ZTE offers a complete portfolio of solutions aiming for facilitating the otherwise laborious and burdensome migration of telecommunications operators globally from 4G to 5G through a more holistic and efficient process.
“All the main...
Over the last couple of years, the drive toward network automation has gained momentum. Today it’s widely acknowledged that automation is essential to the success and effectiveness of future network operations—and it’s easy to see why. Communication service providers (CSPs) have reached a tipping...
The Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to bring about a truly connected future, powering everything from smart homes to smart cities. Where we see a particular impact, however, is in the Industrial IoT (IIoT), where the exponential potential of connected sensors, machinery...
Today, artificial intelligence (AI) adds new technologies to 5G research that can help address several challenges.
This white paper examines the current opportunities to accelerate the future of 5G communications networks with the help of AI.
It is not an exhaustive list nor a full description...
5G is emerging. Industrial IoT is growing. Everyone has heard the phrase, it’s the next ‘big thing’. It’s faster internet, but what does it really mean for you? Check out this series of blogs to help you understand exactly what 5G means.
We are going...
US Vendor provides comprehensive toolkit coupled with peace of mind.
Regional, rural and tribal operators in the U.S. occupy a vital niche, providing American consumers and businesses with the connectivity they need in areas that are underserved by Tier 1 players. But, just like their...
Network slicing. Major reductions in capex and opex. A better customer experience. These are all goals of NFV and SDN innovation but progress is slow and the need increasingly pressing.
Here we explore how operators cloudify their networks—while maintaining quality and control through the transition—to...
What does it mean to have a building that is FirstNet ready? This webinar digs into various type of in-building coverage strategies for public safety users and how industry players are trying to get first responders the indoor coverage that is integral to their...

Oscillation caused by insufficient path loss between a bidirectional amplifier’s (BDA) donor and serving antennas is one of the most common and most serious forms of interference in cellular networks.
This white paper provides a general overview of how BDAs work, the conditions leading to...
There has been a lot of talk in the industry in last couple of years around SMART-NICs. In this blog, we share our perspective on this new class of network accelerators and the role they play in future of compute platforms. These are expected...
With so many players within the IoT space, from device makers to network providers and even traditional enterprises adopting technical solutions, it has been difficult to establish a standard for connectivity, creating a “wild west” of different standards that had held back interoperability of...
Disasters cross international borders, and in Europe, critical communications need to support the ability of first responders in neighboring countries to work collaboratively.
This report explores the latest trends and developments in how European Union countries and the United Kingdom are meeting the challenges of...
5G networks will need to offer more capacity and flexibility while lowering the operational expenses of the system. Two new technologies can simultaneously address both the increase in capacity and the increase in energy efficiency: Virtualization & Massive MIMO.
This white paper provides an overview...
