Music venues see uplink traffic eclipse downlink for first time Verizon has reported a milestone in the mobile data field with its finding that uplink traffic in the US at live music events has overtaken downlink for the first time. This reflects the high volume of user-generated content uploaded at such events, including photos, clips of gigs, and social media posts. In some cases, Verizon’s mobile service was found wanting – showing the need to address uplink demand. #livemusic #mobiledata #connectivity

Private networks reach $7.2 billion, 8 million cells, finds RAN Research Laying the groundwork for future investigations, our sister service RAN Research has published its latest forecast – looking at the private cellular networks market from 2024 to 2029. The headline figures are an installed base of 8 million cells, generating annual revenue of $7.19 billion at the end of the period. As the report notes: the past two years have been turbulent in the private cellular networks market. This is a reflection of the wider macroeconomic conditions, but also the fallout from a very hype-driven consensus, observed in 2021 and 2022. In many ways, this is the same problem seen in consumer-facing 5G, where the industry raced into the new generation on the assumption that consumers would pay more the new technology – to be greatly disappointed when they did not. #cellular #network #5G

I was delighted to join Broadband Forum President Manuel Paul to talk about the merits of a converged stable core network that combines fixed and mobile access for all communication services with Philip Hunter at Rethink Technology Research.   The conversation covered the importance of reusing existing network investments, our relationship with 3GPP and why now is the time to monetize 5G. We also talked about the organization’s 30-year anniversary and how we have constantly adapted to meet the critical needs of all those in the broadband ecosystem.

The slow burn of satellite spectrum planning The excitement surrounding various agreements between MNOs and LEO (low earth orbit) satellite companies is bringing a heightened sense of activity to the field of hybrid networks, where terrestrial networks (TN) and non-terrestrial networks (NTN) combine. But a market that relies on satellite companies using operator-owned spectrum, as is the case with many of the current deals, will be geographically limited and will require numerous agreements between operators and satcos. Instead, the proposals happening in the background, around the use of spectrum dedicated for 5G NTNs will be key to a seamless, global 5G or 6G connectivity. #LEOsatellite #mobilenetworks #networks 

Titan OS matures with ThinkAnalytics ad tech; CTO on 2025 trends Titan OS may only be less than a year old but the Linux-based TV operating system has already hit puberty—with the deployment of targeted advertising technology from ThinkAnalytics, of recommendations engine fame. The newly launched Titan Ads division is deploying the ThinkAdvertising technology to unlock valuable viewership data from the 4 million TVs already running Titan OS on devices from Philips, AOC, and JVC across Europe. This move is designed to capitalize on the anticipated growth of Titan OS, which is set to expand to over 9 million active households in Europe, especially following the launch of FAST channels on Sony’s #Android-based TVs. #TV #ads
