Summa Networks’ Post

It's no secret that the Telecom industry supports billions of users and businesses from every corner of the planet. But is it possible to sustain growth in a saturated environment where services are becoming increasingly commoditized? This is especially true given the growing demand for faster networks and new sustainable technologies, such as 5G, IoT, AI-powered networks, and management systems. 🌐 Find out more about the Telecom trends and major shifts in 2024 in my blog article: https://lnkd.in/dazaq45u #Telecom #TelecomInnovation #DigitalTransformation #TechEfficiency #5G #TelecomAI #ZeroCarbonTelecom #TelecomNetworks

Did you know? At D-fingreen, we believe when the cellular world’s standardization body started working on 5G, they promised to address cases that may sound contradictory, IoT, the mission-critical control, that enhanced mobile broadband in Nigeria. The objectives may seem incompatible, as IoT would require a solution (network and devices) that consumes very low power for devices running on battery to operate for more than ten years. In contrast, enhanced mobile broadband requires offering very high bandwidth in Nigeria. The first focus of 5G standardization and deployment was to address one of the three pillars, the one that mobile network operators are comfortable with and the most profitable segment at the time to enhanced mobile broadband. This fully aligns with the mobile broadband evolution from 2G to 3G to 4G offering more throughput and better network reactivity, this leaves the other two pillars needing to be better addressed to fulfil the 5G promise, such as smart meters and mission-critical control with public safety networks. In addition to the 5G evolution to address massive IoT and mission-critical control, network virtualization is another trend in the IT industry that is becoming a reality. In the past, a specific hardware was designed for a specific network function and linked to its dedicated software. Today, there is a need to virtualize these network functions with software that can run on commercial off-the-shelf hardware or even in the cloud. In the past, cellular networks were split into two network types: the Circuit Switch (CS) network managing voice and SMS and the Packet Switch (PS) network dedicated to data. The rationale at the time was that voice could not wait, and data did not have the same constraints. This was the case with 3G networks, with 4G came the unification of the two worlds (voice and data) on a data network with Voice over IMS over IP, of course, this merge of networks has been transparent for the end user, who is still able to make phone calls over IP and more data services. Let us imagine a common infrastructure split into virtual networks, one network slice could be dedicated to the IoT use case requiring support for a massive number of devices with low power consumption, but with very limited throughput. This could be the case for smart meters, for example, another network slice could be dedicated to critical communication  use case examples include monitoring factory robots or for firefighters. This network slice would have an extremely low latency service with very high reliability. This opens up additional possibilities for mobile network operators, for example, to offer a slice of their network and allocate it to a specific factory. Essentially, this allows MNOs to provide network services to a company that operates a factory which requires dedicated network resources for its robots and equipment to ensure the high reliability of its machines’ connections in Nigeria and Africa.

#TechNews 5G to account for 51% of mobile connections by 2029: GSMAi As of January 2024, 261 operators in 101 countries had launched commercial 5G services, GSMAi said 5G connections are expected to represent 51% of total mobile connections at a global level by 2029, according to new figures from GSMA Intelligence (GSMi). Meanwhile, 5G connections will account for 56% of the global total by the end of the decade. As of the end of last year, 5G connections reached 1.6 billion, according to the GSMA Intelligence research. As of January 2024, 261 operators in 101 countries had launched commercial 5G services, and more than 90 operators from 64 markets have committed to 5G rollouts. Of the 261 commercial 5G services available, 47 are provided by 5G Standalone (SA) networks, with a further 89 planned deployments near-term, according to the research. GSMA Intelligence data also shows the enterprise segment now counts 10.7 billion IoT connections- versus 10.5 billion consumer connections, and this momentum is expected to continue, with enterprise connections more than doubling to 38.5 billion by 2030 and smart buildings and smart manufacturing accounting for 34% and 16% of total enterprise connections respectively. #informationtechnology #voip #encryption #telecoms #virtualization #tech #databreach #broadband #semiconductor #internetofthings #telecommunication #wireless #mobile #telecom #technology #telecommunications #business #internet #network #telecoms #networking #cabling #AI #data #wireless #telecomunicaciones #voip #structuredcabling #yidawards #communication #tech #wifi #fiberoptic #telecomunica #it #lowlatency #telco #cable #ethernet #Verveba #5G #Google #Cloud #cybersecurity #att
