A real 5G Business Case that works: 5G Hotspots

May 16, 2019

5G is now being deployed by mobile operators around the world. With the first services coming
online. But there is a problem – the initial cost to build far exceeds the expected initial revenues,
such that payback on the network build is not expected until 2022 at the earliest and 2023 for any
significant revenues (U.S. and Asia Pacific) – for Europe, the situation is even worse with payback
not expected until 2026. And this is the best case. The good news is that there is an answer that
potentially cuts the initial investment and improves the financial metrics.

NetGate

Netgate is focused on delivering secure high-performance network connectivity for everyone. Netgate believes in enhancing network connectivity that maintains both security and privacy. We also believe everyone should be able to afford it. Netgate directly supports and contributes to open source networking, secure IoT and firewall initiatives while also developing new high throughput secure networking technologies for the cloud and the IDIoT (Inherently Dangerous Internet of Things). We develop solutions that leverage our decades of experience in networking, security, open source, embedded, software and hardware engineering. We are breaking down the cost barriers to bring connectivity with security and privacy to everyone. Our security applications and solutions, such as open source pfSense, microBMC and Netgate systems provide real world protection for networks of all sizes. You can be confident your networks are secure.

Orange’s vision for 6G

whitePaper | February 28, 2023

With the ambition to prepare for the future, Orange is contributing to the design of the 6th generation of mobile communication, what we refer to as 6G. Orange is actively involved in several 6G collaborative research projects and leading initiatives, including the European flagship Hexa-X project [1], the NGMN Alliance [2], and the IOWN Global Forum [3]. Committed, as a trusted partner, to give everyone the keys to a responsible digital world, we think it is our role to provide inspiration and vision, as well as an informed explanation about this future technology currently in the making.

The Impact of 5G: Creating New Value across Industries and Society

whitePaper | January 10, 2020

The Fourth Industrial Revolution offers an opportunity for diverse sectors to enhance their competitiveness and contribution to regional economies, while supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This industrial revolution is powered by both established and emerging technologies, including the internet of things, artificial intelligence, advanced data analytics, robotic process automation, robotics, cloud computing, virtual and augmented reality, 3D printing and drones. One key enabler that allows these technologies to realize their full potential is connectivity.

Forecasting the Future of Genomic Data Management

whitePaper | August 7, 2023

Genomics is the study of the complete set of DNA in a person or other organism. DNA underpins a large proportion of an individual's health and disease status, therefore a genomic medicine approach is increasingly being applied in clinical settings.

White Paper 5G Evolution and 6G

whitePaper | January 18, 2022

Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation (NTT) launched the world’s first mobile communication service using a cellular system on December 3, 1979. Since then, the radio access technology for mobile communications has evolved into a new generation system every 10 years. Along with technological development, services have also made progress. In the years from the first generation (1G) to the second generation (2G), the services were mainly voice calls, but finally advanced to simple text messaging.

ETSI White Paper: Fixed 5th Generation Advanced and Beyond

whitePaper | September 1, 2022

One of the overarching goals of the ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) F5G on Fifth Generation Fixed Network is to establish a regular rhythm of evolution for the fixed telecommunications network. This technology enhancement corresponds to the series of generations defined for the wireless network. So far, F5G has published technical specifications on use cases, generations definition of fibre networks, architecture, and more.
