Effective Data Management Is Essential for Taming the 5G Network Complexity Beast

September 19, 2022

IDC
Communications service provider (SP) traffic volumes are progressively increasing as networks evolve, user devices gain greater capacity, and applications engaging with advanced network data such as that from the 5G standalone (5G SA) network exposure function (NEF) start to deliver on customer expectations. Cloudification of network functions — virtualized network functions (VNFs) and cloud-native network functions (CNFs) — is placing new burdens on old systems and processes not designed to manage intent-based network architecture. Silos of data locked within many installed systems keep transformation efforts from reaching anticipated objectives.

5G and the Future of Work

whitePaper | January 12, 2022

The world is becoming increasingly connected with advancements in wireless technology. Now in its fifth generation, 5G brings unprecedented speed, reliability, and responsiveness. As 5G wireless technology is further developed and brought to mainstream markets, it will catalyze a paradigm shift for how we connect with our devices, information, and one another. Verizon partnered with Gensler to explore how 5G will transform the way people work. We started by evaluating the critical capabilities and limitations of 5G. An analysis of 5G disruptions in tangential industries yielded five key emerging trends. Finally, by applying these trends to the workplace, we distilled specific implications that are most likely to shape the future of work.

Satellite Synchronization is Critical to 5G Mobile Cellular Network Operation

whitePaper | January 15, 2020

Synchronization in carrier networks has been in use forever, but because of its elevated role in 5G, it is now getting more attention. Mobile cellular networks must be synchronized so that towers (base stations) with overlapping coverage do not interfere with each other causing dropped calls or service degradation. The NodeBs used in Third Generation (3G) cellular communications rely on satellite communications for synchronization, as do the Baseband Units (BBUs) used in Fourth Generation (4G) cellular communications.
