Key Challenges in Choosing the Right VNF Manager

August 30, 2018

Cloud technology is seen as the technology of the future and is rapidly becoming mainstream for all service providers and telco operators trying to operate more efficiently as well as offer premium service. Software-based technologies such as Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Define Network (SDN) are seen as a must in order to transform from legacy networks into software-based and service-oriented networks. Networks based on cloud infrastructure can operate and deploy more efficiently and agilely than any Virtual Network Function (VNF) on its own private cloud or one of the public clouds (e.g. Amazon, Azure...). This gives the possibility for service providers to operate a flexible and dynamic network with the added opportunity for faster, cheaper, and automated deployment of the service.

THE USER’S VIEW OF THE 5G RAN

whitePaper | October 26, 2022

Obviously, RAN performance and user experience are correlated. Still, there are ways to optimize the RAN performance to maximize the user experience that go beyond the optimization of individual RAN parameters. By improving the user experience, the wireless infrastructure becomes more cost-efficient, and the operator can squeeze more out of its network for the same investment.

Making 5G A Reality

whitePaper | December 12, 2019

Qualcomm said it expects 200 million 5G smartphones to be sold in 2020 and that will make it the world’s largest supplier of mobile phone chips. Qualcomm Chief Financial Officer Akash Palkhiwala said on an investor call there would be “two inflexion points” for 5G chips next year. One would be in the spring when firms like Samsung and several Chinese handset makers tend to introduce new phones. “The second point will be in the Autumn when another set of flagship devices will adopt 5G.” Fall is when Apple and Alphabet launch new models. Qualcomm’s 5G market estimate, disclosed during a fourth quarter earnings report, is the first from the company
