The future of wireless services of all types is likely to involve more spectrum-sharing and other more sophisticated approaches to #spectrum assignment and management. This applies to #5G, #6G, #WiFi, #satellite, audiovisual and various classes of aviation and martime networks, as well as government and defence usage. Sharing will occur based on multiple dimensions - location, duration, directionality, power and obviously frequency. That, in turn, will require a range of key enablers, including technological components such as spectrum databases, sensing systems, better transceivers, mapping tools, cross-technology signalling and much more. There will also need to be streamlined regulatory processes, spectrum marketplaces, and a whole variety of use-cases for AI + spectrum. There will also be a need for more international cooperation and (hopefully) eventual harmonisation. The evolution of spectrum-sharing is a central theme for me at the moment, and something that regularly crops up in my discussions with regulators, operators, vendors and investors. I've written a guest article for my client CRFS (a spectrum-sensing vendor) which discusses this in more detail. https://lnkd.in/esxTh_Yf

Goodbye 3G! The last 3G network was closed down in Helsinki last night. Kenny (Nokia 6650) and my WCDMA book can be retired to the museum now. WCDMA theoretical peak rate was 2 Mbps (and practical 0.4 Mbps) while the live 5G network in Helsinki provides 2 Gbps. Impressive evolution in the last 22 years! The data rate has more than doubled every two years since 2002. And more evolution coming with 5G-Advanced and 6G.

Support from countries representing 60% of the global population is significant and sets the stage for more countries to identify the 6 GHz band for mobile/IMT. Inclusion of the band in national spectrum roadmaps for IMT is crucial for mid-band spectrum needs for future (at least till 2030) and industry confidence to continue to invest in 5G, 5G advanced and ultimately towards 6G. #spectrum #6GHz #5G #DigitalIndia

Trend: First responders using mobile networks to communicate! We have seen this coming for a while now - in Sweden as Rakel 2.0 - in Finland as Virve 2.0 and the example below in US being some of them. Sounds like a great plan. Combine already constructed public networks with pieces that will make it an effective emergency communication tool (own core, own slice, own prioritisation, unique positioning access etc...) 80% of emergency calls now come from mobile phones. Having mobile connectivity suddenly have become a life or death issue, both for the person in need as well as the person who are coming to help. Since we spend 90% of our time indoor, it is not unrealistic that this is also where we see most of the emergencies taking place. Today we have big portions of our indoor environment that still lack coverage, not just from 5G but from any type of G... #indoor5g https://lnkd.in/dQRvuys5

📱Farewell to 3G: Reflecting on a Telecom Milestone📱 Yesterday, Harri Holma, Nokia Bell Labs Fellow, announced the closure of the last #3G network in #Helsinki. Harri's #WCDMA book, co-authored with Antti Toskala, was essential reading—the “bible” for the #telecom industry on designing and deploying #3G networks. I remember organizing user-group sessions in Helsinki, where my Telefónica’s customers would bring their well-used copies for Harri’s autograph after his presentation. This book, along with the #GSM bible by Mouly and Pautet, has accompanied me across three transatlantic moves—a testament to their lasting impact. #Mobile networks have transformed over the past three decades, but with advancements in #AI and #quantum communications, the next 30 years promise to bring even more revolutionary changes.

M&A in IoT connectivity is set to accelerate in the coming years. We anticipate more consolidation in the IoT Communications Service Provider landscape in the next 12 months. There seems to have been some mitigation of the rapid price erosion seen in recent years but not many IoT connectivity providers are currently profitable and the requirement for gaining greater scale persists. This inevitably drives consolidation, in one of two ways, either through market exits or through M&A. We haven’t seen any significant examples of the former, in large part because any IoT CSP would have a valued asset in the form of recurring revenue and installed base of customers that would make it an acquisition target for someone. We have, however, seen continuing M&A, albeit at something of a reduced rate. In February 2023 KORE acquired Twilio’s IoT assets, while Wireless Logic (usually the main suspect if there’s M&A to be done) acquired Blue Wireless and Webbing. This is just one conclusion from our forthcoming annual Communications Service Provider IoT Peer Benchmarking Report, based on deep-dive analysis of the capabilities and strategies of 25 leading IoT connectivity providers. One area where we expect there to be some further increased action is in MNO acquisition of MVNOs. There was one particularly prominent example in the last twelve months, with Japan’s SoftBank acquiring 51% of automotive-focused MVNO Cubic Telecom at a valuation of around USD1 billion. It is noticeable that this is from SoftBank Corporation, the Japanese mobile operator, rather than SoftBank’s investment arm. This, to an extent, replicates the approach of SoftBank’s Japanese rivals KDDI and NTT which have themselves acquired IoT MVNOs, Soracom and Transatel respectively. Other examples are relatively rare, although 1NCE is predominantly owned by other telcos (most notably Deutsche Telekom but also SoftBank) and Telus holds a minority stake in Eseye. With MNOs increasingly keen to imitate MVNOs, for instance in the case of Telefonica or Vodafone there is an obvious approach, which is to actually acquire them, or to establish partnerships, particularly to address out-of-footprint market opportunities. If you would like to know more about this trend, join Transforma Insights for a free webinar on the 1st July (ahead of the report publication) where I will share our views on the key themes dominating the provision of IoT connectivity, including network technologies, platforms, commercial models, organisational structure and business processes.

Meet Tarik Cicic, Senior Research Scientist at CRNA - Centre for Resilient Networks and Applications. He’s been part of Simula Metropolitan Center for Digital Engineering since 2022 and is leading the important work of measuring the availability and performance of mobile networks in Norway. His journey from a programming-fascinated teenager to a senior researcher in network resilience showcases a career driven by technological curiosity and real-world impact. The following is an excerpt from the full interview: https://lnkd.in/dFWft-yR 📚 What is your educational background, and how did you become interested in your field? When I was a 13-year-old, I was an ardent reader of the popular science magazine Galaksija, in my home country, which at the time was still known as Yugoslavia. On the last page of the magazine, they started publishing short, introductory texts and code snippets on computers and programming. I remember how I stared at a piece of code written in the programming language “Basic” and could not understand how it worked (it took an integer as input and printed its prime factors as output). I was captivated and did not give up until I got it, which took time without access to an actual computer. My educational direction was thereby decided. I joined the University of Oslo in 1994, at the time when the first big wave of internet communications and WWW splashed over the world. It was truly fascinating, with endless possibilities and many open questions, which inspired me to do my PhD there. After finishing my PhD, I worked in research as well as industry. 🌐 What are your current research projects or areas of focus in your field? In CRNA we do multiple projects in the fields of IoT, 5G, security, privacy, and network management and operations. Like so many other research fields, data communications have noticed the transformative effect of recent advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence. With my background as a practitioner in network planning and operations, I am particularly interested in how AI can be applied to increase the operational stability of large IP networks. Right now, we are exploring the applications of Large Language Models in network configurations. We also study the privacy aspects of IoT home deployments and the security of 5G stand-alone core deployments. #network #resilience #IoT #researcher #spotlight
