Key Insights from Telco Network Cloudification Whitepapers There are many different ways to look at the challenges of the Telco Network Cloudification Journey. While there are some underlying commonalities, there are also differences, and it's interesting to compare them. ◼ NGMN Cloud Native Manifesto: Industry Focus and Challenges This whitepaper outlines strategic priorities and challenges as follows; - Skills Gap and Culture Shift: Addressing the skills gap and fostering a software-centric, agile culture within telecom organizations. - Interoperability and Certification: Developing robust certification processes to ensure network application interoperability. - Legacy Management: Managing the transition from legacy systems to cloud-native environments. - Data and AI for Automation: Leveraging data for observability and AI to achieve autonomous network operations. - Commercial Models: Encouraging vendors to provide open APIs and documentation, fostering innovation and agility. ◼ CNCF Accelerating Cloud Native in Telco: Challenges in Cloud Native Telco Transformation The CNCF whitepaper highlights key challenges faced by CSPs in adopting cloud-native network functions (CNFs): - Pre-Validation and Adaptations: Traditional pre-validation is impractical due to cloud-native diversity; CNFs often need modifications for specific policies. - Validation and Automation: Local validation and full automation of CNF deployment are crucial for compatibility and performance. - Dependencies and Lifecycle Management: Managing hardware dependencies and supporting rolling upgrades without service interruptions. - Tracing and Architecture: Enhancing tracing mechanisms and adopting true cloud-native architectures. - Security and Resilience: Ensuring security through minimal privileges and designing CNFs to handle infrastructure imperfections. ◼ ETSI NFV Workshop: Key Issues addressed by Omdia's James Crawshaw https://lnkd.in/ex5mbiVy - Fragmented Implementations: Telcos struggle with fragmented, vendor-specific vertical stacks instead of unified horizontal stacks. - Infrastructure Diversity: Anuket has not fully solved infrastructure diversity issues due to varying telco requirements. - Adoption of Solutions: Slow adoption of Rancher-based CaaS and Sylva. - Relevance of ETSI NFV: ETSI NFV needs to evolve to remain relevant, incorporating cloud-native principles. - DIY vs. Public Cloud: The debate continues on whether a DIY telco cloud or leveraging public cloud technology in a hybrid model is more practical. These takeaways highlight the challenges and strategic focuses necessary for successful telco cloudification, including addressing skills gaps, ensuring interoperability, managing legacy systems, and adopting automation and AI. #Telecoms #TelcoNetworkCloud #Cloudification #Challenges #CloudNative #vRAN #CNCF #ETSINFV #NGMN #Whitepapers

MPLS & SRv6 AI Net World 2025 : announcing the CFP The 2025 edition of MPLS & SRv6 AI Net World Congress will stand from the 25th to 27th March at the Palais des Congrès de Paris. A Call for proposals is open until October 30th. The Conference: which new network design Should we build a network offering VPN services (BGP/MPLS or SRv6 types) or on the contrary design a simpler network, without VPN (states) and build the service at the edge (SD-WAN type)? Ideally with a co-construction of the service between the edge (SD-WAN or other cloud-type service) and the core (which could offer differentiated routing with SR, diffserve QoS, on-demand filtering for protection against DDOS...)? As each year, renowned experts will discuss the current trends towards future network designs. Main sessions will cover IPv6 deployments, AI & ML, Clocking, EVPN, IP/Optical and Open RAN. https://lnkd.in/esHabAud

D -6 Looking forward to represent GATEWATCHER together with Dominique MEURISSE at Cybersec Europe 2024! The place for exploring key insights, best practices and innovative solutions to bolster your organisation's #CyberResiliency. Come and meet GATEWATCHER on booth 05.A070 to understand the latest developments in our European leading edge #NDR solution and how you benefit as an organisation in achieving a better and more complete detection leading to an effective response and remediation. An interesting driver for selecting an #NDR solution which is spot on, according to Gartner's Hype Cycle for Security Operations, 2023: "Low risk — high reward: Implementing NDR products is a low-risk project because the sensors are positioned out-of-band, so they don’t represent a point of failure or a “speed bump” for network traffic. Enterprises that implement NDR products as a proof of concept (POC) often report high degrees of satisfaction because the tools provide much-needed visibility into network traffic and enable even small teams to spot anomalies." Thirsty for more? Be quick, pass by for a chat whilst enjoying a refreshing local brewed beer! 📅 Wed 29 & Thu 30 📍 Brussels Expo- Hall 5 ⏰ 09:00-18:00 🍻 booth 05.A070 #cyberseceurope #cyberseceurope2024 #easyasNDR

The 3GPP Stage 1 Workshop on IMT-2030 Use Cases, held in May 2024, aimed to bring together stakeholders to define potential applications and requirements for the next generation of mobile communication technology, #6G. The GSMA, a global trade body for mobile network operators, likely presented a proposal outlining their perspective on 6G research and development (R&D). The GSMA proposal focused on outlining their vision for 6G R&D. This include: 🟥 Key R&D areas: Identifying critical areas for technological advancements in 6G. Examples include network performance enhancements like higher bandwidth, lower latency, and improved network slicing capabilities. 🟥 Collaboration framework: The GSMA have proposed a framework for collaboration between various stakeholders involved in 6G R&D, including network operators, equipment vendors, research institutions, and regulatory bodies. This would ensure coordinated efforts and avoid duplication. 🟥 Industry needs: The proposal have emphasized the importance of considering industry needs in 6G development. This involve collaborating with different industries to identify specific use cases and ensure the technology addresses their challenges and opportunities. I like Slide 12 - #5G has a long way to go! Five years since first 5G deployments, many operators have not deployed 5G at all. Beyond enhanced mobile broadband, new attributes of 5G, are in 5G Standalone. Only 47 operators have deployed 5G SA, concentrated in 19 countries Follow us on Kaneshwaran Govindasamy and Global 5G Evolution Click comment box. #Subscribe our #youtube channel Check out this week's #5G Conference on XCHANGING IDEAS #49

There is no getting around the fact that the global economic slowdown has chilled 5G commitments and rollouts. With previous expectations for #5G subscriptions to surpass 100M in MENA by 2026, is the technology derailed or just delayed? I was delighted to discuss these topics with The Integrator and to talk about upcoming opportunities! CommScope EMEA
