Mobile market outlook with 4G deployment comparison in ASEAN countries I believe the price of telecommunication equipment is almost the same worldwide because they use the same suppliers. The difference may be from the resource/labor cost in each country. We can see from the graph below that with the same 4G development cost but generating very different revenues which impacts the health of the telecommunication industry in each country. The telecommunication industry in Indonesia needs to increase ARPU in order to compete with other countries in ASEAN and for the sustainability of telecommunications in Indonesia itself.

is really the battle of Open RAN lost? is the business case valid to build multiple Edge data centers to host the DU/CU ? will most operators embrace the " hassle" to have multiple vendors for their RAN networks, especially in the middle east where the operators mindset and culture is to limit the stakeholders as much as possible? is the lack of technically able service integrators the main hurdle in middle east service providers to embrace oRAN? #FOOD_FOR_THOUGHTS

𝟓𝐆 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 In my previous post, We talked about 5G Network Entry in radio Networks alone. You can check it here (https://lnkd.in/gViW8qAn) if you missed it. (Steps 1 to 4) In this post, we will talk about further procedures involving Core Networks. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟓 - 𝐍𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠:  Once the RRC connection is completed, The UE sends the first message to the core network to request for Initial registration. During this message, the user shares his identity which can be SUCI or GUTI. Based on the identity, the Serving Network will reach out to the Home Network for Authentication and Authorization. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟔- 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲: The network authenticates the UE and establishes security keys to protect subsequent communication. This involves mutual authentication using the Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) procedure. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟕 - 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞: The registration complete message will provide all the info to the user to access the network and the details required for creating a PDU session. User will store this info with it and use it for any future reference. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟖 - 𝐏𝐃𝐔 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 - 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭.

Capacity planning with RAN. We are very much alwaz into the network KPIs like throughout, latency, packet drops when talks about optimization. Few important factor we should also consider is what application, and the content type of the application and category of the application. Because not all the apps required same amount of network KPIs, for example what’s app chat requires a different throughput and latency than a WhatsApp video or voice call for a better QoE. To get a granular details of the App QoE and how to do capacity planning using the same follow sandvine capacity planning usecases #sandvineCapacityPlanning

Passive DWDM vs. Active DWDM, How to Choose? The benefits and limitations of passive DWDM and active DWDM are obvious to tell based on the abovementioned inherent natures, which has influences on the selection between passive DWDM and active DWDM. Additionally, understanding the difference between DWDM and CWDM can also help in making an informed choice, as CWDM is typically used for shorter distance transmissions with fewer channels compared to DWDM. Pros and Cons of Passive DWDM Advantages 1. Ease of Setup: Plug and play. No need to adjust wavelengths, making it simple and convenient to use. 2. Cost-Effective Solution: Fewer components & less engineering time. The high-channel capacity feature will save the expenses substantially. Disadvantages 1. Limited Scalability: The DWDM network is restricted to colored optics and fewer wavelengths on the transport fiber. Thus, more passive components will be adopted when expanding as the network grows. However, the more passive DWDM equipment, the more difficult to manage. 2. Inconvenient Control: If you need to change a wavelength or connection, you must halt usage and disconnect physical cables. In summary, passive DWDM systems are well-suited for short-distance transmissions (up to 40 km), where simplicity and cost-effectiveness are important considerations. On the other hand, active DWDM systems are advantageous for long-haul transmissions (beyond 40 km), offering greater capacity, control, and signal integrity. When deciding between passive and active DWDM systems, consider your transmission distance requirements, network scalability goals, and budget limitations. Making an informed choice that aligns with your specific networking needs will ensure robust performance and adaptability for the future.
