Wireless Watch’s Post

That didn't take long! I guess Niklas Heuveldop knows people at Verizon (understatement of the year). This was the motivation behind Ericsson's acquisition of Vonage. The question is, will the outcome be something of value and can it be replicated with other Ericsson-powered wireless providers? Verizon and Vonage announce collaboration to bring advanced 5G network APIs to developers. Joint innovation paves the way for future API development and distribution efforts between these industry-leading organizations. Ericsson #CpaaS #UCaaS #5G

5G still has promise, but revenue generation has been slow, and telcos are starting to invest in new areas to drive revenue as technology and business needs evolve. We've seen telcos start to invest more heavily in integration, multi-domain orchestration, and Network as a Service models in order to streamline global service delivery and partner with hyperscalers in key areas. What does this mean for telcos, MSPs, and network customers? Morgan Stern explains in his new blog - link in comments. #CSPNetworking #Telco #NaaS #MultiDomain #NetworkOrchestration #5G

I am thrilled to embark on this journey with Ericsson through the evolving network landscape that is nothing short of a personalized adventure for each Communication Service Provider (CSP). With Ericsson's Cloud RAN portfolio, cloud-native technology is revolutionizing the RAN landscape, offering flexibility and openness. However, this does not imply the end of purpose-built nor that purpose-built RAN cannot be open RAN. Both solution offer CSPs the tools needed for successful navigate 5G network evolution.   Open RAN plays a crucial role in advancing this journey by liberating CSPs from the potential risks associated with vendor lock-in. With its open interfaces and interoperable architecture, Open RAN empowers CSPs to select the most efficient solutions, for best performance and optimized investment. The future of radio access networks is diverse, comprising purpose-built, cloud-based, or a combination of both solutions, tailored to the specific needs and use-cases of the CSPs. Join us on the 5G evolution journey and transform possibilities into realities!   #Ericsson #5GInnovation #NetworkEvolution #CloudRAN #OPENRAN #MWC24

TRAI recommendations on framework for new Authorization regime under Telecommunications Act 2023 At the outset these are very progressive and forward-looking recommendations by TRAI on the new license regime with aim to promote ease of doing business, simplifying the licensing regime and promote proliferation of Telecom services in the Country . The proposed regime substantially reduces the entry fees, enhances and/or combines scope of services of various services, reduces number of authorizations, forward looking in terms of use of Satellite in acccess networks , introduction of Cloud Service Providers and many others ...So congratulations are due to TRAI, its Chairperson and the team that drafted these recommendations.Anil Kumar Lahoti TRAI HQ Akhilesh Kumar Trivedi Syed Tausif Abbas Shiv Bhadra Singh Manoj Dharmarajan

Exciting news ahead of MWC24! ✨ Ericsson fuels the next phase of 5G deployments with 12 innovative hardware and software solutions to support service providers in deploying high-performing, sustainable and open networks. 🌐 The portfolio enhancements enable operators to efficiently utilize their mid-band spectrum assets, by introducing a new line-up of 32T32R mMIMO, 8T8R and 4T4R solutions, to boost 5G deployments. The launch is led by AIR 3255, a 12-Kg mMIMO unit that is the first to use the new generation mMIMO Ericsson System on a Chip, with enhanced receiver processing and improved energy efficiency, ensuring 25% energy savings compared to the previous generation radio. This powerful unit is accompanied by six more radios, including the first tri-band 4T8R unit for EU bands, three software features, transport and antenna solutions.   The complete radio line-up launch is prepared for Open RAN. ✔️ Learn more about the launched products: https://lnkd.in/dyArVA8x   #MWC24 #EricssonMWC #MassiveMIMO #OpenRAN #5G

5G and beyond refer to the evolution of mobile networks to provide a better user experience and increased value for service providers. This includes consistent 5G experiences, energy efficiency, automated networks, and greater network openness and flexibility. @EricssonNetwork #EricssonMWC #MWC24 #ad https://bit.ly/3I3SY8O

Kunal Bajaj, CEO & Co-founder, CloudExtel, shared his thoughts on the applications of vRAN, a technology with the ability to run the RAN stack as a software on commonly available hardware, in this The Economic Times article. Penned by Himanshi Lohchab, this story captures Vodafone Idea’s recent successful trials with this model. Kunal highlighted, “vRAN allows for centralisation of some processing functions to local nodes, and therefore requires less server or processor capacity at sites.” Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dkE2Ew_s #vRAN #NaaS #ReinventingDigitalInfrastrcuture

Ericsson's 4Q23 earnings news earlier today of continued weakness, plus their grim outlook for 2024, especially for the #RAN market, points to the need for operators to accelerate the transition of their core networks to the cloud. Without new services and revenue streams enabled by a more open, programmable, and elastic core network, operations will continue to pound the costs out of the RAN and bleed or sweat their current assets. 5.5G or Release 18 core network enhancements are important for operators to adopt because they lay the foundation for new services that can drive top-line growth. Fortunately, as you can see in the chart below, core network revenues have not been as impacted as RAN spending, and we are witnessing growth in those core network technologies that support future growth. Exact Ventures is forecasting that the core network market will grow over the next several years, as #5g-related spending more than offset declines in legacy systems, and voice-related spending is flat.

Agility is a key topic in all businesses, and telco makes no difference. Do not miss the opportunity to get to know more from izzi telecom how they did it! Thanks Mark Abolafia , Israel Madiedo , Leandro Rzezak and the whole izzi telecom and Symphonica team for being front runners ! #AWS for Telecom #CloudNative #Agility #Innovation #CloudOSS #GoSaaS!
