The telecommunications industry is under relentless pressure to do more with less. A falling supply of new customers is forcing businesses to control cost while innovating services. Telcos are only set to feel the squeeze more as they continue to invest in 5G infrastructure, deal with more complex data demands pushing them to 5G-Advanced and 6G, and grapple with new technologies like the metaverse.
This guest post from Infovista uses the example of cloud gaming to explore how quality of experience measurement and delivery is having to adapt in 5G and what that means for the future evolution of QoE management.
Shenghan Wu of StorArt shared this lecture on the challenges and potential future of error correction as we move from 5G to 6G.
In this guest post, Ray Dolan of Cohere Technologies outlines the commercial imperatives behind a shift to cloud-native architectures and what this may mean for future telecoms generations.
While 6G standards are some way off, there is much useful work to be done extrapolating from current trends and progressions in 5G, along with the parallel evolution of technologies such as AR, AI and ML
Giovanni Petrantoni, President and Founder of Fragnova Foundation, explores the fundamentals of what it will take to build the metaverse in a way that’s commercially sustainable – that is, decentralised and interoperable.
The evolution of cellular technology has had a major effect on the economy and labour market. Since the introduction of 1G in 1979, there has been a constant advancement in this field. Although 6G technology is in the early R&D stages, it is already possible to evaluate its focus. It is also interesting to think of how it can shape the global economy, major industries, and workforce.
This article takes a look at some of the expected technology deployments in the course of the next 15 years, which iwill reduce time-to-market for new solutions and improve return on investment (ROI) for telcos. We’ll look at what this means for telcos’ assurance needs in meeting urgent business challenges flexibly, but still ensuring that KPIs and business objectives are met.
AR and mixed reality have been here a while, but what will it take for them to really take off? In this guest article, Sara Ghaemi argues that network evolution beyond today’s 5G will be essential for AR to come into its own.
