The scale of small cell deployments requires leaner models so that the management traffic can remain a small overhead in the network. The Small Cell Forum is therefore looking at which management settings and reports might be superfluous for small cells, as well as compression techniques, in work that will be highly complementary to that of O-RAN.

Mobile operators should accelerate edge computing initiatives rather than wait for 5G to mature. The Deutsche Telekom infrastructure in Germany using MobiledgeX deployment shows the practicality of 4G edge adaptation that evolves naturally into 5G.
Open RAN initiatives leverage the virtualization of functions which create opportunities for innovation. In this white paper, you’ll learn advantages to putting the approach to work for operators in all stages of deployment.
This paper presents a TCO analysis comparing the economics of a converged IP/MPLS transport network with more traditional dedicated networks. The results demonstrate an overall TCO savings of 62%, CAPEX savings of 60%, and OPEX savings of 66%.
A disaggregated and distributed software-defined mobile network (SDN) is not only possible, but also provides tangible economic and technical benefits. This white paper explains how existing network operators can evolve to an SDN
When it comes to 5G and the potential of the gaming market, the smartest operators will be those who invest to get a profitable slice of the market.
Planning and deploying a mobile network to support a myriad of 5G applications will be no easy feat, considering the complexities of these new architectures and the interdependencies between the RAN and transport network.

One of the barriers to upgrading to 5G smartphones is the high price of the device coupled with the available coverage of the new technology. This high-price component is likely here for a while, but chip manufacturers are building plans to move their 5G technology on to chips (called 5G System on Chip (SoC)) for use in mid-level devices targeted to price-conscious consumers.
