Ookla examined Speedtest Intelligence data from over 60.5 million Speedtest results during Q3 2020 to see how much speeds have
improved, where download speeds are the fastest at the country and capital level, where 5G deployments have increased and what worldwide 5G coverage looks like now.
The focus of this report is two-fold: Explain how 5G technology will unlock entirely new groundbreaking applications simply not possible today, and detail how service providers can use this technology to create value and revenue in the enterprise and consumer spaces.
This white paper focuses on the two most common network data sources used by DDoS mitigation solutions, deep packet inspection and flow-based statistical traffic sampling, and will highlight the advantages of deep packet inspection in the context of 5G DDoS challenges.
This white paper provides an overview of various global operator trials and deployments taking place, as well as a discussion on key motivations and challenges that operators face as they consider the move from a traditional proprietary network to a multi-vendor Open RAN platform.
This paper discusses how 5G private networks are suitable for different groups of applications and details the specific architectures that are applicable in building a private network.
Given that the initial investments in 5G edge buildouts
will include much more routing, MNOs will need
to ensure that their choices can meet this set of
requirements in order to futureproof their choices.
To find out when and how organizations are planning to deploy 5G in their operations, Nokia conducted in-depth research with 1,000 IT decision-makers across seven vertical sectors and two key geographies: the US and the UK.
This white paper provides the specification for nFAPI, an extension where small cell functionality resides partially in a virtual network function (VNF) and partially in a physical network function (PNF).
This paper explores the challenges that need to be considered and provides a framework to assess IoT projects to make the optimum choice for connectivity options.
This white paper argues that edge cloud is integral to the 5G system design and to operators' ability to offer high performance services to advanced enterprise customers.
How far down the path toward vRAN are the carriers, what are the drivers and inhibitors, and what vRAN architectural choices are they making? To answer these questions, Heavy Reading conducted a survey in November 2019 of 81 service providers.
In this white paper, Heavy Reading looks specifically at network slicing: what it is, why it is needed, what some of its dependencies are, and how the CSPs are likely to monetize it.
This Heavy Reading paper examines the key assurance challenges operators anticipate for 5G, the monitoring capabilities they will need, and their top priorities for the automation of service assurance.
The Heavy Reading 2020 5G Network & Service Strategies Operator Survey is designed to provide insight into how operators will scale 5G networks and identify the service strategies operators believe will drive investment and customer value.
NGMN's second 5G white paper highlights some of the vertical industries that 5G will progressively support, showing how mobile network operators can provide both network and services to meet the varied requirements of the different markets.
This report discusses some of the challenges that 5G and NFV pose for service assurance systems as well as some of the architectural considerations for service assurance systems.
The main purpose of this document is to introduce the basic terminology, use cases and standards for extending TSN capabilities over wireless networks.
Speedtest Intelligence reveals AT&T was the fastest mobile operator in the US in Q2 2020 with a Speed Score of 41.23 on modern chipsets in competitive geographies.
This white paper aims to help the communication service providers concerned with 5G network management to familiarize themselves with the new OSS concepts and solutions in preparation for 5G network deployment.
Traditionally, point-to-point dark fiber has been the transport technology of choice for wireless networks but can quickly become cost prohibitive in certain scenarios. This paper focuses on innovative backhaul, midhaul and fronthaul transport technologies for 5G networks to address this gap.
The next and faster version of 5G is the millimeter-wave (mmWave) 5G; this white paper presents some of the disruptive technologies around beamformers that can aid in a faster mmWave 5G deployment.
In late 2019, Nokia and Omdia surveyed 172 service providers around the world to better understand their current thinking about 5G and specifically the eight 5G use case categories identified by Nokia Bell Labs.
