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.
