Dynamic end-to-end network chip is the key to 5G profit

In a recent joint research report by Strategy Analytics Service Operations Strategy Research Group and RCR Wireless "5G Meeting SDN / NFV - Web Slice Key to Unlocking 5G Profit Potential," points out that CSPs can 5G Dynamic End-to-End (E2E) Network Segmentation Boosts Earnings and Profit By analyzing cases such as BT and Verizon, Strategy Analytics looked at the early developments of its 5G slices and called for industry collaboration to address business and technical challenges and achieve 5G Network Slots ROI Commitment The RCR webinar and top-level interviews with this report and related topics include insights from Intel and InterDigital, the sponsors of the study, on key challenges and opportunities, including their commitment to advancing IETF and 3GPP Standard work progress.

The key findings of the study are: • Network slicing is a mechanism that enables communication service operators to dynamically allocate network resources to maximize customer value so that the 5G can serve new purposes and adapt to specific needs and Increase revenue opportunities Through dynamic end-to-end network slicing, the industry can begin to move toward a model where services can scale and shrink the use of network resources based on traffic requirements • 5G network slices will provide enterprise band To serve agility, enhanced security and 'just right' services, among other benefits.Networking can be achieved especially through the new MVNO or partner models for vertical and specific market segments / use cases, Enabling communications service providers to offer network-as-a-service (NaaS). "Strategy Analytics Service Director of Strategy Susan Welsh de Grimaldo suggested: 'As we move closer to a commercial 5G deployment, we call for the mobile industry to take action in 2018, In order to achieve the promise of network slicing: • Increase the business, MVNO and vertical industry commercial use case development, and 5G network Slicing requirements • Learning through further experimentation to provide input for development and business model development • Process and organizational changes needed to implement 5G network slicing • Develop common definitions and parameters for network slices across carriers Machine learning, analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are integrated into the development of web slices. '

Akbar Rahman, senior chief engineer at InterDigital, a research-based sponsor, explains that in order to support dynamic slicing, 'existing business relationships must exist and operators may have the most dynamic web-slicing systems available, but if they do not have the means to promote these API, there's no way to charge for it; I believe mobile operators will start to get started like Amazon or Google - they offer APIs and credit cards or other electronic billing systems. "Dr. Geng Wu, chief technology expert and director of wireless standards and advanced technologies at Intel, : 'The new challenges and opportunities are: how to transform networks, serve new application systems, new industries and start the next revolution with technology.' 'Added Caroline Chan, vice president and general manager of 5G Infrastructure at Intel Network Platforms team. : 'For 5G, you have to expand your ecosystem, start talking to people you do not normally talk to, know who actually paid for it, and are willing to adopt your technology. So willing to try and broaden your horizons, it's all Possible, because the underlying network will be more flexible and gentle. '

Maria Cuevas, Head of Mobile Core Network Research at BT, suggested: "Ultimately, we need to ensure that the cost of running multiple virtual networks does not exceed the extra revenue we expect from these services."

Sue Rudd, Director of Strategy Analytics Network and Services Platform, commented: 'While the report outlines many of the challenges that dynamic real-time control of network slicing faces, telecom service providers can now begin to try static service slicing and new business models to make the difference Services such as fixed-line mobile converged VNP based on on-demand bandwidth and E2E SLA.
