By enhancing existing mobile and fixed communications services and enabling a range of new solutions (e.g. augmented/virtual reality, analytics supported by artificial intelligence), it promises to have significant impact on consumer experiences, business processes and operator revenue models.
However, these promises will only be fulfilled if 5G is deployed in a new way that is closely aligned to digital strategies and to emerging trends, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), that can drive new business models.
Most mobile operators only plan a commercial launch of 5G services from 2020 onwards. Given the limited number of 5G deployments to date, they often lack visibility about key success factors of 5G, and how to maximise the impact of their roll-outs. In creating the industry’s first 5G maturity index, Nokia and Analysys Mason have identified six areas of best practice which, if adopted, will greatly increase operators’ chances of being successful in the 5G era.

Beyond 3 G 4 G Lte Strategies For Operators In EuropeLuis Orozco
There are three main 4G standards being considered by telecom operators: LTE, Mobile WiMAX, and UMB. Of these, LTE is seen as the most likely to achieve widespread adoption in Europe and other developed markets due to its evolution from existing GSM networks. Mobile WiMAX may still see some niche adoption as a complementary technology, but LTE is positioned to become the dominant 4G standard deployed by major operators. A key decision for operators is which 4G technology to adopt as they upgrade networks to handle rapidly growing mobile data traffic and enable new high-bandwidth services.

This document discusses three approaches to enabling real-time capabilities in Linux:
1) The PREEMPT_RT kernel patch, which modifies Linux to allow full preemption and reduce jitter through priority inheritance. This adds some overhead.
2) User space partitioning, which isolates CPU cores to run single POSIX threads without kernel interference, enabling very low overhead handling of events.
3) Dual-OS partitioning, which runs a real-time executive on isolated CPU cores entirely separate from the Linux kernel for maximum determinism and minimal latency. Each approach provides different performance, latency, and functionality trade-offs.

3. While marketers and advertisers are
promoting 5G and its capabilities, it’s easy to
forget the reality facing network operators:
not only are they tasked with deploying 5G
networks – a massive undertaking in itself
– but they also have to ensure that existing
services interoperate smoothly as
5G networks deliver on their promise
and provide a long-term, substantial
return on investment (ROI).
As such, it’s vital for operators to deploy 5G
networks that deliver technologically – high speed,
low latency, high throughput services – which
require significant changes in the core network.
Some of the key decisions to be taken along the
way include when a Standalone (SA) 5G architecture
is to be deployed and, crucially, whether current
and 5G data will continue to be managed in
vendor unique silos or via a network data layer
that supports multi-vendor service components.
To help answer these and other questions an
operator survey was recently commissioned.

Over half of mobile operators will move to
a network data layer in order to gain a unified

NEW MOMENTUM
FOR A NEW DECADE
37% of operators plan to begin to deploy
5G SA within two years. (27% of operators
within 12-18 months with a further 10%
within two years).
With the maturity of 3GPP standards, service
providers now see a path for standalone (SA) and
non-standalone (NSA) infrastructure. When 3GPP
Release 16 freezes at the end of Q1 2020, it should
provide final inputs on the Phase 2 framework and
protocols etc. This will enable communications service
providers (CSPs) to move confidently to the new 5G
Service Based Architecture (SBA) infrastructure.
This timeline is supported by operators in our survey,
49% of whom plan to deploy 5G SA within the next
four years, with the majority starting to do so in the
next 18 months, as in Figure 1 on the following page.
(Sum of 12-18 months, 2 years, and 4 years). On the
flip side, well over a third (39%) have no agreed

As seen in Figure 2, around 85% of operators are
planning edge deployment, yet over half of ALL
respondent operators have not yet determined the
strategy for doing so. The business case needs to be
much clearer before operators will feel more comfortable.
This is probably why 32% of operators are going only
with limited, specific use cases first as follows:
Two operators will pilot Industrial Internet of

Two operators are focused on Smart Cities.
One operator has a pilot focused on a Federation

The next 18 months are critical for operators to make
far sighted choices that will create a flexible multi-

create a data environment that drives new services
and creates the flexibility needed for future business.
According to the C-level Exec Phillipines Operator,
mature CSPs who have a better handle on their
data would be able to move ahead with automation,

are not created equal. Different use cases demand
different approaches to achieve the desired levels of
latency, throughput and data store centralization or
decentralization, as well the type of synchronization
and automation for 4G/5G interworking.
Many CSPs wrongly believe that the adoption of a
network data layer will impact the way data flows are
matched, or the customer profile is unified, or how the
session data are handled, since they know that these
factors can determine how resilient, scalable, efficient,
practical and deployable distributed network data is.
In fact the opposite is true - a network data layer
not only allows legacy data stores and processes to
continue to perform as they always have, but allows
for a very low risk experimentation with distributed
data processing at the edge or slow migration to cloud
native software that externalizes its state information.
As CSPs see their peers not only increase flexibility and
reduce OPEX, but monetize new data and service value
with less disruption than vendor specific solutions,
network data layer adoption is likely to accelerate.

18. 5Overall, the message from operators is
clear: the 5G infrastructure capabilities are
just beginning to be sufficiently mature
to match specific business needs.
CSPs cannot revolutionize their services and their
operations overnight; some still believe they are avoiding
risk with slow deployment of resources for services at the
edge or reluctant adoption of a new data management
layer, until they see the proven business case.
Ironically this may lead to financial problems for such
overly cautious CSPs who incur the biggest risk of all
– the loss of new flexible 5G service opportunities.
Over the coming 18 months leading operators
are starting on a new decade of 5G infrastructure
deployment that will facilitate a flood of new services
for consumer, enterprise, government and wholesale
markets at a lower cost per GB than ever before.
As evidenced by the results of our survey and the
insightful comments from the 41 operators who provided
input, it is clear that they are aware of the challenges
they face and the need to build 5G networks right,
regardless of the near term pressure they feel.
We conclude that over the next 18-24 months
operators will begin to finalize decisions about 5G
Service Based Architecture, Mobile Edge Services
and the deployment of a network data layer that
will impact their long run success or failure.
As these decisions are made and 5G networks move
from theory to physical reality over the next decade,
service providers will discover the benefits of moving
to a new lower cost 5G SA infrastructure platform.
The time it took them to deliberate these strategic
choices will be nothing more than a distant memory.
