The 5 g wireless ecosystem: 2016 2030 - technologies, applications, vertic...marketresearchreports.biz
While LTE and LTE-Advanced deployments are still underway, mobile operators and vendors have already embarked on R&D initiatives to develop so-called “5G” technology, with a vision of commercialization by 2020. 5G is essentially a revolutionary paradigm shift in wireless networking to support the throughput, latency and scalability requirements of future use cases such as extreme bandwidth augmented reality applications and connectivity management for Billions of M2M (Machine to Machine) devices.
Although 5G is yet to be standardized, vendors are aggressively investing in 5G development efforts with a principal focus on new air interface transmission schemes, higher frequency bands and advanced antenna technologies such as Massive MIMO and beamforming. With large scale commercial deployments expected to begin in 2020, we estimate that 5G networks will generate nearly $250 Billion in annual service revenue by 2025.

With cableco B2B revenues expected to quadruple by the end of this year, it’s no surprise that forward-thinking agents increasingly are opting to add cablecos to their portfolios. In addition to offering competitive and innovative services that suit an agent’s bottom line, cablecos present agents with benefits such as state-of-the-art infrastructure and established market presence. And with the demand for telecom services growing and the traditional telco market shrinking, cablecos are stepping in to satisfy the needs of a burgeoning market with whom, oftentimes, cablecos already have an established relationship. Whether it’s their robust offerings, their cost savings, or their trend-setting services, cablecos now “have emerged as the logical choice” for agents, Channel Partners reports.
As the Networked Society emerges, with everything connected and an increasing number of processes using ICT to reach their full potential, connectivity needs to change. It needs to be differentiated, and the network must actively contribute to the overall service experience. Networks must be programmable to provide the right performance, at the right time.

The relationship between IT and Telecom
Today, telecommunications has evolved to facilitate communication through computers, cloud-based technology, and similar other advanced IT technologies that were unimaginable even a decade ago. People no longer need to be in the office to connect with their teammates, VoIP systems can be integrated with an app to make connections quicker! Thus, enabling a tech-savvy ecosystem that facilitates improved employee experience and higher productivity for a business.
Role of IT in the Telecom Industry:
1. Cloud Computing
Cloud networking inherently simplifies and speeds up networking functionalities through the use of virtual routers, bridges, and adapters. Telecoms are leveraging this property of cloud computing to create Virtualized Radio Access Networks (vRAN) facilitating agility, flexibility, and efficiency in mobile networks.
2. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
Three out of four business executives believe that AI will drive efficiency in the future says Harvard Business Review (HBR). Innovative and forward-facing providers are already pairing AI with ML and other emerging technologies to improve learning, optimize performance, and enhance consumer satisfaction. The role of IT-based services like data science and analytics, in the telecom industry, is what brings services like customized UX and predictive maintenance to end-users.
3. Natural Language Processing (NLP)
For every minute a customer waits to resolve their problem, the Consumer Service Index (CSI) takes a dive. Walmart resolved this issue with the help of NLP powered by telecom services. Their bot now resolves up to 90% of consumer queries.

Satellite technology has, is and will continue to play a critical role in enterprise markets, particularly for remote
and underserved locations. This is evident in the energy sector where satellite communications are often the
lifeline, if not the only link, for personnel and critical assets such as those in offshore oil platforms. However, urban
centers require satellite connectivity as well, and many industries including retail and banking have adopted
satcom solutions as part of their primary mode of communication. Back-up services likewise take up demand
for both remote and urban premises.

Wi-Fi New Service Models For Next Generation NetworksGreen Packet
In this new era of explosive mobile data growth, rapid rise in mobile broadband services and rich digital content are contributing to unprecedented level of stress on mobile networks. Operators are feeling the pinch on their business models with the arrival of smart devices, leaving them in anxiety and unable to respond to the deluge of data.
As a measure to reduce congestion on their network, several tier 1 operators have discontinued unlimited data plans and launched tiered plans to ensure network performance. At the same time, operators do not want to risk losing a significant growing market of smartphone users that are looking for value added services. It is a challenge for operators to sustain the wave of data, let alone address the dwindling ARPU as the demand of data is outstripping the rate of supply.
The following section of this paper describes the possible options that operators can embrace to overcome the capacity crunch through innovative service models, the impact of Wi-Fi on delivering the right service experience and how emerging technology is pushing further the expectations of “big data”.
In this presentation, Manoj introduces the concept of SMAC and discusses technological as well as platform trends. Manoj's interest area lies in cloud computing because of advantages in cost reduction and scalability.
Cloud is one of that kind of digital services that is already here and materialized. Cloud services landscape is becoming more and more dense but still there is a chance for telecom players to take part in that field. Unfortunately, Communication Service Providers are late to come in and therefore it is not sufficient to put computing capacities and just sell them anymore. The economy of scale reached by current industry leaders can barely be beaten even by the largest CSPs. Therefore, some other smarter options should be found to compete with likes of Amazon, Microsoft and Google. This ppt paper is just an effort to think of CSPs role in cloud services domain and any ideas and suggestions for further discussion is very welcome.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Key Trends Shaping the Future of Infrastructure.pdf
Cloud Consumption Trends in Telecom
1. Cloud Consumption Trends in Telecom
Cloud computing, along with mobility increasing percolation of broadband, is aiding the creation of a
networked society. Moving towards a digitally connected world, telecom operators have a unique
opportunity to position themselves and capitalise the growth of cloud services – both as service providers
and adopters of the technology. With rising global competition, digitization and the spread of Internet-
based communication services, a rift has been created in the market. Due to this, telecom operators have
started to leverage significant investment they have made in the already existing infrastructure. With the
success of cloud computing in the enterprise realm, telecom operators seem contingent upon the cloud for
reaping the benefits of economies of scale, cost-effectiveness, improving agility and scalability. As an
additional advantage, it also removes dependency of telecom sector from traditional revenue streams.
With the development of more and more applications these days, the very first emerging trend that we see
is – as Consumption of Applications is increasing be it in-house applications like Airtel One or aggregated
applications like Tapzo providing bundled services, it is helping telecom industry to achieve higher value in
terms of customer experience. Moreover, using cloud in telecom assists in Solving major connectivity
challenges for on field workers and provisions the digital economy further which is constantly changing
end user needs. Another significant trend that we can notice is Technology upgrade to 4G - As per Indian
Telecom Sector Report, All the providers are pushing for increasing the 4G penetration and significant
investments have been seen in this effort. Few examples are: Jio deciding to invest 30,000 crores more into
4G in 2017; Idea raising 500 crores more to fund 4G expansion; Airtel under its LEAP program announced
in Nov 2015 has already decided to invest 60,000 crores on 4G till 2018. With these trends dominating the
telecom arena, we look forward for further penetration of Cloud in this realm.
Adoption of Cloud in Telecom:
Critically, cloud computing is revolutionising the way we provision Information and Communication
Technology resources. With the rising competition, Over-the-top players, offering applications and
streaming content directly to consumers 24*7, have increased their dominance along with increasing
engagement in the core communication services. As per An Exclusive Whitepaper by Frost & Sullivan on
Industry Outlook for the Indian Telecom and Broadcast Industry, Whatsapp, Line, Viber and Apple’s
iMessage represent more than 80% of all messaging traffic. As cloud computing gains traction, more and
more applications and data are being moved from user premises and equipments to the internet. Infact,
without access networks, services and data will not be available for the users, therefore being connected
has become the need of the hour. Moreover, connectivity increases the value of access networks and
provides network service providers with new business opportunities – justifying the adoption of cloud in
telecom realm.
2. Within telecom sector, investments in software (SaaS) is rising significantly wherein SaaS enables consumers
to use provider applications that run on a cloud infrastructure. Reason of growth in this area is clear though
since this is a continuously developing field with a huge scope of development in future. Along with this,
PaaS enables consumers to create and deploy applications onto the cloud infrastructure and IaaS enables
them to access processing, storage, networks and other fundamental computing resources in order to
deploy and run arbitrary software, including operating systems and applications. However, due to less
opportunities, saturated growth and less scope of work, these services does not put together significant
investment opportunities.
Unlocking Enhanced Communication & Customer Experience through Cloud Consumption
With the rising demand of collaboration, cloud and security solutions for telecom operators, there are
opportunities for differentiation through geographic expertise, industry-specific solutions and quality.
Telecom operators can therefore benefit from established customer relationships within enterprises that
can be leveraged by providing cloud services. Few pointers supporting this fact are:
The explosive growth of mobile access into the cloud through smartphone applications plays
strongly to operator’s strengths in enriching customer relationships even more.
Telecom operators can greatly benefit as users of the technology as many of their business
operations can be streamlined through clouds to realise flexibility, faster time-to-market and cost
savings.
They can also choose to simultaneously commercialise those cloud applications to open up
opportunities in traditional markets such as outsourced billing for over-the-top (OTT) players, or as
a vehicle to enter emerging segments like cloud-based machine-to-machine (M2M) platforms for
vertical industries.
Operators should consider cloud computing as an integral part of their strategies. As they shift from
selling communications services to servicing on-demand ICT capacities, an understanding of the
evolving cloud ecosystem, partnerships and business models will be vital. Their networks, business
processes, support systems and organisational structure must be optimised to facilitate the
proliferation and consumption of cloud services.
The Road Ahead in Telecom - Cloud Adoption
Since recurring revenue models are already changing the status quo of traditional solution models,
therefore for cloud consumption in the telecom arena, few expectations in the near future could be:
Consumers of the Cloud Subscription & Consumption of Cloud models will continue to grow.
3. End users will focus on perpetual licensing with low focus on hardware .
As per a Capgemini report Telecom industry trends 2020, the next major trend in telecom that
might impact is the explosion of connected devices. This could add billions of new connected data
sources globally by 2020.
Consumption model will replace subscription billing because it's better for business.
Cloud monetization will pave the way for better solutions.
Accordingto the Global telecommunicationsstudy:navigatingthe roadto 2020, growth
opportunitiesexistacrossinformationandcommunicationstechnology(ICT).M2Mconnections
are forecastto reach1b by2020, representing10% of all mobile connectionsasthe Internetof
Things(IoT) takesshape, while enterprisesare adoptingcloudservicesinevergreaternumbers.
Implementation of different virtualization technologies, different application program interfaces
(APIs) to request and control resources, and different network and connectivity environments.
As per Deloitte’s Reporton Telecommunication Industry Outlook 2017, with the rise of 5G networks,
an enormous wave of change promises to spark starting in 2017. While the technology has not yet
been fully defined, carriers are proceeding with lab and field trials for at least the basic connectivity
elements in their race to stay competitive.
In the times to follow, telecom industry will continue to be the epicenter of innovation, digitization growth
and disruption by newer technologies. Cloud will get embedded even more in the fabric of society today
giving further momentum to the telecom. As penetration expands, smartphones prices goes down,
connectivity proliferates beyond urban and suburban subscription bases and number of connected things
continues to grow - cloud space in telecom will be redefined.
