1. The document discusses the economics of introducing 4G networks in growth markets. It notes the rapid growth in data usage from smartphones and applications is putting pressure on networks and profitability.
2. Introducing 4G LTE networks can help address this issue through improved capabilities like higher speeds and lower latency. However, it also increases capital demands for mobile operators due to needs like additional spectrum, increased backhaul capacity, and denser radio networks.
3. Spectrum availability and pricing are significant challenges, as higher frequency spectrum requires much denser deployment but is often more expensive. Meeting rising backhaul demands from 4G also requires extensive fiber investment.
It was a great pleasure having this presentation presented at the Tehran 5G Conference in Iran this October, 2016. It kick started my thinking & analysis of the economics of 5G, While 5G have many great technology promises, a lot have to happen with our business models and economics to also cash in on those promises. Enjoy this presentation and stay tuned for many more on this important topic.
A special thanks to Minoo Abedi who presented this work at the conference in Tehran.
Carlos Lopez Blanco of Telefonica discusses a re-evaluation of "convergence" which has promised much but delivered little. Broadband must be seen as the key provision in convergence whilst policymakers need to overcome real challenges including a consistent enforcement of net neutrality principles, a strengthening of consumer trust and control and an alignment of international policy in data privacy and processing.
This slide pack gives an overview of what initiatives CSP/Telco's need to address to take advantage of Digital Transformation and next wave of Disruptive technologies to gain Customer confidence and improve Customer Experience using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning approach.

Mobile Network Operators need to continuously expand capacity to meet the rapid growth in mobile data consumption. Crucially, this extra capacity needs to be delivered where demand arises, including deep indoors and in areas that are covered by fewer mobile radio sites. While substantial amounts of mid-bands spectrum and high-band spectrum are becoming available, the gap in the amount between low-band (sub-1 GHz) and mid-bands is increasing.
The ecosystem surrounding the coexistence of NB-IoT and 5G has taken shape and continues to expand. The conditions for the Internet of Everything are beginning to mature. What is the relationship between NB-IoT and 5G?

According to requirements for 5G networks from various domains the upcoming 5G services are all about needs for high speed, ubiquitous availability, high reliability and ultra-low latency. The prevailing dilemmas operators are facing today are how to become great in customer satisfaction, what sort of services and applications to offer to residential, business and industrial users, and how to monetize these services and increase Average Revenue Per User. The proposed technology enablers and built-in intelligence in multi-access/metro, edge and core networks within a coherent ecosystem of ICT and other industrial and governmental sectors are of key success factors. These technologies enable applications and services to be efficiently coupled with networks and information flows. We also tackle intensively the efficiency of different ownership models of the networks, business processes and automation, and encourage innovation and change in business models that bring the transformation of economics and social interactions. As standards and regulations have always been on the frontier of our work, we actively follow the ongoing 5G work carried out by main standardization bodies and open source communities, and use numerous results of their work.

Delivered at the Network & Services Management Conference in Bonn, Germany on December 6th 2016. It comprises Deutsche Telekom's strategy and vision as it relates to real time network & services management and aggressive automation through AI and applied machine learning. It is fairly high-level but does include reference for further study and read-up, particular towards IETF and RTC publications.
Fixed Broadband Business Case - Short VersionAndre Fourie
The revenue that can be generated by an LTE base station is influenced by the quality of the signal received by the customer premise equipment (CPE). Most CPE come with omni-directional indoor antennas, but have provision for the connection to external antennas.
Substituting the indoor antennas for directional outdoor antennas has a marked effect on the data transfer speeds of the network. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, outdoor antennas are physically larger than their indoor counterparts and thus have a higher gain. The increase in antenna gain translates directly to an increase in received signal strength. The second advantage is that the outdoor antenna sits in an environment that has much better propagating properties than the indoor antenna. Tests have shown that data speeds 3-5 times faster are possible using external antennas compared to indoor antennas.
It is shown, using a primitive financial model that fairly large financial gains can be made by equipping CPE devices with external antennas. The summary financial effects below are well backed up by real life case studies and theory which interested readers can read in the remainder of this document.
Public conference on "LTE: new frequencies 2.6 GHz & 800 MHz – a chance for a new image of mobile telephony?", Friday October 8th, Warsaw, Poland.
What are the differences and relationships between LTE-M and NB-IoT?
What is LTE-M?
LTE-M, or LTE-Machine-to-Machine, is an LTE evolution-based IoT technology, called Low-Cost MTC in R12 and LTE enhanced MTC (eMTC) in R13, designed to meet the needs of IoT devices based on existing LTE carriers.
The full name of eMTC is enhanced Machine-Type Communication. It is the LTE network between machines using LTE communication for the IoT. It is often abbreviated as M2M.
A response to the growing interest in IoT and LPWAN, LTE-M is unique in that it can be very energy efficient and transmit up to 10 bytes of data per day, but can also transmit up to one megabit per second. LTE-M serves a very wide range of use cases.
The mobile broadband industry’s rapid migration to LTE has opened the door to malicious and non-malicious threats as a result of fundamental vulnerabilities in the all-IP LTE architecture. Consequently, security must be a foundational element of LTE network deployments. As the adoption of IPsec encryption for transporting LTE traffic continues to grow significantly, there is increasing need for a security gateway. This white paper discusses the evolving threat landscape, the economics and performance requirements of security solutions, and the role of the security gateway in LTE networks as subscribers ramp up by the millions every quarter and VoLTE services start to emerge.

I had the pleasure to provide this keynote at Deutsche Telekom AG Spectrum Summit 2022, talking about the enterprise value of being the best mobile network in a market or the word, as well as what it takes to make it to the top of the top mobile networks in the world.
I great privilege to end Ampleon Technical Conference 2021 (Nijmegen, Netherlands) with a keynote contribution on what makes Telco tick and more on what to expect from real 5G. It was as well more than 20 years since I had seen many of my old Philips colleagues (now Ampleon) which made this event very special for me as well. Of course, also super cool to see the innovation level and relevance to our deployed RAN infrastructure.
Keynote presentation at Day 2 Telecoms Europe 5G Conference. Describing, my view of the 5G standalone deployment dynamics, best timing and what benefits to customers and ourselves (MNOs) to expect. I genuinely believe that to have a successful 5G Core SA deployment we need to learn from New IT cloud native transformation journeys.
I developed this presentation to discuss the framework for automation and autonomic operations in particular in the Finance domain. It is high level introductory but includes guidance of how to best select AI and RPA projects with higher implementation success rates. If you are interested in a copy dont be shy! Reach out!
I gave this presentation at Deutsche Telekom AG's Digital Ethics Conference in Bonn on March 13 2019. It provides the background for how biases may occur in machine learning systems and what may go wrong if not corrected (or minimized).
This collection of slides are meant as a starting point and tutorial for the ones who want to understand AI Ethics and in particular the challenges around bias and fairness. Furthermore, I have also included studies on how we as humans perceive AI influence in our private as well as working lives.
My keynote from this weeks (June 12, 2018) 5G World conference in London. I focus here on AI for Telcos and in particular what can be done in the network and IT parts of the network. Making the point that there remains a lot of low hanging fruits which are simpler and easier to solve than present day image and NLP challenges. It is amazing how much you can do with fairly simple ML architectures with out going to state-of-art DL frameworks.

My presentation on the road to 5G at the 24th EMEA CTO Telecoms Forum. January 29th 2018, Berlin, Germany. 5G and AI has nothing to do with magic. They are real technologies. Why wait for 5G? Get started on LTE and on the path of conversion. Why AI, or more accurately machine learning, and intelligent automation is going to be crucial for managing an increasingly complex networked ultra-converged technology landscape.

Inspirational talk on AI (artificial intelligence) and machine learning, i.e., how to give birth to an AI. Introductory and intentionally kept simple for non experts and non technical executives. Care should be taken not too over interpret some of the intentional simplified statements in the presentation.
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. Not complex and should be relative easy to follow. Be aware that due to its high levelness (and no voice over) some care should be taken by the simplified examples used.
Keynote delivered at European CTO Telecoms Forum looking at Telco World beyond the initial roll-out and path to 5G. Will Marketing lapfrog out of the Access-based thinking and really sell what Technology enable with converged broadband networks, cloud and visualization supporting IoT, Industry 4.0, Connected Car@s (or X in general) and so forth.

Gave this presentation at the Telecoms World Middle East 2014, 29th September. Had a lot of fun putting this work together and got me thinking a lot about the future of networking and the challenges we (Telcos) will be facing in preparing our networks for the next thing. This is a bout the Next Thing although its in reality "hitting" us now.
Have fun and Enjoy!
In case you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to get back to me.
I enjoyed giving my "Small Cell Economics" presentation at the Small Cell MENA Conference in Dubai (October 7th, 2013). You will (or might) find this one particular provoking (even for me) but please bear in mind that the last thing I want is for you to think that Small Cells doesn't work or can be a great tool ... rather I like you to work on how to solve some of the problematic scaling issues in large-scale small cell networks.
In connection with the EU Water Project awarded to CNR Catania, I gave this inspirational talk to Physics Students at Catania University and old research colleagues on how to transition from Academia to the often very non-scientific world of Corporation. How to keep your sanity, curiosity (i.e., “But Why?”) and continue to have fun throughout your career.
Hereby my Broadband MEA 2013 keynote presentation (delivered 20 March 2013).It's an Extended Re-Mix, rather than the limited slides required for the 15 minutes talk. Hopefully this gives a more rounded view on Growth Dynamics related to mobile data demand and supply in mobile networks as well as the Economics involved (which is often forgotten when the usual suspects gets exited about x1,000 challenges).
