This document discusses the digital transformation of telecommunication networks through new technologies like NFV/SDN. It covers several topics:
1. The evolution of networks from 4G to 4.5G to 5G and the transition to virtualized platforms.
2. Scenarios driving network transformation like the internet of things and tactile internet that will require networks to support higher data rates, lower latency, and more connections.
3. The challenges of planning networks to support new technologies and services while balancing costs and optimizing resources.
There has been no shortage of edge computing activities during 2017, in both the telco and web-scale
domains. Several Tier One communication service providers (CSPs), including AT&T, China Mobile, and
Deutsche Telecom (DT), have announced that edge computing will be a key component of their future
network strategies and expect that several new use cases will be powered by edge servers. In the cloud
domain, Amazon, Facebook, and Google are pushing further toward the edge of their own networks, creating
more points of presence throughout the world. Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods in the United States
could also be interpreted as a first attempt to obtain real estate across the U.S. market that can be used
for Amazon’s edge servers. In fact, all major web-scale companies—Amazon, Google, and Microsoft—have
announced edge computing services that are driven by IoT use cases.

Discusses about: interefence mitigation; synchronism and latency management; high capilarity optical transport challenges; network optimization challenges and AI bennefits; importance of public policy and others.
Advances in telco, IT and new space bring greater opportunity, but also new complexities that need to be solved for that opportunity to be realized. And much of this falls on the shoulders of the ground segment industry.
The fifth generation (5G) technologies ushering in a new era of digital transformation across industries. With the promise of extreme bandwidth ( nearly 100 times faster than 4G),
ultra-low latency, high levels of security and reliability, 5G holds the promise to transform industries in ways we’re just
beginning to comprehend. The 5G technologies will change the way we connect, consume information and work. More importantly, it brings new capabilities to businesses, enabling them to deliver ground breaking solutions that reach across societies.

Intends to analyze the challenges for low latency services and upcoming new data opportunities. Describes the Internet data service waves: Internet Mobile; Internet of Things and now Tactile Internet, how low latency is becoming the king and new data services, the main attribute. Tactile Internet will open immersive services experience beyond current audiovisual ones, but it depends to understand the human sense reaction idiosyncrasies. Also for IoT, how latency will affect overall productive processes since new robotics control for Industry 4.0 to remote surgery. It introduces the Edge Computing as one the most important toll to reduce latency by facilitating data processing at or near the source of data generation. I.e., Edge Computing avoids the application data travels from the source to very far application and processing hosts. But the latency reduction does not have an unique strategy, and it requires to have transport network proper dimensioned and configured can certainly improve the network low latency. In addition, new transport architecture with simplification collapsing network layers, network aware multidomain control, automation etc. will be definitively imperative for optimizing latency for new critical applications. Improving processor performance using technologies beyond regular x86 servers, such as: GPUs, FPGA, DPDK etc, can reduce the time of workloads and delivering/returning data to user application with readiness.
In terms of low latency opportunities, accordingly to Chatan Sharma Consulting, Edge Internet economy will be over $4.1 Trillion worldwide. The initial growth will come from Edge serving existing use cases and will gradually be accelerated by the new use cases as the deployment becomes more widespread and developers learn to take advantage of the Edge Internet architecture for applications across industry domains in all major markets. But for MNOs, Edge Computing will open a several opportunities such as Service Integration, Managed Services, IaaS/PaaS/SaaS, new collocation business modelling etc. Besides latency, in general Edge Computing can bring an immediate benefit around local traffic offloading that implies in reducing overall CapEx cost. Higher Traffic Density can rapidly justify the Edge Computing deployment.
The document discusses the transformation of distribution system operators (DSOs) to actively manage distributed energy resources on the grid. It notes that as more renewable generation and electric vehicles are connected, the distribution grid will no longer behave as a "copper plate" and DSOs will need new competencies in real-time forecasting, flexibility procurement, and grid-customer interactions. It also addresses challenges around grid tariffs, data access and standardization, platform selection, and ensuring the transformation is affordable and equitable for all customers.
The battle for the spectrum may also extend to the more distant 6G construction. While spectrum sharing really comes to reality from the technical blueprint, the support of the AI industry is indispensable.
Wireless communication technology takes a leap about every ten years, and every generation has fundamentally changed the world. For the next-generation 5G communications technology, the industry's more consistent goal is to achieve commercial deployment in 2020. In 2015, the global development of 5G technology entered a crucial period for technical R&D and standardization preparation. It has completed the key content of the 5th generation of mobile communication naming, vision, and timetable, and initiated the 5G standard before this year. Compared to previous generations of networks, 5G will play a bigger role - create a connection framework for everything.

CSPs generate vast amounts of data from customers, networks, devices, and applications. Analytics and machine learning play a key role in CSP digital transformation by analyzing this data to enhance customer experience, optimize networks, reduce costs and fraud, and enable new revenue streams. The top use cases for telecom analytics are customer experience optimization, IoT and digital services, network optimization, and operational analytics like cybersecurity and revenue assurance. As 5G networks are deployed, generating even more data, CSPs can use analytics to capitalize on new 5G opportunities and monetize their investments.
5G networks will require architectural changes to support new capabilities and use cases. Key changes include adopting a cloud-native architecture with network softwarization using NFV, SDN, and network slicing. This will allow the network to be controlled by software and separated into multiple virtual networks. The 5G radio access network architecture will also change with the introduction of cloud-RAN to replace distributed base stations and reduce small cell deployment costs.

The Business Conundrum Facing Manufacturers
Manufacturing companies have traditionally
had an on-again-off-again relationship with
technology. However, the paradigm shift driven
by global manufacturing and distribution,
combined with rapid digital innovation, is
changing this equation.
Communications service providers need to create an optimal balance between their network operations center (NOC), service operations center (SOC), and experience operations center (EOC) in order to effectively track customer experience across the network and services. As customer demands increase with new technologies, the responsibilities of the NOC, SOC and EOC are blurring. To differentiate themselves, providers must monitor customer experience holistically across these three centers. Transitioning to also focus on SOC and EOC operations beyond just the NOC will allow providers to close the gap between perceived and actual customer experience.

Small Cells: Powering 5G and
Smart Cities
Industry reports suggest that there will be
approximately 2.5 billion 5G users by 2025,
i.e., around 40% of the world’s population.
Needless to say, the need to create an agile,
robust, and scalable network that connects
billions of people and things worldwide and
allows businesses to leverage the latest
technologies to increase efficiency cost-
effectively cannot be understated.
The present-day, largely macrocell networks
need to evolve into dense and ultra-dense
heterogeneous networks to deliver on the
promise of 5G. Soon, these ultra-dense
heterogeneous networks or UDNs will cover
both indoor and outdoor areas in urban centers
to provide pervasive coverage and reliable
services. Infrastructure such as towers, street
lights, traffic lights, utility poles and, in some
locations, even street utilities such as kiosks,
dustbins, and manholes will end up becoming
a part of 5G UDNs, in turn, speeding up the
deployment of smart city networks.
While the initial focus of 5G is on Fixed
Wireless Access (FWA) and faster consumer
data services, it is only a fraction of what the
technology can achieve. As UDNs become
prevalent and as city infrastructure becomes
part of 5G heterogeneous networks, 5G
will be able to undertake real-time critical
communications as well. The technology will
also play a crucial role in transforming public
safety infrastructure and making it easier to
provide eHealth services and education in
remote and rural areas.
To move toward 5G, networks need to be
virtualized, interoperable, and hyper-dense.
A key component of UDNs is small cells, which
help in enhancing network capacity, coverage,
and density, especially indoors. Small cells are
inherently compact base units that are installed
every few hundred feet and are crucial to
offering mobile 5G customers with dependable
data services and seamless data handoff.
Communications service providers (CSPs)
have already started deploying small cells to
move towards UDNs. According to the Small
Cells Forum, nearly 80% of mobile network
operators plan to have a dense heterogeneous
network by 2020, and of this, 30 % have already
planned migration to 5G.
Abstract
Unlike any other previous communications technology, 5G is not just about
improved speed—it is set to digitize all aspects of our lives and promises to change
the world profoundly. To gear up for this momentous shift, communications
service providers must upgrade and modernize networks and prepare them for
the 5G era. Powered by small cells, Ultra Dense Networks (UDNs) are going to be
the cornerstone of a 5G network. UDNs will help not just in providing ubiquitous
coverage, but also help enable extremely low latency of less than 1 millisecond and
high broadband speeds, driving a number of 5G use cases including smart cities,
Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), augmented reality (AR), virtual
reality (VR) and more.

Why 5G Small Cells Now?
Apart from being crucial to delivering reliable, consistent services to subscribers, 5G small cells also
help in better spectral efficiency, and enhance network performance and subscriber experience.
We believe that 5G will be the catalyst that will take small cell deployment mainstream.
Here are a few compelling reasons why small cells are all set to dominate the 5G networks:
Leveraging mmWave With Small Cells
Millimeter Wave (mmWave) spectrum holds
massive potential for speed, capacity, and
low latency for the 5G network. Utilization of
mmWave is going to be critical to the success
of a 5G network, and this is not possible via the
macro network. Lower frequencies, used for
LTE services, have more signal range. However,
many smart city applications such as IoT
demand dense networks. mmWave spectrum
can be used for this with the help of small cells.
Small cells make dense deployments possible,
especially indoors where most of the data
is actually consumed. They will also allow
service providers to meet the mounting data
traffic demand with superior speed and cost-
effectiveness.
Accurate network planning also reduces the
number and length of physical site-surveys.
LiDAR-based 3D digital surveys to generate
highly precise terrain and obstacle models for
use in RF planning can bring down the time
spent on site surveys. It allows extracting
features and 3D derivative objects such as
poles, trees, terrain models, and buildings.
LiDAR site survey inputs that can be fed
to a site selection solution for an accurate
estimate of offload potential are critical and
are calculated based on geographical location
and volume of traffic demand. It’s essential to
identify these traffic hotspots accurately.
At Cyient, we use LiDAR-based 3D digital
surveys to provide a new level of precision.
Smart Networks for Smart Cities
5G will drive the growth of smart cities,
which promise to offer a more sustainable
and better quality of life overall. Several
futuristic applications such as vehicle traffic
management and electrical grid smart city
applications will assist city administrations
in improved management. A smart city
requires a vast ecosystem of sensors, mobile
devices, data centers, and reliable and robust
communications networks.
Many smart city applications and use cases
will require best-in-class communications
network in the indoor environment, which is
usually an issue in the macrocell environment.
Small cells help in providing ubiquitous
coverage and in amplifying the signal in the
indoor setup, making it possible for many
important use cases to function.
Several CSPs have already started testing and
deploying 5G-FWA across the United States
to leverage the potential and opportunities
offered by smart cities. Smart city applications
of 5G IoT technology have the potential to
revitalize local economies by improving the
livability of communities and bringing down
the operating costs for local infrastructure.
The benefits of these investments are long-
lasting. A 2017 industry report suggests that
vehicle traffic management and electrical grid
smart city applications alone could produce
$160 billion in savings by reducing energy
usage, traffic congestion, and fuel costs.
5. 03
Communications | Whitepaper
Site selection combines various inputs such as
3D digital site survey, call traces, MDT server
data, social network data, leasing weights,
leasing cost, backhaul cost, availability of
power, RAD center, friendliness of owner,
crowdsourcing data, and more with the goal
of enhancing user experience while allowing
engineers to focus on solutions and maximize
CAPEX and OPEX.
Leapfrog with Beamforming
The overall capacity of small cells can be
enhanced by using techniques such as
beamforming, which are going to play a crucial
role in 5G networks. Similar to the 4G world,
there will be a significant number of two-three
sector deployments (two 180-degree sectors
or three 120-degree sectors) in beamforming.
These are discrete beams that pick an element
in an antenna, whether facing the customer
or the multi-path. Energy is focused on that
one element within that one sector and cuts
off transmission on all other elements in the
sector. It is formed based on the feedback it
gets from the UE.
A significant advantage is that the signal
is not sprayed over the 120-degrees, and
interference is greatly reduced. When the
interference is reduced, the gain of the carrier
increases because the signal is focused. Link
budget can also be improved, which helps
with millimeter wave. An improved link budget
equates to an improvement in signal quality and
coverage distance.
Smart city apps will
require next-gen
telecom networks—
traffic management
and electrical grid apps
alone could help save
$160 Bn by reducing
energy and fuel costs.

Communications | Whitepaper
Are We There Yet?
There is little doubt that 5G networks will
need to include small cells as a key component
of their strategy given how crucial they are
for delivering reliable coverage and high-
speed connectivity, and making 5G use
cases possible. It will also improve network
performance and capacity. Small cells will be
indispensable in providing a dependable, ultra-
fast, and low latency 5G services in the near
future.
