5. So … what is the next big thing?
DISTRIBUTED CLOUD
Driven by 5 Technology trends
5G
IOT
AI
VR
AR

6. 5G network, 5G radio , 5G applications
Open Source Networking
Virtualization & Cloud
SDN/NFV with Automation

5G
Network
5G
Applica0ons
10x Higher speed (above 10 Gbps)
10x Lower Latency (below 1 ms)
New bands above 20 GHz

Use Cases beyond Mobile
Fixed Wireless for Residential
New Enterprise Verticals
A
whole
new
world
that
will
mandate
an
automated
network

7. IOT – The number & data impact
Connec0ons
per
Minute
&
Zbytes
of
data
are
the
biggest
network
challenges

8. IoT Technology & Network Implications
• Low Power Wide Area (LPWA)
- Consumer Devices such as “stand-alone” Wearables with 10 years life
- Enterprise IoT sensors for Smart Asset tracking, Smart Cities, Retail,
Transportation
• NB-LTE (3GPP IoT technology)
- Low Speed (<300 kbps) and low power transmission in attractive frequency
bands below 1 GHz
- Leading technology for LPWA IoT since operators worldwide will deploy it
in existing base stations
Low
Latency
&
Network
Automa0on
are
MANDATORY

9. The VR/AR Market by 2020
Augmented/Virtual Reality to hit $150 billion disrupting mobile

10. AI/VR/AR Use Cases
1. Conversational UI using
Natural Language Interaction
2. Face recognition
3. Autonomous driving
4. Regionalized AI services with
Location and Personality
5. PlayStation VR, Oculus (avoid
sea-sickness symptoms)
6. Online gaming VR
7. Augmented Reality interaction
with real mobile environment
8. And many more
High

Network

11. The Need: A Distributed Cloud
1. In a 5G world distributed cloud is to have a data center at the
edge virtualizing e.g. Central Office and Base Station
2. Capacity and Latency performance critical
3. Mobility meets Virtualization
4. Local hubs for orchestration and analytics will be needed
including location and personality
Note,
there
are
other
names
being
used
for
this
trend.

12. Today: OPEN NETWORK = NEW TELECOM
1. Open Network Projects such as ONAP, OPNFV .. proves that
leading international carriers (AT&T, China Mobile ..) agree that
Open Source is a fundamental way forward for networking
2. Traditional Standardization Forum such as 3GPP and ETSI are as
important as ever in standardizing Network Protocols and Access
Technology.
3. Together Open Network and Standardization will create the future

13. Future of Open Networking & Telecom
1. Closer relation between OPEN NETWORK AND TELECOM
STANDARDIZATION .
2. Better HARMONIZATION between different ON groups
- Common foundation in LF & other organizations
- Better Re-use between groups
3. More focus on e2e and conceptual products in open networks
