The rise of the innovation platform
Society and industry are transforming at an unprecedented rate. At the same time, the network platform is emerging as an innovation platform with the potential to offer all the connectivity, processing, storage and security needed by current and future applications. In my 2019 trends article, featured in this issue of Ericsson Technology Review, I share my view of the future network platform in relation to six key technology trends.
This issue of the magazine also addresses critical topics such as trust enablement, the extension of computing resources all the way to the edge of the mobile network, the growing impact of the cloud in the telco domain, overcoming latency and battery consumption challenges, and the need for end-to-end connectivity. I hope it provides you with valuable insights about how to overcome the challenges ahead and take full advantage of new opportunities.
BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL REALITIES
The key role that connectivity plays in our personal and professional lives has never been more obvious than it is today. Thankfully, despite the sudden, dramatic changes in our behavior earlier this year, networks all around the world have proven to be highly resilient. At Ericsson, we’re committed to ensuring that the network platform continues to improve its ability to meet the full range of societal needs as well as supporting enterprises to stay competitive in the long term. We know that greater agility and speed will be essential.
This issue of our magazine includes several articles that explain Ericsson’s approach to future network development, including my annual technology trends article. The seven trends on this year’s list serve as a critical cornerstone in the development of a common Ericsson vision of what future networks will provide, and what sort of technology evolution will be required to get there.

5G Enterprise Market by Network Type (Hybrid Network, Private Network), Operator Model, Infrastructure, Spectrum, Frequency Band, Organization Size, Application, Vertical, Region - Global Forecast to 2027
To meet the new connectivity requirements of the emerging IoT segment, 3GPP has taken evolutionary steps on both the network side and the device side. A single technology or solution cannot be ideal to all the different potential IoT applications, market situations and spectrum availability. As a result, the 3GPP standardizing several technologies, including Extended Coverage GSM (EC-GSM), LTE-M and NB-IoT.
LTE-M, NB-IoT and EC-GSM are all superior solutions to meet IoT requirements as a family of solutions, and can complement each other based on technology availability, use case requirements and deployment scenarios. The evolution for these technologies is shown in figure #5. Technical studies and normative work for the support of Machine Type Communication (MTC) as part of 3GPP LTE specifications for RAN began in 3GPP Release 12 and are continuing with the goals of developing features optimized for devices with MTC traffic.
Mobile data traffic volumes are expected to increase by a factor of four by 2025, and 45 percent of that traffic will be carried by 5G networks. To deliver on customer expectations in this rapidly changing environment, communication service providers must overcome challenges in three key areas: building sufficient capacity, resolving operational inefficiencies through automation and artificial intelligence, and improving service differentiation. This issue of ETR magazine provides insights about how to tackle all three.
Ericsson Technology Review: 5G BSS: Evolving BSS to fit the 5G economyEricsson
The 5G network evolution has opened up an abundance of new business opportunities for communication service providers (CSPs) in verticals such as industrial automation, security, health care and automotive. In order to successfully capitalize on them, CSPs must have business support systems (BSS) that are evolved to manage complex value chains and support new business models. Optimized information models and a high degree of automation are required to handle huge numbers of devices through open interfaces.
This Ericsson Technology Review article explains how 5G-evolved BSS can help CSPs transform themselves from traditional network developers to service enablers for 5G and the Internet of Things, and ultimately to service creators with the ability to collaborate beyond telecoms and establish lucrative digital value systems.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Creating a sensor-based IoT edge device is challenging, due to the multiple
design domains involved. But, creating an edge device that combines the
electronics using the traditional CMOS IC flow and a MEMS sensor on the same
silicon die can seem impossible. In fact, many IoT edge devices combine multiple
dies in a single package, separating electronics from the MEMS design. The
Tanner AMS IC design flow accommodates single or multiple die techniques for
successful IoT edge device design and verification, able to meet the unique
challenge of fusing CMOS IC and MEMS design on a single die.

75. U.S. Wireless Spectrum Overview
• The FCC regulates the use of radio frequencies within the U.S., assigning usage rights and conditions to
various bands across geographic sub-areas. ITU & WRC regulate internationally. Radio frequency physics
favor lower frequencies for greater signal carrying distance as well as structure & foliage penetration.
• Most non-governmental frequencies are licensed, often via auctions to commercial entities and reserved
exclusively for their use. Cellular (& unlicensed Wi-Fi) dominate mobile connectivity. Microwave &
millimeter wave are commonly used for broadcast, backhaul & PtP. FCC considering additional licensed
bands for commercial/public purposes by reallocating spectrum and at times relocating existing uses.
• A limited amount of unlicensed spectrum is currently available, however more is being considered or
processed for release. 902-928 MHz has been used for consumer and commercial devices since 1993. The
explosion of Wi-Fi is the result of developments in 2.4 & 5 GHz unlicensed bands. Mobile uses and the
emergence of IoT is driving demand for more unlicensed bandwidth & bringing new delivery protocols.
CBRS at 3550-3700 MHz is of special interest as a new shared unlicensed option. The FCC is considering
enabling flexible use of the 3.7-4.2 GHz Band. White spaces wireless will share unlicensed, reallocated
500-700 MHz TV bands reaching to 10 km NLOS now & up to 100 km in the future, outstanding for WRAN.

EHT aims to use up to 320-MHz channels in the 6 GHz band. Developers hope
that the 6 GHz band is cleared by 2020 for unlicensed use that would include both
Wi-Fi and cellular. Wi-Fi proponents aim to retrofit 802.11ax for 6 GHz by that time
and have an enhanced 6-GHz implementation available with EHT by 2023.
Cognitive radio capabilities with agile multiband frequency use are increasingly
utilized & continually advancing in devices & access points to optimize spread

107. LEDs can be engineered to produce practically any desired spectrum of visible
light. Blue or violet LEDs pump mixes of phosphors, which down-convert some of
the light and mix with the pump color to produce something humans perceive as
white light. Near-monochrome LEDs, whose spectrum amounts to a single sharp
peak, can be mixed at varying intensities to produce light of any apparent color in
a wide gamut. Hue is controlled over WiFi. The bulbs and router talk amongst
themselves using a wireless mesh network protocol called ZigBee, IEEE 802.15.4.

Energy Blockchain Peer-to-Peer & Transactive Marketplaces
Arizona Technology Council’s Policy Recommendations to the ACC
For Blockchain Use in Record Management & Energy Transactions
• Encourage the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) to work towards utilizing
blockchain for corporate records and filings initiating trials and pilots to develop
capabilities, gauge future direction, and, when appropriate, inaugurate full-scale
initiatives.
• Examine the potential to issue and trade securities on a blockchain platform.
• The ACC has opened a docket to examine the use of blockchain technology in Arizona’s
energy industry to help manage the distributed power generation and storage,
transactive energy, renewable energy credits, tokenization, IoT, cybersecurity, and other
applications for distributed ledger technologies on the grid.
191. 1) A growing adoption and awareness of the smart city concept by an expanding set of
government leaders. Not only does IDC see more demand for strategy development and
implementation road maps, but the requests come from cities, counties, states and central/federal
government agencies. We predict that by 2017, at least 20 of the world’s largest countries will
create national smart city policies to prioritize funding and document technical and business
guidelines.
2) A high variability in understanding the impact of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the
benefits and challenges that must be considered from new types of mobile and connected
things (drones, wearables, connected cars). We continue to see many of the same cities
investing in the smart city IoT, but even for cities with pilot projects, there is a lack of citywide
strategy at the level of guidelines for implementations. As such, we predict that in 2016, 90 percent
of cities worldwide will lack a comprehensive set of policies on the public and private use of drones,
sensors and devices. This will result in increased privacy and security risks. Similarly, we see a
more acute and faster adoption of public safety and transportation IoT investment, often without a
strategic framework, which IDC believes will lead to more project risk and wasted spending, such
as spending on duplicative systems or devices.
3) Information from social media, crowdsourcing and sharing economy companies will have
a greater impact on cities. Cities are grappling with how to ingest this data into systems and put it
to use. Not only is this data unstructured in the form of text, video, images and audio, but it also
comes from a variety of sources that exist independent of government. This presents a challenge
since data from these sources can be highly relevant and useful for improving government services.
The Waze traffic app is a great example of this — crowdsourced traffic information for commuters, if
integrated with systems in the transportation management center, would help operators update
digital signs more quickly, potentially adjust traffic signals and dispatch responders more quickly.
But getting this information into existing systems is not a simple task. Source: IDC 2016

215. A Silicon Valley startup claims to be the world’s first real-world application of autonomous driving. If the
claim is true, it beat Waymo, Tesla, Apple, the global car industry and all the other Silicon Valley startups.
The startup is called Udelv. This week it delivered groceries to two customers of a local store called
Draeger’s Market. The delivery van drove autonomously from the store to the customers’ houses,
although (as required by California law) a “safety driver” sat in the driver’s seat during the delivery.
I talked to Udelv CEO Daniel Laury, and he told me the delivery was “a huge milestone.” Draeger’s Market
deliveries go online to the public “next week,” according to Laury. The “milestone” Laury refers to is
commercialization. He’s saying that Udelv is the first company to actually use autonomous vehicles for a
service that’s paid for by a customer (in this case, the grocery store).
Udelv’s model shows how autonomous deliveries could work on a massive scale.
Its custom, proprietary electric vehicles are basically robotic lockers. Each van has 18 lockers that can
carry a collective weight of 700 pounds. When the van gets within a few minutes of a customer’s house,
that customer receives an alert via the company’s free app (currently available on iOS, with the Android
version coming soon, according to Laury). https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/udelv/id1341233287
Once the van arrives, customers use the app to unlock the compartment that holds their groceries. The
Udelv fleet is monitored by a control room of humans, who can take over in “unique situations” and drive
the vans by remote control if necessary. Udelv monetizes with a simple model. It charges companies to
make deliveries. Its goal is to cut the cost of deliveries in half, according to Laury. Udelv also plans to
expand beyond Silicon Valley and seek out autonomous-vehicle-friendly states to set up shop in.

• Advances in 5G, IoT, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, artificial
intelligence, distributed ledger technology, augmented reality & rich
mobile content delivery will drive edge computing deployment and
massive growth in data center computational and storage capabilities.
284. Internet of Things (IoT) Roadblocks
Those making their first foray into connected products can improve the success of their IoT programs by
understanding the following hazards.
• Too many inputs and too much data – Having too much data is nearly as bad as not having enough.
It’s easy to get excited about the promise of new technology. But overdoing it on early programs can
result in data explosion that overwhelms IT systems as well as stakeholders.
• Too many alarms – Nothing guarantees organizational disengagement from a supposedly smart
system than many “false positive” errors. False alarms are the spam of the IIoT world. They drown out
the actual errors and condition stakeholders to ignore system feedback.
• Missed critical alarms – If false positives are frustrating, a false negative can be catastrophically
damaging depending upon the system. No notification or late notification of a potential safety concern
can cause product, personnel, environmental or secondary damage, and can bring the program into
question.
• Unclear guidance – Feedback must be actionable, correct, and timely to the multiple stakeholders
involved. Feedback that is unclear or requires time-consuming offline analysis substantially reduces
system value.
• Unprepared Organization – connected products often require “connected organizations”.
Organizations may need to work together in new and different ways to realize revenue and margin
projections.
• Customer Backlash – Even in cases where the customer clearly has the most to gain through a newly
connected product, there is a risk of customer backlash. Consumer privacy and security risks are
substantial concerns carrying the specter of legal action. Additionally, there is a risk of Government
charges. This US Federal Trade Commission Report provides a good overview of possible risks as
well as the FTC’s recommendations.
• Perceived cost versus benefit – Ideally, the success of an IIoT-enabled product would be easily
quantified. Cost for a connected product can be high, once infrastructure costs are considered. Costs
are often easier to measure than success, particularly if success is tied to lagging and less correlated
metrics such as customer satisfaction. Subjective comparison of cost versus success puts a program
at risk. Without positive proof of value and clearly defined and accepted targets, a single large adverse
event can undermine the program. Source: LNS Research
