Paris La Défense, the major metropolitan business district in Paris, has called for applicants to run 5G neutral-host and use-case trials in 26 GHz mmWave spectrum at its site in the French capital. The two trial streams will be open, respectively, to public mobile...

UK telecoms integrator Colt Technology Services is leading a private 5G consortium including Accedian, ADVA, Airspan, and Athonet to test end-to-end private cellular in a real estate environment in France. The setup uses a disaggregated architecture, and has a bearing on related verticals, notably...

Throughout the ‘ask-the-experts’ session at URLLC 2018 in London earlier this month, serialised here across a number of posts, the conversation circled back time and again to 5G use cases. What are the sync requirements? How many slices? Where is the edge? Every time,...

For ultra low latency services, as enabled by incoming 5G technologies, multi-access edge computing (MEC) is a must. It provides the means to reduce latency, by degrees, as the compute power comes closer to the user in the radio access network. But the business case...

Network slicing, allowing for multiple network layers on top of a single shared infrastructure, is arguably the most significant capability of incoming 5G technologies. It brings brand new business opportunities to operators to serve enterprises and industries, each with conflicting requirements. One of the panel...

In the 5G firmament, the constellation of ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) shines brightest and newest. The other star clusters, outlining enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and massive machine-type communications (mMTC), do not cast the same light. They are familiar already. In essence, they will bring go-faster...

“5G will do the boring stuff first”. The low-latency pyrotechnics that will fire the industrial sector into a new gear for the first time will come much later. The version of 5G that radio engineers are preparing and network marketers are promoting is only...

The Asia Pacific Gateway has connectivity points with two major international submarine cable systems NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and international communications business owned by Japanese group NTT, has launched the Asia Pacific Gateway (APG), a high-bandwidth optical submarine cable network with...

From metro rings to long-haul and subsea transmission, the world's networks--wireless and wireline--depend on fiber optic cable. And, given the costly nature of fiber deployments, it's essential to maximize the efficiency and capacity of existing assets. To that end, dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) has...

On this week’s show we speak with Sonus on NFV and SDN trends we saw in 2015 and what to expect in 2016 For this week’s featured interview, we spoke with Myk Konrad, VP of go-to-market for Sonus, to get his insight into the major...

ADVA claims the deal will bolster NFV and cloud plans ADVA Optical Networking is set to boost its cloud and network functions virtualization efforts following its announced acquisition of Overture Networks. Financial terms of the deal were not released. According to ADVA, the deal combines two...
