The digital twin market is set for major growth as it brings time- and money-saving capabilities to industries like manufacturing.

Capgemini Engineering along with it’s 5G partner ecosystem, has developed a cognitive 5G Medium Access Controller (MAC), which is first in series of activities planned as part of Capgemini’s Project Marconi. Project Marconi includes a series of innovations targeted towards realizing cognitive capabilities as...

In this report we have carried out an in-depth study, based on our main CSPs clients' experience, in which we share with you a set of best practice lessons learned from these players, to realize the benefits from telco cloudification. Over a decade, network vendors...

R. Ezhirpavai, Capgemini Engineering's global chief architect for 5G, whose friends and colleagues call her Pavai, talks about Altran's rebranding, the early hype of 5G and why some Asian operators are reluctant to move to the 5G cloud.

According to GSMA, 4G accounted for 52% of mobile connections in 2019 and will increase to 56% by 2025; meanwhile, 5G will roughly take 20% share.Unlike the moderate pace in the access side, RAN (Radio Access Network) architecture migration is accelerating and driven by...

5G is a double-edged sword. On one side, it brings a new set of functionalities that will drive demand for more connectivity and even more critical and vital applications. This includes seamless mobility and connectivity with top Quality of Services (QoS)/Quality of Experience (QoE),...

Mobile traffic is expected to grow to 49 exabytes per month by 2021. The number of connected devices is projected to grow by 50% from 8 to 12 billion. Fifth Generation (5G) mobile networks are designed to meet various customer requirements and demands. Due to...

What would happen if global smartphone usage shot up by 70%, almost overnight? Many mobile network operators met this question head on earlier this year and had little choice but to respond, as COVID-19 gripped the world. Suddenly, meetings over coffee were replaced with...

Digital threads and digital twins are the foundation stones for digital transformation. In manufacturing, they enable ways to assess processes and products in a virtual environment – without the need for physical iterations, and with huge impacts in terms of cost, efficiency, productivity, and...

Digital twin and digital twin drive process improvement within and beyond a factory Digital transformation is a broad term that means many things to many people. But, at its core, digital transformation is a technology-enabled process that facilitates the capture and analysis of operational data,...

Companies in almost every industry are looking to digital twin technologies to drive meaningful business outcomes across the entire product development life cycle, from ideation and production to manufacturing, support and maintenance. Digital twins integrate geometry, real-time telemetry, engineering analysis, sensors, connectivity, artificial intelligence, machine learning and software...

Before the world was interrupted by COVID-19 and swathes of the global population went into lockdown, 5G was at the top of mobile operators’ agendas. Some businesses reported 5G delays while others maintained that their deployments were on schedule. That’s hardly surprising. The coronavirus...

The number of global unique mobile subscribers is expected to grow by 160 million from 5.7 billion subscribers in 2020 to 5.86 billion in 2025. 85% or more of mobile connections are expected to be 4G or 5G. This will require a massive increase in...

To manage such highly scalable and recursively sliced 5G networks and to maintain the customer QoE and SLAs in real time, the OSS systems managing the operations must be autonomous and self driven. It should be AI/ML based and must support cognitive algorithms for...

As governments lift shelter-in-place restrictions for their citizens and the world gets back to work, product & service companies in every industry and on every continent find themselves navigating unchartered waters. In this context, what should companies that innovate be doing to accelerate business...

Few CSPs have successfully implemented Core network automation with the help of Network Services Descriptor over Orchestrator. Radio cloud is still in its early implementation phase. Now it is time to discuss Service level orchestration across multiple domains. This paper is an initiative to...

Paris based system integrator Altran is working with London edge-cloud startup Ori Industries to promote federated multi-access edge computing (MEC) so developers can deploy Industry 4.0 solutions on private LTE and 5G networks, in any geography, and telecoms operators can serve industrial partners on...

Given the hype, you would be forgiven for thinking that the concept of network slicing is completely new. Truth be told, network slicing ‒ at least in the radio path ‒ has been used in 4G for years and was arguably present in earlier...

Immersive technologies are removing barriers between physical and virtual environments. Our Advanced Manufacturing World Class Center helps clients to achieve superior performance by applying innovative technologies to manufacturing operations. Explore how immersive technologies remove frontiers between real and virtual. Factories of the future will be fully...

Like it, love it or hate it? Enterprises are unsure about what to make of 5G. A study conducted by Barclays found that at best only 9% were allocating resources for 5G and at worst, only 28% know what 5G is. In other words,...

Telecoms vendor Nokia and engineering firm Altran have announced a predictive maintenance solution to streamline the upkeep of trains from all manufacturers. Nokia said it will make trains up to 30 per cent more reliable in terms of their availability, and 20 per cent more...
