5G infrastructure news stories

Apple has today announced the newest iPhone SE in its arsenal, mixing some of the best new iPhone technology with an iconic design.

Shipments of smartphones will grow 5.3% year over year in 2021, reaching 1.35 billion shipments, according to new forecasts from IDC.

Enterprise adopters of the Internet of Things are ready to take an easier path, shows a new Oracle survey. 

NTT Corporation and NEC have announced the development of Security Transparency Assurance Technology to reduce supply chain security risks. 

Many things that make 5G so appealing, like the decreased latency and increased bandwidth, are also threats to security.

While most of the public discussion of 5G is for primary connectivity, businesses are far more interested in its potential to act as a failover option.

The deal will see Spark deploy Nokia’s latest 5G RAN technology across part of the rollout while upgrading 4G at these sites using Nokia products.

While 5G communications delivers benefits for communication service providers (CSPs), the new technology also presents challenges in security and cost.

Despite huge potential, private networks are failing to reach scale, and the window of opportunity for telcos is closing.

"NTT is focused on driving the global acceleration of private 5G to meet the fast-evolving needs of enterprises across industries."

Investment in legacy wireless generations is rapidly deteriorating and spending on non-5G small cells is poised to decline as CSPs move to 5G small cells.

"Having access to the latest technology is great for consumers and even better for businesses.”

“This reflects our ambitions for the US as well as the other markets in which we operate globally," says BAI group CEO Igor Leprince.

VMware and Vapor IO collaborate with a Multi-Cloud Services Grid to simplify and lower costs when deploying distributed 5G and real-time applications.

It’s part of the telco’s network investment programme, through which ‘hundreds of millions of dollars’ are pumped into the country’s digital infrastructure.

It’s expected by 2023, 5G and Edge will provide $517 billion of revenue across manufacturing, heath care, transport, environmental monitoring and gaming alone.

The next decade is critical to curbing energy use and carbon emissions. With 5G is in its infancy, deploying the technology in a way that protects the environment and promotes long-term sustainability will be crucial.

The record, 5Gbps for a single smartphone, was announced today by Telstra in collaboration with Ericsson and Qualcomm.

This figure represents a growth from $945 million in 2019, according to IDC’s inaugural forecast for such statistics, with a five-year CAGR of 43.4%.

“Our customers have told us coverage is the most important thing when it comes to 5G so Telstra’s 5G roll out reaching more than half of the Australian population is a huge milestone.”

4G fixed wireless access (FWA) is now being delivered through 406 mobile operators in 164 countries around the world, but now is the time for 5G to mimic the same successes.

The growth will be driven by cloud infrastructure-related investments, such as virtual networks, orchestration, and cloud-native functions.

The solutions feature scalable performance, visibility, and security advancements that enable service providers to deliver new 5G-based services to consumers and enterprises.

Service providers must be prepared to offer unparalleled 5G experiences without compromising on speed, performance or security - all without breaking the bank.
