The “G”ourney so far Requirements & Network Reality

Voice Calls Low Speed data

5G  

4G  

3G  

2G  Separate Voice & Data Networks

Web/Data/Emails TCP/IP

Video/Social Media SDN/NFV

New World of Apps (IOT, Cloud, AI, AR, VR)

Open Source Software

Network  Implica0ons  Requirements  Trend  

So … what is the next big thing?

DISTRIBUTED CLOUD

Driven by 5 Technology trends

5G   IOT   AI   VR   AR  

5G network, 5G radio , 5G applications

Open Source Networking Virtualization & Cloud

SDN/NFV with Automation

5G  Radio  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  

IOT – The number & data impact

Connec0ons  per  Minute  &  Zbytes  of  data  are  the  biggest  network  challenges  

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  

The VR/AR Market by 2020

Augmented/Virtual Reality to hit $150 billion disrupting mobile

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  Speed,  Low  Latency  &  Automated  SoMware  Defined  Network  

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.  –  eg  Mobile  Edge  Compu0ng/Mul0-­‐access  Edge  Compu0ng    

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

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
