The Unseen Dimensions of Fixed Wireless Access Traffic Surge I’ve been diving into the latest Ericsson Mobility Report, and there’s a standout trend that strike me: the incredible growth of Fixed Wireless Access traffic. By 2029, FWA traffic is expected to reach around 150 exabytes per month. That's not just a big number; it's huge! surpassing the combined traffic of 2G, 3G, and 4G, and accounting for a substantial slice of the 5G pie. This isn't just growth; it's a paradigm shift. The evolution of FWA is fascinating because it reshapes how we think about network deployment and management. While FWA positions itself as a robust competitor in the home broadband market, it introduces complex challenges for network management. The data consumption of FWA-enabled devices is significantly higher, often three to four times that of a typical smartphone. This puts interesting questions about network load and capacity, particularly as we push the limits of 5G infrastructure. Are our current strategies and technologies equipped to handle this surge? This isn’t just about scaling up; it’s about smart scaling. As FWA becomes a dominant force, Telco´s network planning, deployment, and optimization strategies need to be reevaluated and perhaps, reengineered. https://lnkd.in/gSa5XPPR

Joint network by Telia & Telenor (Suomen Yhteisverkko Oy) closed down 3G900 recently and activated LTE900. The network has now four sub-1 GHz technologies deployed: LTE800 + LTE700 + LTE900 + 5G700. Cool! Example test results below in weak signal far away from the base station. A few notes from my testing: 1) LTE800 + 5G700 gives great performance 2) most sub-1 GHz carrier aggregation combos are not supported by devices 3) LTE700 uplink suffers from cross-border TV interference. The country border is 60 km away. 4) LTE800 loading is higher than other bands.

Nokia has launched several of its new innovations in Midsummer Launch in Finland couple of weeks ago. We have announced two new two compact, next-generation outdoor #Airscale baseband products with 4G-5G and 2G-3G-4G-5G options. These baseband products will support twice as much cell capacity and enhance uplink throughput by up to 30 percent while reducing power consumption by up to 40 percent compared to existing basebands we have. On #Airscale radio portfolio, we have added a new high-performance #Habrok 32 Massive MIMO radio that supports an instantaneous bandwidth of 200MHz. This will enable operators to choose the ideal Massive MIMO solution that best fits their available spectrum assets and deployment needs. We have also launched #Kolibri and all-in-One 5G small cell for indoor and outdoor use cases. #Kolibri products don’t need a separate baseband unit, which enables simplified installations and deployment flexibility. For more details, you may watch the recorded event from the link below:

About that exponential mobile data growth... https://lnkd.in/dHQ7dKgH [ht Iain Morris] As I understand it, some of the recent decrease in Elisa's mobile data traffic is attributable to new compression algorithms, but a few more quarters should indicate whether that was a transitory impact or just a contributor to a broader slowing / decline in data volumes.

Great to see SaaS getting Telecom TV exposure. Telco services in a subscription model is the way to go! Nokia in a great place, especially on the Core SaaS products, where 5G SA network slices can be delivered in a SaaS model. We can support use cases from FWA, Automotive connectivity, media and TV, plus many more! It comes with 'add ons' like Network Exposure (for example, Device Status; Location; Quality on Demand), or roaming enablement. Nokia's SaaS Core for Innovation is a great way to try out new product PoC's where 5G SA core is needed. Perfect for new B2B opportunities. Check it out here --> https://lnkd.in/ebggBvdV

https://lnkd.in/efWpqBMs RAN slicing is one of the important new features of 5G networks; it makes differentiated services possible, enabling new features for customers and network monetization opportunities for operators. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifications define the slice mechanism, but they don’t say anything about how to implement the slices. Also, we haven’t seen many production-level, real-world implementations of RAN slicing, perhaps because 5G business roll-out is complex. We have done research and produced new results related to RAN slicing and I’d like to enumerate a few that will make it easier for operators to use it with Microsoft Azure.

In Ericsson's latest results on TelecomTV. Vonage suffered a 7% year-on-year decline in revenues to SEK3.8bn ($361m). https://lnkd.in/eViatYkS Back in Q1 2022 Vonage’s total revenue was $359M, almost the same, which split into: * Consumer – $62M. Shrinking as they transition to a pure business focus. * VoIP/UC/CC – $123M * API (SMS, voice, video) – $162M of which the bulk (90%) is likely SMS * Product revenues as businesses still need phones – $12M Reviewed here: https://lnkd.in/eHpZzQp8 In 2020/2021/2022 programmable communications was growing at 30+%. Growth has slowed to 5% for the likes of Twilio. And Vonage is back to Q1 2022 revenue numbers! The hope is network APIs will change the situation for Ericsson/Vonage. I've explained why that is a false hope. There will be NaaS (Network as a Service) revenues, https://lnkd.in/eHpZzQp8, where Network APIs augment existing NaaS solutions. I had a fun conversation with an 'app' developer yesterday that had been interviewed by a vendor pushing P5G and Network APIs to telcos. They summarized the interview as, 'they didn't like what I had to say.' Ericsson, all you had to do was follow my blog.

🌐 Wireless internet has become an indispensable part of our daily lives, supporting a wide range of activities from professional communications to streaming entertainment. However, the growing demand for wireless connectivity has led to increased power consumption and carbon emissions. Fortunately, researchers at Central University (CU), IIDM, and CU J&K in India have been working on energy-efficient techniques to address this challenge. Their recent paper published in IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking introduces a hybrid solution that combines visible light communication (VLC) with RF communication, promising reliable indoor communication with lower energy consumption. The team's proposed wireless communication system comprises a transmitter and a receiver module, connected through a VLC channel. By leveraging visible light, transmitted through light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or other artificial light sources, they achieve efficient data transmission with reduced power consumption. Initial evaluations using various simulation platforms have demonstrated stable communication and significant energy savings. The team's approach also holds the potential to enhance mobile device battery life, adding approximately 7 hours of usage time. This research contributes to ongoing efforts to reduce power consumption and electromagnetic radiation, while improving the energy efficiency of wireless communications. The team's findings highlight the promise of their hybrid approach and open the door for further advancements and real-world testing. What are your thoughts on the convergence of visible light communication and RF communication for wireless networks? How do you see this technology shaping the future of indoor wireless communication? #WirelessCommunication #Innovation #EnergyEfficiency #Research #Technology
