#13March2024, SoftBank Corp. launched its "Private 5G (Dedicated Type)" service that enables enterprises, local governments and other organizations to build customized 5G networks on their premises with dedicated base stations. Those were the exact words from the softbank.jp website referencing the word #DedicatedType and #ClientSiteEquipment with #AllocatedSpectrum". What interest me was the very same website that almost a year ago dated #18April2023 where SoftBank launched #SharedType Private5G, this time referencing to the Nerwork Slicing Architecture. Which should telco offer to their customers? Dedicated (seperate network) or Shared (Network Slice). Thoughts? #ThinkHard #ThinkSmart #networkslicing #private5G #networks

🚀 The Telco Network Automation Journey - Part 1 The journey towards network automation in the telecom industry is a fascinating one. With recent advancements in AI, telcos around the globe are beginning to embrace automation. However, this is no simple task. Industry association TM Forum has identified several hurdles, including trust, skill gaps, and cost justification. Network operators have been striving to automate processes for decades, primarily since the advent of network virtualisation and software-defined networking (SDN). Yet, pinpointing the most effective strategy remains challenging. The TM Forum has developed a methodology to help telcos measure progress, assessing automation on a scale from 0 (manual operations) to 5 (fully autonomous networks). Currently, the average level of automation across 22 surveyed operators stands at 2.5. So, what does this mean for the future? Companies like Orange and Telecom Argentina are already at level 2 and are diligently working towards higher levels. Orange, for example, aims to integrate automation at scale despite challenges with data accessibility. Meanwhile, Telecom Argentina is focusing on specific use cases, aspiring to reach level 4 by 2027. The road ahead is long, but with continued innovation and collaboration, the potential for fully automated networks is within reach. #Telecoms #NetworkAutomation #AI

🌐 Transitioning from 5G to 6G promises significant advancements in network capabilities. Riccardo Guerzoni, director of the core network group at Docomo Euro-Labs, recently highlighted key considerations during the Telco Cloud and Edge Forum. Among these considerations are the integration of AI, interoperability, positioning, sensing, and sustainability into 6G networks. These enhancements will shape the future of connectivity and digital interaction. 📡 Technically, the shift involves moving towards cloud-native architectures, breaking down silos, and adopting unified platforms with accelerated capabilities. Additionally, the 3GPP-defined architecture for 6G emphasizes evolution, innovation, and simplification. AI plays a crucial role in the 6G landscape, optimizing performance and energy consumption. However, managing AI integration presents challenges for operators. As we journey towards 6G, collaboration and innovation will drive progress.  What are your thoughts on the evolution from 5G to 6G?
