A long road to countering Huawei presence in 5G infrastructure.

The future of 5G and edge computing is here :)

Germany says "Auf Wiedersehen" to Huawei and ZTE Corporation in 5G networks. Germany just made a big call about its 5G future! After years of back-and-forth, they finally agreed on a timeline to remove technology from Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE. Here's the breakdown: Core Network Cut-off: By the end of 2026, these Chinese companies gotta be out of the core network (the brains of the operation!). RAN Reprieve (sort of): The radio access network (towers, antennas, etc.) has a bit more time until 2029, but only for the "critical" management functions. Sounds like some fancy software replacements are needed. This is a big headache for the phone companies (Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, etc.). They've been using this Chinese tech for years and ripping it all out is expensive and time-consuming. The good news is they have a few years to figure it out. The government even set up a special forum to help them find solutions. Sounds like a collaborative effort! I'm curious to see how this plays out. Security is important, but ripping out perfectly good equipment seems wasteful. Maybe they can find a middle ground that keeps everyone happy. One thing's for sure, the future of German 5G is about to get interesting! #Germany #5G #Security #TechDilemma

WiMax Market Latest Report 2024-2030 For Additional Information, Get a Sample Copy>>> https://lnkd.in/dxWcFeC3 The WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) market refers to the global industry centered on the development, deployment, and commercialization of WiMAX technology for wireless broadband communications. WiMAX is a telecommunications technology based on the IEEE 802.16 standards, designed to provide high-speed internet access over long distances, both in fixed and mobile forms. It was seen as a competitor to other wireless technologies like Wi-Fi and LTE. #KeyPlayers::: Alvarion Technologies (Israel), Airspan Networks (United States), Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (China), ZTE Corporation (China), Cisco Inc. (United States), Intel Corporation (United States), Nokia (Finland), Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

This new release of Ericsson Mobility Report provides insights into the transition of communications service providers towards building high-performing, open, and programmable 5G networks, presenting new opportunities for service innovation and performance-based business models. https://lnkd.in/dDBGUNY4

The world's first commercial 5.5G network was launched. Speed relative to 5G will increase tenfold While 5G networks are still being rolled out around the world, telecom companies and tech giants are already looking ahead to 6G. But first there is an important transition stage called 5.5G or 5G-Advanced. Communication throughput can increase to 10 GB/s. China's largest telecommunications company has announced the official launch of the new 5G-Advanced mobile communications protocol.

The US government makes a $42 million bet on open cell networks The US government has committed $42 million to further the development of the 5G Open RAN (O-RAN) standard that would allow wireless providers to mix and match cellular hardware and software, opening up a bigger market for third-party equipment that’s cheaper and interoperable. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) grant would establish a Dallas O-RAN testing center to prove the standard’s viability as a way to head off Huawei’s steady cruise toward a global cellular network hardware monopoly. Verizon global network and technology president Joe Russo promoted the funding as a way to achieve “faster innovation in an open environment.” To achieve the standard’s goals, AT&T vice president of RAN technology R...

✍ Although 5G population coverage is growing, 5G mid-band is only deployed in around 25% of all sites globally. The 5G mid-band spectrum provides a sweet spot between both coverage and capacity, while improving user experience. As 5G matures, the focus for many service providers is expected to shift toward developing differentiated connectivity offerings.   The report takes a closer look at a leading service provider’s journey toward realizing a programmable network, and a new era of performance-based business models built upon differentiated connectivity and an open network infrastructure.

Under the agreement, components manufactured by Huawei, China’s leading 5G equipment maker, are to be banned from sensitive core network infrastructure by the end of 2026, rather than by the end of 2025 as previously envisaged, as reported by POLITICO. Huawei components would have to be removed from radio access networks such as antenna masts by the end of 2029 instead of the end of 2026. This is a satisfactory outcome for German operators, who were planning to replace them by then anyway, limiting extra costs. https://lnkd.in/dsFZ_ZgB

📶 A team of Chinese telecommunications engineers has achieved a major milestone in 6G technology by creating the first-ever field test network for this advanced wireless communication system. The trial network has shown that semantic communication can achieve the transmission speeds of 6G using current 4G infrastructure. 📶 The network has made an impressive tenfold advancement in crucial communication metrics such as capacity, coverage, and efficiency. Additionally, it acts as a facilitator for research institutions to carry out theoretical research and initial validation of pivotal 6G technologies, thus reducing the barriers to entry for 6G research and promoting innovation. 📶 China aims to launch 6G, the successor to 5G, for commercial use by 2030, with the standards for 6G expected to be established by 2025.
