The evolution of mobile networks from 4G to 5G to 5G SA (Stand Alone) has created significant cost pressures on Communication Service Providers (CSPs). As such, they seek new ways to get return on their investment and better monetize their assets. Additionally, 5G is revolutionizing the telecom industry through innovative use cases ranging from cloud gaming for consumers, to machine remote control for enterprises. To unlock the commercial value of these use cases, they need to be offered through new value driven business models beyond traditional session and volume-based product.
CSPs and enterprise companies can partner to offer new services to third parties. In B2B2X scenario, the third party can be a consumer or another business. Every party in a B2B2X scenario wants the flexibility to design price models that make sense to them – how you expose the relevant charging metrics to each party involved, and how the CSP enables them to incorporate this into a billing landscape of their choice. Monetizing 5G-based services in a B2B2X model will require the agility to rapidly onboard new partners and provide them with the self-service and metrics necessary to create their own pricing models based on usage, relevant to their needs.

Ready to launch a 5G gaming service? Cloud gaming is changing the content distribution dynamics in the gaming industry. And 5G helps to enable ways for gamers to play anywhere, without continuously purchasing hardware upgrades or expensive games.
Cloud gaming is a new way of consuming video games that’s set to grow significantly in the next five years. The ultimate goal is to enable people to play any game on any device as long as they have a good internet connection. This is possible because the games (hardware and software) are hosted in remote data centers, from where the game is streamed to the player’s device. Cloud gaming can therefore significantly reduce the cost of retail, packaging, delivery of hardware and improve ease of access for gamers. The development of new consoles is now slowing down or ending. This in turn puts high requirements on the connectivity network, especially in the case of mobile cloud gaming if user experience should be always good and when the evolution towards augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) takes off with even higher requirements.

Network slicing is likely a key component allowing MNOs to consistently meet the diverse requirements of automotive OEMs that span safety, convenience & efficiency use cases. The goal of network slicing is to allow MNOs to operate multiple logical networks, or slices, using their common infrastructure to serve multiple customers while simultaneously isolating the network slices to ensure specific SLAs.
Edge computing is a significant tool that can reduce latency for C-V2X use cases requiring computation by relocating those computations closer to the end user rather than existing in a distant public cloud data center.
Offering different slices of the mobile network based on specific service requirements of the end customer also gives MNOs the power to differentiate pricing and better monetize the full extent of their network capabilities.

Network slicing still a critical gateway to 5G. Despite enterprise wariness about privacy and security, network slicing will remain an attractive option for SMBs and enterprises. By 2025, it is expected providers will offer network slicing via public networks as a cost-effective 5G option for SMBs because companies pay only for what they use.
Additionally, many IT teams might not have the resources or expertise to build and support the infrastructure required for a private 5G network, which includes 5G New Radio, a 5G core and transport using fiber or microwave. By using a provider’s public network, customers can consume 5G services backed by a service-level agreement, while avoiding the hassle of procuring spectrum and maintaining the network.
It is indicated that network slicing via a public network is better suited for wide area networking — compared to a more contained LAN environment — making network slicing a “critical gateway” to 5G for smaller companies over the next few years.

Holographic communication refers to real-time capturing, encoding, transporting and rendering of 3D representations, anchored in space, of remote persons shown as stereoscopic images or as 3D video in extended reality (XR) headsets that deliver a visual effect similar to a hologram.
Compared with flat screen video, holographic communication can convey the subtleties of non-verbal communication and provide a sense of presence and immediacy that enhances the quality of human interaction. More than 50 percent of smartphone users expect this technology to be available to them within a few years. Consumers are not the only ones longing for more authentic forms of digital communication. A recent study showed that the main barrier to remote working was the need for social interaction. With the time spent working outside the office expected to increase in the coming decade, many office workers will require more immersive forms of digital interaction.
Starting with AR glasses & holographic calls with spatial audio, office workers around the world expect to benefit from the emergence of haptic technology, which adds tactile sensing of digital objects. More say they would like a digital workstation with multisensory presence at the office when working remotely.
Transferring huge amounts of data (>25TB) is difficult and complicated. Using the Internet to move data is slow and very expensive. Since most companies do not transfer massive amounts of data frequently, buying their own hardware is not cost effective. Big cloud providers subsidize equipment rental for data transfer, but this is for one purpose – transferring data into their cloud environment where they charge their customers a hefty price for ongoing storage. AcroTransfer enables you to move data between any cloud and any data center, when you need to, paying only for what you need.

There are three big names in Australia.
Optus turned on their Standalone 5G network for limited trial in late 2021. You can order 5G Home Broadband with a 50 Mbps Satisfaction Guarantee. One of the plans maxes out at 100 Mbps, but the other one doesn’t, and is said to offer average download speeds of over 200 Mbps.
Telstra, Of the thousands of sites now in operation, over 3,000 suburbs and over 200 cities and towns have coverage, which amounts to over 75% of the population, including Queensland, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Melbourne, Tasmania, Sydney, Brisbane, Hobart, Launceston, and Toowoomba. The goal is to reach 95% of the population by mid-2025.
Telstra launched a 5G home service in late 2020. In early 2021, they doubled the included monthly data limit from 500 GB to 1 TB. In November 2021, 5G Home & Business Internet launched, with download speeds of up to 600 Mbps.
Edge devices can contribute to a cloud, if the storage and computing capabilities provided by those devices at the endpoints of a network are abstracted, pooled, and shared across a network—essentially becoming part of a larger cloud infrastructure.
Clouds are places where data can be stored or applications can run. They are software-defined environments created by datacenters or server farms.
Edges are also places where data is collected. They are physical environments made up of hardware outside a datacenter.
An edge (location) is not the same thing as edge computing (action). Collecting data at the edge of a network and transferring it to a cloud with minimal (if any) modification is not edge computing—it’s just networking.
But, if that data is collected and processed at the edge, then it’s edge computing.
Fujitsu, Japan’s first commercial Private 5G radio station license from the Kanto Bureau of Telecommunications and will begin operating a Private 5G network at its Shin-Kawasaki Technology Square office.
Fujitsu will strengthen crime prevention measures in the building by leveraging its Private 5G technology for data transmission of high-definition images collected by multi-point cameras, creating an AI-powered security system that quickly detects suspicious behavior through motion analysis. Through its newly-established private 5G co-creation space “FUJITSU Collaboration Lab”, Fujitsu will also offer customers and partners the chance to workshop various use cases for private 5G to deliver business innovation and help resolve regional issues. Fujitsu experts will also provide support with on-site implementation for customers at the location.

This new mobile mode of operation has the ability to offer the necessary technology for mobile network operators (MNOs) to operate the unlicensed spectrum into 5G networks and make some of it available for corporate networking. New standardization will enable the enterprise networks to gradually adopt these new mobile networks to their connectivity framework, in order to leverage the benefits of new modern applications and alignment to their connectivity, scale and quality of service requirements.
5G features a separation of data/user and control planes that is an architectural advantage, particularly helpful for large IoT deployments, dynamic scalability and services and higher data rates with greater bandwidth efficiencies. It offers more distributed processing for greater scale and less susceptibility to a single point of failure. It also represents a shift from best-effort networks to ones that can provide better, more differentiated levels of services and prioritization. This separation requires a new approach for network visibility to understand who is doing what. This is an issue for security as well as networking performance.
Network slicing is an important technological development that CSPs look to capitalize on. It provides a way to offer differentiated services with guaranteed quality of service across common network infrastructure. This is much more efficient than previous techniques to “nail up” or dedicate infrastructure resources to support differentiated service requirements.
Various industry organizations have contributed toward standards that ensure that CSPs can avoid vendor and technology lock-in as they architect their approach to network slicing.
CSPs will not employ network slicing for all services they offer. But for those services that they do, CSPs will need to automate the process to design, deploy and assure network slices to be cost effective and ensure they meet contracted SLAs. The complexity and dynamic nature of network slice-based services is far too complex to leave to manual operations.
CSPs need to be able to abstract the network complexity, and expose the network slices to the market, in order to let business customers flexibly and easily subscribe to a slice, configure the SLAs based on the needs of their customers in support of new business models (B2B2x).
The right 5G monetization systems can be a superpower that allows communication service providers (CSPs) to deliver the promise of 5G from day one. Through performance enhancements such as faster network speeds and bandwidth, ultra low latency, guaranteed quality of service, network reliability and a more flexible service offering, 5G creates new monetization pathways for CSPs into both traditional and new markets – including a renewed focus on enterprise and industry. To address 5G use cases and deliver the full potential of 5G, CSPs must evolve their business support systems (BSS) together with their 5G implementation, or else risk falling behind in the 5G quest for profitable 5G services. Watch the video and get ready to address new 5G use cases.

University of Surrey have developed in-house 5G Core (5GC) network functions and conducted several successful demonstrations of slicing using early 5G radio systems. The 5GIC 5GC is currently being updated in accordance with ratified Release 16 standards. University of Surrey embrace the 3GPP-defined Service Based Architecture (SBA) and have demonstrated slicing over an CNF-based SBA infrastructure using MANO-based Operations and Administration (OAM). The 5GIC testbed supports different slices by service type and market.
Manufacturers are relying on 5G networks & edge computing to deploy autonomous robots, enable predictive maintenance & counter labor shortages. There are two key emerging technologies that will accelerate efforts to digitize factories: 5G, a wireless standard that’s fast and can handle lots of data, and edge computing, which refers to distributed systems for processing data close to the sensors generating it. Digitized smart factories have greater flexibility and visibility, both increasingly important to buyers. With more tracking & oversight demanded of modern factories, companies have started using 5G and edge computing to enable applications like predictive maintenance.
AI will become one of the most important enabling technologies for 5G automation. How to use the powerful analysis, judgment, and prediction capabilities provided by the AI algorithms to enable 5G equipment, networks and service systems, and combine them with the planning, construction, maintenance, operation, and optimization of carriers’ networks become an important topic in the ICT industry.
This aims at presenting the most relevant use cases, prominent research outcomes, latest standard developments and related standardization gaps, examples of AI strategy interpretation, AI solutions – including communication intelligent platform, AI model service, and deployment solution – and typical application scenarios. As a part of this framework, this article introduces the most important aspects of AI security, in terms of protecting the integrity and confidentiality of AI models and data, and thus preventing attackers from changing the inference results or stealing data – Professor Dr. David Soldani.
UC Berkeley Students use 5G drones to prevent wildfires. There is a link between wildfires and power lines that have emerged in the past several years. In 2017, power lines owned by Pacific Gas & Electric were blamed for a dozen Northern California wildfires and 18 related deaths. A report shows that these fires occurred because of poor vegetation management, resulting trees and braches coming into contact with power lines. A group of six UC Berkeley students has developed a solution called Drone 200 that will combat poor vegetation management and vastly reduce infrastructure-related fires by using 5G enabled drones. Through an automated flight path and remote control via a low latency 5G connection, these drones will collect video imaginary of vegetation near power lines and use a computer vision algorithm to detect any potential fire hazards.
Open Source 5G Core Development- 5G Core is conceived as a set of disaggregated, cloud-native applications that communicate internally and externally over a set of well-defined standard interfaces. This means the associated life cycle events will follow standard continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) and GitOps patterns. This requires the platform to support functionality like automated deployment, intelligent workload placement, dynamic scaling, seamless upgrades and self healing.
Each 5GC component is implemented as a container-based application and is referred to as cloud-native network function (CNF). This requires the container platform to support functionalities and operational features like automated deployment, intelligent workload placement, dynamic scaling, hitless upgrades, and self healing. This presentation covers how to architect an open 5G Core solution with cloud-native technologies, focusing on an on-premise, stand-alone deployment approach.
Virtual Reality (VR) has relevance in education and training, and will have a big role in providing quality education and improving understanding-based learning among students. AR can enable new ways of learning and team working in education through services such as mobile cloud classroom and Virtual Presence. Enhancing the learning experience is not the only possible use for AR. It can also help teachers to get necessary information about each student and be aware of their particular needs and capabilities. For more classical subjects, such as music, we saw a great example from songwriter and musician Jamie Cullum last summer. He led the world’s first 5G music lesson from a piano in the Roman Amphitheatre in London.
5G technology can also help workers learn new skills for life. Training on the job in real-time is made possible over a 5G connection, connecting staff remotely with experts not stationed in the field. Not only does this enhance team members’ ability to learn, but it also drives efficiency and reduces travel costs. The outbreak of COVID-19 has made this even more relevant, allowing remote experts to educate from a distance where travelling to site just isn’t possible.
