5G: What operators must deliver to telecom consumers - Experts

ITREALMS:

The Senior Analyst at Analysys Mason, Mr Roberto Kompany, has given insight into what every Fifth-Generation (5G) network should deliver to every telecommunications consumer, reports ITRealms.

Fifth generation computing devices, based on artificial intelligence, are still in development, though there are some applications, such as voice recognition, that are being used today. The use of parallel processing and superconductors is helping to make artificial intelligence a reality.

Speaking recently on the Ericsson 5G and aligned support service, Kompany said that reduction in latency is expected to improve throughput.

In addition, ITRealms gathered he said, that operators wishing to offer services on 5G must ensure better security, reliability and regulatory compliance as these are all critical capabilities that operators must deliver for 5G use cases.

This is in addition to augmented reality assisted factory and autonomous driving vehicles.

“A distributed cloud capability that enables cloud computing, storage and networking to be placed flexibly in central, regional and edge locations and which can be managed seamlessly, end-to-end, is an important component of a 5G platform,” he said.

The Senior Analyst, Global Telecom Technology & Software at GlobalData, Ed Gubbins, said that the combination of Ericsson’s new products and 5G support for radios already deployed in the field will give operators access to a very broad and flexible 5G portfolio.

“They will be able to move quickly into enhanced mobile broadband and address the new opportunities with industrial applications,” Gubbins said.

ITRealms recalls that Ericsson added a new category of radio products for cities, which it calls Street Macro – a new layer between macro and micro. These radios will be on building facades with a smaller footprint but the necessary strength to secure network efficiency and coverage.

Gov Akeredolu to deliver 2nd SAFFGLIA lecture

ITRealms:

The Executive Governor, Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, has been confirmed to deliver the second annual leadership lecture of the Segun Adeleye Foundation For  Good Leadership In Africa (SAFFGLIA) reports ITRealms.

The lecture, ITRealms gathered is to hold at the Centre of Excellence Hall, University of Lagos on Thursday, December 7, 2017 by 10.30AM.

The theme of the lecture under the chairmanship of Professor Yemi  Ogunbiyi, Pro Chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife is, ‘The Youth and the Challenge of Bridging Credible Leadership Gap in Africa’.

Discussants at the lecture which will attract top diplomats and chief executives of public and private organisations include Mr Adetokunbo Mumuni, Executive Director, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP); Barrister Jide Ologun, former Chairman, Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), Lagos and Lead Convener of Great Leadership Attitude Development (GLAD); and Mr Omololu Ogunmade, a Public Speaker and author of ‘MindShift’, among others.

SAFFGLIA was founded by Mr Segun Adeleye, a journalist/media entrepreneur, author and operator of WorldStage Newsonline (www.worldstagegroup.com) to carry out activities and projects that will encourage/compel governments across Africa to embrace good leadership in order to uplift the standard of living of the people.

The foundation was officially inaugurated on March 10, 2016 with the inaugural lecture delivered by the Honourable Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

According to Adeleye, “Looking into history at the tragedy of Africa, it’s sensible to say that the exploits of leaders like Dr. Nelson Mandela and few others should be adequate to guide the current and future leaders on the path to progressive leadership, but reality still shows a trend of inadequate understanding of the essence of leadership in many African countries.

“Africa will be better off when people continue to speak out and remind those privileged to be at the helm of affairs that we cannot go far if our destiny is left to be decided by others.”
