Caroline Chappell, expert in cloud native technologies, explains that if operators are serious about network convergence (where siloed network domains are brought together into a single network entity to support new enterprise services such as network slicing and network-as-a-service), then they must acquire a cloud-native programmable network platform as a strategic priority for 2024.

In this podcast, Caroline Chappell, expert in cloud-native technologies, discusses a key test for AT&T’s open network credentials. The question is whether AT&T will pair its cloud platform with RAN functions from Ericsson or opt for a third-party telecoms cloud platform. This decision will shape the future capability to run RAN functions from various vendors in the future.

In the last decade, SpaceX has achieved a near-monopoly on the satellite launch market, due to aggressive moves, improved reliability and delayed competition. At the same time, the company has manufactured more satellites than any other operator for its Starlink constellation and is now planning to sell satellites via its Starshield programme. Given the challenges involved in satellite manufacturing and launch, and SpaceX’s dominance in the market, established and emerging players have shown considerable concern in competing in these markets.

In this podcast, Christopher Baugh and Dallas Kasaboski, experts in satellite infrastructure, discuss the market landscape. They provide insights on how operators and vendors can learn from SpaceX’s trajectory in order to successfully compete in these dynamic growth markets.

Few commercial propositions for public 5G enterprise services are currently available, but most operators have the capabilities to launch at least a few. Large operators that want to maximise their returns from 5G enterprise services should be building 5G capabilities into their existing end-to-end propositions. For smaller operators, supporting partner services with high-value connectivity may be more appropriate, but even these operators should consider launching a few 5G propositions of their own. In this podcast, Catherine Hammond and Tom Rebbeck, experts in enterprise services, discuss the different options for operators to monetise public 5G enterprise services and how they can achieve their goals more quickly.
