We analyze 5G-specific data from 451 Research's consumer-oriented Voice of the Connected User Landscape survey, with a specific eye toward 5G awareness, willingness to pay, capabilities motivation and impact on overall quality of life.
The 5G era of networking is upon us, and the global telecom operators have several pressing challenges ahead to ensure 5G meets customer expectations and their own. Microsoft is attacking the opportunity, and recently provided clarity on its strategy and approach to engaging the telecom ecosystem after the acquisitions of MetaSwitch and Affirmed Networks.
With 5G underway, now comes the difficult part of monetizing 5G investment and ensuring high-speed, ultra-low-latency performance for users. A new approach combines Nokia's AVA AI as a service with Gigamon's network traffic visibility & analytics to deliver quality of experience outcomes for emerging 5G services.
Robin.io is seeking to bring its container orchestration and automation platform into the heart of telcos as they navigate the transition to cloud-native and 5G. The company's customer win with Rakuten Mobile serves as validation that could help it gain industrywide traction.
The vendor has expanded its Mobility Suite by partnering with auto dealer service management platform provider Dealer-FX to build a bridge between drivers and dealers as well as enhance OEM customer experience. The announcement potentially portends broader opportunities for Aeris within the automotive sector.
The company's annual analyst event laid out strategic vision and execution progress across products, business units and go-to-market plans. The idea is to focus on offerings that bring networks into the cloud era to fully capture transformational opportunities in all its target segments.
