Exciting times! O-RAN has the potential to change the landscape of Mobile Networks, in both public and private environments, with 4 key benefits: 1 - Diversification of the Supplier Ecosystem - O-RAN will enable Network Operators to avoid vendor lock-in by replacing vendor-proprietary interfaces with a fully disaggregated RAN based on open standards. 2 - Drive new Innovation models -  O-RAN is essentially dissection of the RAN into seperate component, thus allowing each piece to be separately reconfigured. Couple that with O-RAN standards being freely accessible to all third-party software developers, there are no limitations to the innovations on the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) by building xApps and rApps. 3 - Dramatically Reduce the Total Cost of Ownership - Network evolution on an open platform is done through continuous integration delivery manner rather than through traditional investment cycles. This new approach would allow for greenfield open RAN networks and acceleration of site commissioning from days to hours.. 4- Create new opportunities in Private Networks and Neutral Hosting. O-RAN will allow for customized solutions That will be able to deliver unique features and functions that align specifically to an enterprises use case and or deployment environment, ie: additional security or system integration with a management layer. Disruptive Technology! Looks good on you Parallel!

#TechNews US government announces $285 million for digital twins funding The funding is part of the $280 billion CHIPS and Science Act, which was passed in 2022 The U.S. Biden-Harris administration is seeking proposals from eligible applicants for the development, validation and use of digital twins for semiconductor manufacturing, advanced packaging, assembly and test processes. In a statement, the administration said successful applicants will participate in the establishment and operation of a CHIPS Manufacturing USA institute, and that it anticipates up to approximately $285 million in funding. Digital twins are a digital representation of a real-world physical product, system or process, and as the administration described in its statement, they can exist in the cloud, which it said “enables collaborative design and process development” and in doing so, creates new opportunities, speeds up innovation and reduces the cost of research and development. #informationtechnology #voip #encryption #telecoms #virtualization #tech #databreach #broadband #semiconductor #internetofthings #telecommunication #wireless #mobile #telecom #technology #telecommunications #business #internet #network #telecoms #networking #cabling #AI #data #wireless #telecomunicaciones #voip #structuredcabling #yidawards #communication #tech #wifi #fiberoptic #telecomunica #it #lowlatency #telco #cable #ethernet #Verveba #5G #Google #Cloud #cybersecurity #att

Spark are committing $40-$60 million to the development of 5G standalone network over the next three years, which will create a step change enabling business innovation in Aotearoa. 5G standalone will unlock capabilities like ‘network slicing’. A piece of network could be ‘sliced’ to serve a mission critical service such as driverless cars for example – which require the network to respond quickly and with ultra-reliability in real time 5G standalone also allows us to move some elements of the core out to the edge of the network. This allows the network to respond quickly, which will support new cases that require real-time performance to work, for example allowing video analytics to identify health and safety hazards in real-time. Deploying a 5G standalone core will be the turning point for unlocking the transformative capabilities the technology can bring. https://lnkd.in/gpgcQQwK

ICT sector advised to prepare for industrial 5G marathon: LIVE FROM HANNOVER MESSE, GERMANY: Industrial 5G advocate Andreas Mueller warned ICT players must adapt to dealing with longer timelines and more conservative customers than they may be used to when deploying the technology for industrial use cases, though believes it will ultimately prove successful. The general chair of the 5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation (5G-ACIA) and 6G project director at Robert Bosch expects the technology to make an impact in industry but acknowledged it was taking longer than initially anticipated. Speaking in the Industrial 5G: State of the Union session, Mueller said this pace was not unusual for a new technology in the industrial space given the segment’s lengthy lifecycles and generally conservative outlook. Mueller pointed to several other technologies entering the segment which had long development cycles and the fact Industry 4.0 had being a topic at Hannover Messe since 2011, but “we are still working on it to make the full vision a reality”. “Industrial 5G is in good company…it’s really not a sprint, it’s a marathon”. He added manufacturing “is really a very conservative industry. Especially, I think, the players from the ICT industry have to learn this. It’s not like [a] smartphone that you buy a new robot every two years. You have longer lifecycles and this is one of the reasons it takes longer for proper adoption”.   He described the mobile network technology as a “building block” in fostering digital transformation, alongside the complementary ones of edge computing, digital twins, AI and machine learning. All of these innovations, he noted, had to “come together to make this a big success”. There’s a lot of money going into private networks [and] industrial 5G, and it’s always a good idea to see where the money is going if you want to anticipate the future Andreas Mueller – general chair 5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation Trends Looking at positive movements within industry, he pointed to wider adoption of private networks, development of features within chipsets, ethernet PDU transmissions and red-cap 5G “adding value” to the ecosystem. Mueller also cited “productive deployments” from big players in the automotive, chemical and aircraft industries, with “smaller ones” expected to follow. “There’s a lot of money going into private networks [and] industrial 5G, and it’s always a good idea to see where the money is going if you want to anticipate the future. That’s why industrial 5G is coming, a bit later than expected but it is still coming.” The post ICT sector advised to prepare for industrial 5G marathon appeared first on Mobile World Live. http://dlvr.it/T5s0jP
