Mobile Internet Today
Tomorrow, Monday the 22nd of november, 2021, our Senior Product Manager Mika Sharp will open the International Symposium on 6G Networking at 14:30 WET. Mika will talk about Network as a service and Mobile Internet Today.
We leave you some clues about the event:
What are the key high level challenges?
- Power consumption:
- Roughly 20% of world electricity consumption is consumed by Internet.
- Security:
- Zero trust.
- No end-2-end security.
- Inbalanced growth:
- Operators’ business has not grown.
- OEM business has not grown.
- Internet based best effort services have grown.
- Pace of innovation execution:
- Latest disruption Iphone and LTE.
- SIM cards are still in use.
- Text messages are still used.
- QoS means five 9s networks.
How does the future looks like?
- Exponential traffic growth:
- More users always on-line with higher and higher resolutions.
- Everything will be connected, different kind of User Experiences needed.
- Web 3.0: Decentralized architecture:
- Semantic web, intelligent information, gryptoes, Metaverse.
- End of Gs:
- Higher frequencies and modulations won’t provide the answer anymore, what could come after THz?
- Current business models are not dynamic enough for modern societies:
- Frequency -> mobile operators -> web browsing service.
- WiFi -> add-on service -> web browsing service.
User expectation
- Public Network:
- Coverage.
- Speed test to test the network.
- Service as a commodity, price is the competitive element.
- Today the cost from 75% human generated traffic is embedded into something else – WiFi in Starbucks model.
- Non-public Network:
- Connectivity + Routing + Application are equally important.
- Ping and delay to test the network.
- Networks are purpose built to either reduce cost or enable new services.
- Different applications have different kind of Connectivity and Routing needs to work as designed.
How mobile NaaS can help?
- Higher spectrum utilization rate is the key forward:
- Automated frequency licensing and/or smart contracts.
- Containerized Capacity model.
- Exchange model to drive up spectrum utilization rate:
- Application needs differs by capacity, latency and jitter but also by IP routing, security, proximity and discovery.
- Pricing will guide usage.
How about challenges in mobile NaaS?
Access to frequency is crucial & governments need to be paid
+
CSP business model is fixed to volume driven eMBB market
=
Competition is limited, network and service is combined
->
Demand for mobile NaaS is still relatively weak
Conclusion
NaaS is the technical enabler for a trading and higher spectrum utilization rates.
Dynamic model to allocate end-to-end Network resources between parties:
- Organizations
- UEs
- Applications
Layers and building blocks:
- Media – Frequency/dark fiber
- Capacity – SDN
- Network – NFV6G vis
