A key executive from Intel and Fujitsu Networks said: mobile world live Private networks are a potentially lucrative market for open and fragmented infrastructure, and the timing of the equipment sector initiatives aligns well with the latest use cases for 5G technology.
In separate interviews ahead of the Telecom Infra Project (TIP)’s second FYUZ event, Caroline Chan, vice president of network architecture at Intel, and head of wireless business unit and chief wireless solutions architect at Fujitsu Network Communications Mr. Olufemi Adeyemi, CEO, said: We are already seeing interest in private networks from vertical industries.
Chan cited major U.S. retailers and oil companies as examples, as companies look to overhaul their back-office systems, improve product tracking and strengthen their entire supply chains.
Zhang believes that technology departments should “really open up their networks across the board,” as black box solutions are no longer sufficient to provide the flexibility needed to overhaul a company’s information and operational technology. I think we need to start breaking things down.
An open, disaggregated approach to infrastructure provides greater flexibility to meet the private 5G needs of a wide range of businesses, Chan said.
But she stressed that carriers remain important, with about half of her division’s revenue coming from the network side, and is keen to have “healthy carriers that continue to invest.” I explained that there is.
AI boost
The executive acknowledged that investments in new generation connectivity technologies will have a significant impact on carriers, many of which have yet to realize the ARPU improvements promised with 5G.
AI will be a boon in this regard, Chan explained, citing moves around automation and using machine learning to reduce power consumption.
Chan argued that AI has the potential to provide revenue opportunities by connecting vertical industries, as well as reduce the total cost of ownership for carriers.
Adeyemi explained that Fujitsu is adopting a similar business model to Wi-Fi in promoting private mobile networks, selling businesses on its ability to provide all the necessary elements.
He said new spectrum allocations will allow the sector to “thrive” and that “private networks are popping up left and right.”
Like Chan, he sees opportunities beyond campus connectivity, explaining that private 5G will help “robotic innovation, small applications with low latency,” along with security “and manufacturing flows as well.” .
Connected
He said openness fosters connections between software and hardware, allowing companies “committed to software innovation” to write code “that other companies can use,” creating a truly global He explained that it enables the market.
While Adeyemi agreed with Chan about the opportunities for carriers, he noted that increasing spectrum availability is allowing companies to deploy their own private networks if needed. did.
As a result, Fujitsu sees opportunities “not just on the operator side,” but that openness will bring “a lot of activity” to the private sector as well.
