5G Deployment
Why in News?
- Google and Intel have teamed to develop cloud-based solutions for communication service providers to accelerate their deployment of 5G and network edge solutions.
About the initiative
- Google said that partnering across the telecommunications stack will help it decrease cost and time-to-market needed for the telecommunications industry to shift to cloud-native 5G.
- It can also open new lines of business for communication service providers as they deliver cloud-native 5G for enterprises
- Under the partnership, Google and Intel will focus on accelerating the deployment of Virtualized RAN (vRAN) and Open Radio Access Network (ORAN) solutions. The two tech giants plan to do so by providing infrastructure and hardware and launching new lab environments for innovation on cloud-native 5G.
- Google said vRAN can benefit operators through improved network performance and spectral efficiency, cost efficiencies, and flexible deployment models. It will also give communications service providers stringent network, and timing.
- With the new Network Functions Validation lab, Google and Intel intend to support vendors in testing, optimizing, and validating their core network functions running on Google Cloud’s Anthos for Telecom platform.
5G Technology
- 5G is the 5th generation mobile network. It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. 5G enables a new kind of network that is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together including machines, objects, and devices.
- 5G wireless technology is meant to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultra low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users.
How will 5G affect the global economy?
- $13.1 Trillion dollars of global economic output
- $22.8 Million new jobs created
- $265B global 5G CAPEX and R&D annually over the next 15 years
- 5G’s full economic effect will likely be realized across the globe by 2035—supporting a wide range of industries and potentially enabling up to $13.1 trillion worth of goods and services
Where is 5G used?
- 5G is used across three main types of connected services, including enhanced mobile broadband, mission-critical communications, and the massive IoT. A defining capability of 5G is that it is designed for forward compatibility—the ability to flexibly support future services that are unknown today.
- Enhanced mobile broadband– In addition to making our smartphones better, 5G mobile technology can usher in new immersive experiences such as VR and AR with faster, more uniform data rates, lower latency, and lower cost-per-bit.
- Mission-critical communications– 5G can enable new services that can transform industries with ultra-reliable, available, low-latency links like remote control of critical infrastructure, vehicles, and medical procedures.
- Massive IoT– 5G is meant to seamlessly connect a massive number of embedded sensors in virtually everything through the ability to scale down in data rates, power, and mobility—providing extremely lean and low-cost connectivity solutions.
