Next Generation Communications Week in Review: Deloitte, Nokia, Telecom Italia & More

July 22, 2017


By Alicia Young - Web Editor

Welcome back to the week in review, where we take a look at all the top stories making headlines on the Next Generation Communications community this week.

The week started off with claims from Deloitte that there’s a fiber shortage in the U.S., which could put a real hold on 5G network rollouts and services.  According to Paula Bernier (News - Alert), “It could also adversely impact efforts to bridge the digital divide, and for carriers to address growing mobile data traffic – which is expected to quadruple between last year and 2021.” Find out how this problem is being addressed HERE.

Next up, Bernier reported that Ericsson, Huawei (News - Alert) and Nokia have all been in discussions with Indian telecommunications network operators to figure out how to get India back on track when it comes to 5G. Bharti Airtel and BSNL are working with Nokia to define 5G network strategies and use cases. Meanwhile, Ericsson (News - Alert) has been talking with those and other carriers about 5G plug-ins. Everything you need to know is HERE.

While India struggles to get on course for 5G, the Republic of San Marino is hoping to lead the 5G movement. Bernier writes, “San Marino officials and Telecom Italia (News - Alert), which will build and operate the network, this week announced their plans on this front. The carrier will begin upgrading the network to 4.5G technology and introducing some 5G features such as carrier aggregation, MIMO4x4 technology, small cells, and more.” Continue reading HERE.

Finally, the week rounded out with the news that the German government is reportedly pushing the nation’s cellular carriers to put more investment into 5G. As Bernier points out, “This comes amid concerns that Europe is lagging behind other parts of the world in building 5G cellular networks and delivering the higher-speed bandwidth and Internet of Things support they can enable.” Find out what the German government wants to do to fix this problem HERE.
