The race to be the first to scale 5G is on. The telecom industry is fast at work building a foundation for the 5G future, including laying the proverbial pipe, imagining and deploying innovative products and services, and striking exciting strategic partnerships. But, winning won’t come easy.
To fund additional investments, carriers must first focus on delivering 5G services that are compatible with 4G core mobile networks. As demand for advanced 5G services grows, carriers can update their core networks and offer more advanced 5G services.
Fixed wireless access provides high-speed broadband comparable to fiber optic networks without the need to deploy expensive, fixed lines. Fixed wireless access is especially appealing in rural and dense urban areas where laying fiber optic lines is difficult and/or expensive.
Operators must explore revenue streams in a new realm: “B2B2X” category of business-to-business-to-consumer (or business-to-business-to-business). By replacing legacy network infrastructure with competitive, cloud-based services, operators can go far beyond marketing generic connectivity services and target large enterprises and small to medium sized clients with more valuable services—in particular with respect to video and IoT.
