EXPANDING THE ROLE OF THE MOBILE NETWORK OPERATOR IN M2M

March 1, 2016

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications is on the rise. Most mobile network operators (MNOs) are turning to M2M for growth in revenues buoyed by the significant growth projections for number of connected devices. With voice revenue reaching saturation and significant margin pressure on consumer data services, MNOs are attracted by the high margins involved in M2M connections.
Estimates for number of M2M devices in the future are in the billions of devices.
An oft quoted figure is from Ericsson: 50 Billion connections by 2020 [1], which is roughly ten times the number of cellular connections today. MNOs are investing a significant amount of resources in infrastructure platforms, partnerships, and marketing and sales to grow their M2M business.

Fixed 5th Generation Advanced and Beyond

whitePaper | September 20, 2022

One of the overarching goals of the ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) F5G on Fifth Generation Fixed Network is to establish a regular rhythm of evolution for the fixed telecommunications network. This technology enhancement corresponds to the series of generations defined for the wireless network. So far, F5G has published technical specifications on use cases, generations definition of fibre networks, architecture, and more. As it continues, these documents will be enhanced and revised to describe the fifth generation of fixed networks more fully. Therefore, we need to consider the evolution of F5G. This White Paper describes the drivers, dimensions, and technologies of the F5G advanced and beyond.
