Another reason #euro2024 should be a fun watch – 5G will be involved! Broadcaster RTL Deutschland and Deutsche Telekom are working together to use 5G services via a private 5G network to deliver “data-intensive applications” with the network running in the 3.7GHz to 3.8GHz range and offering up to 100MHz of bandwidth to the broadcaster. Great to see innovation being driven by events in the market to actually test use cases and push barriers rather than there merely being a lot of talk about how great private networks could be. #connectivity #networks #privatenetworks #private5g #investment #innovation #mnos #Germany #2g #3g #4g #5g #business #enterprise #growth #mobile #mobilenetworks #telecoms #telecommunications #technology #stadiums #sport #football https://lnkd.in/e_QH3wPi

2 great paragraphs from Gabriela “I am very optimistic about the opportunity, but also realistic about the gaps to turn this opportunity into material revenue growth 💰, such as facilitating API discovery and awareness, reaching substantial scale, but perhaps most important of all is for Telcos to step up to the role of becoming a true product innovation company 💡to monetise on the true value which goes beyond selling APIs. To unleash product and services innovation goes beyond technology and culture, and is also about skills, processes, and an operating model that ring fences strategic product line management, with business development, product management, and product development capabilities - with the purpose to deliver true customer centric innovation and increase the speed from innovation to strategy, strategy to incubation, and incubation to scale.” Less time on big projections and consulting reports, more time on product iteration and real value discovery.

Great write up from TelecomTV about how Orange has provided connectivity at the #parisolympics in 2024, including discussion of how Private Networks have played a key role. One really interesting point from Bertrand ROJAT, Chief Technology and Information Officer at Orange Events was a recommendation in the future to use more Wi-Fi and mobile rather than wired networks. He explained that with fixed networks, one of the biggest challenges facing the French telco is the deinstallation of the cables in a way that allows the assets to be re-used and deployed in its day-to-day production network. This is a concept we at Shared Access have been hearing a lot from businesses and landlords about being more flexible for the future to allow for change – a key point in any walk of life. Great write up, worth a read. https://lnkd.in/ejyPDbBC #connectivity #networks #privatenetworks #private5g #investment #innovation #mnos #2g #3g #4g #5g #business #enterprise #france #towers #masts #inbuilding #property #realestate #growth #mobile #mobilenetworks #telecoms #telecommunications #technology #sport

Great to see more innovation in the Private Network space, this time by Orange who are focusing on improving connectivity and broadcasting at the #Paris 2024 #Olympics. Rather than hype, this sounds like innovation that will actually both improve existing technology solutions and offer something not seen before – in this case a partnership with Samsung Electronics that involves installing more than 200 Galaxy S24 Ultra #smartphones on 85 vessels due to convey around 10,500 athletes during the event’s opening ceremony. This will create new content that otherwise would not exist that can enhance the games and potentially create new revenue streams for the organisers and Orange. #connectivity #networks #privatenetworks #private5g #investment #innovation #mnos #2g #3g #4g #5g #business #enterprise #france #broadcasting #TV #property #realestate #growth #mobile #mobilenetworks #telecoms #telecommunications #technology #france https://lnkd.in/ekPspZqb

URGENT: put an end to France's problems. In order to put a rapid and radical end to the various problems that French society is experiencing (as described by Messrs. Jordan Bardella and Michel Houellebecq, CNews TNT TV, and numerous others), I suggest to the French Government (personally I am Franco-Lebanese) to expel to Rwanda (as did by UK) or elsewhere, within a maximum period of 3 months, all foreigners (without any exception) present irregularly or even regularly on French soil. This without any distinction of profession or diploma (doctors, engineers, researchers, pharmacists, professors, judges, magistrates, lawyers, pilots, writers, philosophers, intellectuals or pseudo-intellectuals, journalists, economists, investors, businessmen and women, mayors, deputies, ministers, local elected officials, civil servants, students, etc., newspaper sellers, kiosks, nightclub bouncers, security agents, law enforcement officers, police officers, gendarmes, soldiers, SNCF agents and the RATP, market gardeners, waiters in cafes and restaurants, farmers, nurses, midwives, supermarket staff, construction and public works staff, logistics agents at airports, day and night reception agents in hotels, subcontracting technicians in infrastructure, sweepers, home delivery men, building guards, mechanics, etc., prisoners, thugs, drug traffickers, criminals, etc.). Starting imperatively and obviously with those of Arab-Muslim origin. It will then be necessary to proceed, and without delay, to expel all French people of foreign origin for at least 4 generations, and systematically nationalize their property (of all kinds) in order to help the frensh minister of finances Mr Bruno Le Maire to fill the deficit budget of France and straighten out public finances. Urgent.

Great article highlighting one of the points that has had a major impact on the deployment of networks across the globe - how Governments 'sell' spectrum to MNOs and the impact this can have on rollouts. We have seen auctions in the past that have raised billions for Government coffers, but that leaves MNOs with major headaches in terms of monetisation as they then must upgrade (or build) masts and networks across the entire country, add new active equipment and provision upgraded backhaul, all of which is expensive, especially when they are in price wars with each other for customers. Renewals of these spectrum allocations will become more and more of an issue as the original licence periods expire, interesting to see how the German regulator is approaching the issue – especially considering their decisions creating new challenger companies when other M&A has taken place which potentially creates more headaches later on. Worth a read. #connectivity #networks #spectrum #strategy #investment #innovation #mnos #regulation #2g #3g #4g #5g #business #enterprise #germany #europe #UK #growth #mobile #mobilenetworks #telecoms #telecommunications https://lnkd.in/ejVdwW6T
