5G is more than a new radio access technology. Edge computing and
Network Slicing are key aspects to prevent operators to become dumb bit pipe providers Challenges with new radio technologies u High-frequency spectrum provides extra capacity but comes with much greater propagation limitations u Trials of 3.5 gigahertz spectrum indicate that its range falls to about 400 meters outdoors, compared to the much higher range seen with current spectrum, and has lower indoor penetration u In a city such as Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: • 2200 outdoor access sites with 4G ------------- more than 3000 needed with 5G • 350 indoor access sites with 4G ---------------- more than 1000 needed with 5G • 20% of access sites are using MW -------------- all sites must used fibers • 32 core sites with 4G ---------------------------- about 100 Cloud Edge DC with 5G u Without a new approach, the cost of a 5G Radio Access Network for a telco service provider will be significantly higher than 4G Network traffic density will grow by 10x 5G Capital Expenses u Using the current approach, operators will have to pay more to deploy 5G networks than they paid for 4G networks to achieve the same footprint u Taking South Korea as an example – a country of 51 million people with excellent fiber infrastructure that’s widely available to support the backbone of 5G services, the cost of 5G is set to exceed $8 Billion in capital investments for a single service provider u To reduce the risk to service providers, the South Korean ICT ministry was active in getting the operators to agree to an infrastructure sharing model as reported recently. SK Telecom, KT, LG Uplus and SK Broadband will jointly build a 5G infrastructure with significant cost savings u For a government looking to optimize service at a national level, it makes sense to eliminate spending duplication for basic performance parameters such as coverage and data rate while maintaining competition at the service layer u THREE FUNDAMENTAL WAYS TO ADDRESS THE 5G CAPITAL EXPENSES 1. Infrastructure sharing 2. New techniques to build the 5G radio and core infrastructure (OPEX and CAPEX reductions) 3. New sources of revenues (avoid to become a dumb bit pipe provider) Key Building Blocks of 5GC infrastructure Customer n Customer 5

u What are the key services provided by 5GC to its various
customers (e.g. Tcell, Babilon-Mobile, City of Dushanbe, VW Group, etc.)? 5G Network Slicing Network Slicing u Traditional telecom networks were built with physical nodes only, comprising one “monolithic” network that was to provide all the services offered by the network operator. The network was statically configured, mostly manually managed and a “single tenant environment”. u Network slicing is a new 3GPP paradigm which allows to create multiple logical and fully isolated networks on top of a common shared physical infrastructure u It permits to several communication and cloud service providers to share a common infrastructure. The key benefits are: • Economy-of-scale • Sustain Pay-as-you-grow business model • Permits flexible elastic resources of radio and compute resources • More cost-efficient solution than conventional monolithic network Example of 5GC Network Slicing

Moving toward a C-RAN Architecture Cloud Edge DC NEW C-RAN Architecture u To improve deployment flexibility and operation efficiency, a new mobile architecture, C-RAN has been introduced and thus fronthaul becomes the focal point of 5G’s future
u Centralizing the BBUs in a Cloud Edge DC allows the BBU pool to share the same physical infrastructure, including space, electricity and cooling systems
u Fronthaul and C-RAN technologies may not be a mandatory requirement
for 5G, but it is a critical and economy-of-scale solution for 5G mass rollout
u Most of the developed countries have high penetration rate of mobile
subscriptions, and revenue growth re-acceleration is almost impossible to achieve through enticing more subscribers with a faster mobile service (5G) 5G NR Massive MIMO SUMMARY u Saudi Arabia can have the first 5G Fully Distributed Cloud Infrastructure in the world u 5GC can provide a National 5G Infrastructure shared among existing mobile operators u Moreover, existing operators can be shareholders/owners of this shared infrastructure u 5GC infrastructure comprises: q A new 5G C-RAN infrastructure q A Fully Distributed Cloud Infrastructure u 5GC permits existing operators to compete by offering their own specific services: Videos, Gaming, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, etc. Sabir Saleem General Manager #313, Al Nasr Plaza Dubai, UAE.
