Rakuten acquires Altiostar for $1 billion in a bid to accelerate global deployment and adoption of cloud native open and interoperable mobile infrastructure, especially open, virtual RAN technology. Futurum’s Ron Westfall examines why the Rakuten’s acquisition of Altiostar provides a massive boost to the Open RAN cause, alters the competitive mix across the entire 5G landscape, and provides a template for CSPs serious about fulfilling their Open 5G mission.
AT&T preps for 5G coming to life at recent WarnerMedia Innovation Lab Event. Futurum’s Shelly Kramer takes a look at some newly announced partnerships coming out of the recent 5G push at a media event at the WarnerMedia Innovation Lab event in NYC.
Qualcomm delivered an outstanding Q3 result on the strength of 5G and its investments in IoT, Automotive, and RFFE all paying off.
In our research paper “Intel: 5G Trailblazer Powering 5G Ecosystem-wide Innovation”, we conclude that operator 5G decision makers must prioritize considering Intel as their primary trusted advisor in driving their 5G network journeys, since Intel provides the extensive portfolio capabilities and channel expertise (i.e., Intel Network Builders) across the most strategic 5G technology areas, such as network cloudification, 5G edge, 5G core, vRAN, and 5G ecosystem, needed to meet the highest priority 5G business objectives.
In this new episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast – Interview Series, Futurum co-founder Daniel Newman talks with AT&T’s GM of Channel Marketing, Jush Danielson about AT&T’s partnership with MxD and what that means for the future of 5G.
What is Radio frequency front end (RFFE), and what part does this critical mobile technology play in delivering advanced RF-Modem systems? These are just the first two answers that Futurum senior analyst Olivier Blanchard answers in this three-part series about how RFFE is already solving the growing engineering complexities of 5G, perhaps chief among them how to elegantly solve mmWave challenges, deliver high performance solutions like Qualcomm’s X65 modem-RF system, and provide high speed, low latency connectivity to mobile devices, vehicles, and IOT devices.
In this new LinkedIn Live episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast – Interview Series, Futurum co-founder Daniel Newman talks with Intel’s Dan Rodriguez and Ericsson’s Per Narvinger about some of the announcements Intel made during MWC 2021.
