Ngaba indawo emnandi ye-5G SA iyanyamalala?
UDavid Martin, umhlalutyi ophezulu kunye nentloko yelifu le-telecom kwi-STL Partners, uxelele uFierce ukuba ngelixa "izithembiso ezininzi" zenziwe ngabaqhubi be-5G SA ukuthunyelwa malunga ne-2021 kunye ne-2022, ezininzi zezo zithembiso ziseza kwenzeka.
“Abasebenzi baphantse bathula kule nto,” utshilo uMartin. Sifikelele kwisigqibo sokuba, eneneni, uninzi [lwezinto ezicwangcisiweyo zokusasazwa] azinakuze zigqitywe.” Ngokutsho kweSTL Partners, oku kungenxa yezinto ezininzi ezahlukeneyo.
Njengoko uMartin wachazayo, abaqhubi basenokuba balibazisa ukuthunyelwa kwe-5G SA ngenxa yokungaqiniseki okujikeleze ukuthunyelwa kwe-SA ngokwayo, kunye nokungathembeki ekuthumeleni i-5G SA kwifu likawonkewonke. "Luhlobo lwesangqa esikhohlakeleyo, ngengqiqo yokuba i-SA ngumsebenzi wothungelwano olufanele ukuthunyelwa kwilifu likawonkewonke, kodwa abaqhubi abaqinisekanga kakhulu malunga neziphumo ezibanzi zokwenza oko ngokwemigaqo, ukusebenza, ukhuseleko. , ukomelela njalo njalo,” utshilo uMartin. UMartin waqaphela ukuba ukuzithemba okukhulu kwi-5G SA iimeko zokusetyenziswa kunokuqhuba abaqhubi abaninzi ukuba babathumele kwilifu likawonkewonke. Nangona kunjalo, uthe, ngaphaya kwamandla okucutshulwa kwenethiwekhi, "zimbalwa kakhulu iimeko eziluncedo eziphuhlisiwe kwaye zathengiswa."
Ukongezelela, abaqhubi sele bezabalaza ukuvelisa imbuyekezo kwi-investment ekhoyo kwi-5G engekho-standalone (5G NSA). I-STL ikwaqaqambisa utshintsho kubaboneleli belifu loluntu ngokwabo. Yaphawula, umzekelo, ukuba bekukho amathandabuzo malunga nokuzibophelela kukaMicrosoft kwilifu le-telecom emva kokuba ihlengahlengise ishishini layo lokuthwala ukubandakanya iimveliso ezingundoqo eziphathwayo ezibandakanya ukuyekwa kwangaphambili okuQinisekisiweyo kunye neeseti zeemveliso zeMetaswitch. "Ndicinga ukuba oku kubangela ukuba abaqhubi bathandabuze ngakumbi kuba i-AWS ikwindawo entle yokusebenzisa eli thuba kwaye iseke ubunkokeli kunye nolawulo kwizakhono zothungelwano ezenziwa ngamafu, kodwa ngokucacileyo abaqhubi abafuni ukuba i-AWS ilawule kwaye banokulinda de abanye abadlali bayenyuka kwaye babonise ukusebenza kunye nokomelela kweziseko zabo zamafu, ”utshilo uMartin. Wabhekisela kwiLifu likaGoogle kunye ne-Oracle njengabathengisi ababini abanokuthi "bazalise isithuba." Esinye isizathu sokuthandabuza malunga ne-5G SA kukuba abanye abaqhubi banokukhangela itekhnoloji entsha efana ne-5G Advanced kunye ne-6G. UMartin uthe i-5G Advanced (ekwaziwa ngokuba yi-5.5G) kwimeko yokusetyenziswa ayifuni ngokuqhelekileyo ukuba isetyenziswe yodwa, kodwa waphawula ukuba iteknoloji ye-RedCap ihlukile kuba ixhomekeke kwi-5G SA ye-network slicing kunye nonxibelelwano olukhulu lomatshini. okanye eMTC) ubunakho. “Ke ukuba iRedCap yamkelwe ngokubanzi, inokusebenza njengento ekhuthazayo,” utshilo.
Inqaku lomhleli: Emva kokupapashwa kweli nqaku, u-Sue Rudd, umlawuli olawulayo we-BBand Communications, uthe i-5G Advanced isoloko ifuna i-5G SA njengento efunekayo, kungekhona nje i-RedCap 'ngaphandle'. "Yonke imigangatho ye-3GPP ye-5G esemgangathweni iphakamisa i-5G ye-architecture esekelwe kwinkonzo," watsho. Ngelo xesha, uMartin ubona, abaninzi abaqhubi ngoku ekupheleni komjikelezo wotyalo-mali lwe-5G, kwaye "baza kuqala ukujonga kwi-6G." UMartin waphawula ukuba abaqhubi be-Tier 1 esele bekhuphe i-5G SA kwisikali "ngoku baya kufuna imbuyekezo kolu tyalo-mali ngokuphuhlisa iimeko zokusetyenziswa kwenethiwekhi," kodwa wathi "uluhlu olude lwabaqhubi abangekaqalisi i-5G SA ngoku linda ecaleni, mhlawumbi ujonge nje i-5.5G kwaye ulibazise ukuthunyelwa kwe-SA ngokungenasiphelo.
Ngelo xesha, ingxelo ye-STL ibonisa ukuba amathuba okuba i-vRAN kunye ne-RAN evulekile ibonakala ithembisa ngakumbi kune-5G SA, apho i-vRAN ichazwa njengehambelana nemigangatho ye-Open RAN kodwa ngokuqhelekileyo inikezelwa ngumthengisi oyedwa. Apha, uMartin wenza kucace ukuba abaqhubi akufuneki balungelelanise utyalo-mali kwi-5G SA kunye ne-vRAN/Vula i-RAN, kwaye utyalo-mali olunye aluqinisekanga kwangaphambili olunye. Ngelo xesha, wathi abaqhubi abaqinisekanga ukuba yiyiphi i-investment ezimbini ekufuneka ibekwe phambili, kwaye bayabuza ukuba i-5G SA iyadingeka ngokwenene ukuze "isebenzise ngokupheleleyo izibonelelo ze-Open RAN, ngakumbi ngokwemigaqo ye-RAN yokucwangcisa inethiwekhi kunye ulawulo lwespectrum." Oku kukwangumba onzima. "Ndicinga ukuba abaqhubi bebecinga ngale mibuzo kwiminyaka emibini okanye emithathu edlulileyo, kungekhona nje nge-SA, kodwa siphatha njani ifu likawonkewonke? Ngaba siya kwamkela imodeli epheleleyo yamafu amaninzi?
Yonke le miba idibene, kwaye awukwazi ukujonga nayiphi na enye yazo yedwa kwaye ungayihoyi umfanekiso omkhulu, "wongezelela. Ingxelo ye-STL iphawula ukuba kwi-2024, iiprojekthi ezibalulekileyo ze-Open / vRAN ezivela kubaqhubi abakhulu kuquka i-AT & T, iDeutsche Telekom. , I-Orange kunye ne-STC kulindeleke ukuba iqalise imisebenzi yorhwebo kwinqanaba elithile UMartin wongezelela ukuba imodeli ye-vRAN "inamandla okuba yimpumelelo ye-5G evulekileyo ye-RAN." ukusebenza kakuhle kunye nokukwazi ukubonisa ukuthunyelwa kwayo ngendlela evulekileyo." Kodwa ndicinga ukuba amandla e-vRAN makhulu kakhulu, "utshilo.
