Expert-led webinars for specialist knowledge

As operators around the world begin to plan their deployment of 5G SA and Open RAN, the focus on adopting a ‘cloud native’ approach to networking has come to the fore. Operators agree that cloud native is inevitable for networking but how differently do they see this working in practice?

In this webinar, we will share STL’s latest research findings on the different operator strategies in approaching cloud native networking. While some operators see cloud native technology and practices as essential parts of a wider change in their operating model, there are other operators more cautiously looking to accommodate cloud native networking within existing operating and partnership models. Can both be right?

We plan to discuss: 

• The key benefits of a ‘cloud native’ approach to networking
• Where different operators are heading
• Potential risks and mitigation

With emerging technologies such as 5G driving buzz, software developers expect to deliver more dynamic experiences to their customers. However, many of these new applications require capabilities, e.g. ultra-low latency, which can’t be delivered with 5G and cloud alone.

Enter edge cloud: developers can benefit from both the cloud’s flexibility and the reliability of local processing. AWS (Wavelength) is working with developers to enable new solutions in augmented reality & virtual reality, industry 4.0, digital health, amongst others.

In this webinar, we will be joined by speakers from AWS and AR/VR developer YBVR to address some of the big questions around edge cloud, including:

• What is edge cloud and what is the relationship with 5G?
• Why should ISVs and enterprises care? Which use cases are seeing most traction and in which industries?
• What are the business benefits of adopting edge cloud?
• What is AWS Wavelength and how does it work for developers and mobile operators?
• What’s the opportunity for mobile operators?

Private cellular networking, with 5G and LTE, is said to offer enterprises an opportunity to enable a host of different use cases, whilst delivering connectivity that is catered to enterprises’ specific needs.

It promises to not only enhance existing applications, but also unlock new applications and support their wider digital transformation journeys… But with all the hype surrounding private networking, it’s hard to tell whether it is simply another form of connectivity, or if it can truly act as an enabler of transformation.

In this webinar, we draw on findings from an interview programme and survey to over 200+ enterprises globally to address the following questions:

• How do private cellular networks (5G or LTE) fit into enterprises’ wider strategies, and how does this vary by industry (e.g. manufacturing, oil and gas, logistics etc.)?
• What are the key benefits of deploying private networks over alternative forms of connectivity, and what are the major challenges that different types of enterprises face when deploying them?
• Who are the key players in the ecosystem, and what is the role for telcos?

5G-enabled use cases are estimated to enable close to a 1% reduction in total global emissions by 2030 – this is equivalent to approximately half of all Canada’s carbon emissions in 2018.

There is a part to play in accelerating the reduction of carbon emissions for telcos, governments, the energy industry and other key stakeholders in the industry. We have identified 7 key principles for accelerating progress, such as:

• How operators need to deploy 5G to support this change
• Governments’ role in setting technology and emissions policies
• Telcos need to explore new business models to support the energy ecosystem

In this webinar STL Partners will demonstrate which 5G use cases play the biggest role in reducing emissions and how the ecosystem must work together. This is based on insights from interviews and surveys with operators, energy companies and governmental organisations.

We have a great panel lined up for the Q&A session, featuring representatives from the energy industry, who will provide their views on the topic:

Edge computing offers an opportunity for telcos to grow the B2B business. However, operators are grappling with defining the potential new products and services that edge opens up to them.

The sweet spot of opportunity is highly dependent on telcos’ starting point: some have existing capabilities within B2B networking and cloud, partnerships and strong customer relationships. But, for other telcos, the B2B business is nascent at a very early stage. And finally, edge infrastructure build differs across telcos, with some choosing to partner with hyperscalers to create the edge.

In this webinar, STL Partners leverages insights from interviews with top-tier CSPs and experience from our Edge Practice to discuss topics including:

• The variety of services operators can offer to B2B customers
• How telcos should think about edge services in the context of existing cloud, network services, private cellular and 5G
• Which factors may influence how successful telcos are in taking these services to market
• How telcos can leverage their existing capabilities to develop B2B edge services

The retail sector is already facing unique challenges: huge growth in e-commerce, an existential crisis for the high street and mounting pressures from consumer to deliver a totally seamless experience in and outside the store.

However, these have only been amplified by the unprecedented environment presented by COVID-19, which means retailers need to maximise their opportunity as countries come out of lockdown, enter the ‘new normal’ and gear up for the post-summer period. Edge is poised to be a key enabler in this, by unlocking new applications and capabilities that will enhance the customer experience across online and offline channels.

Key topics discussed in the webinar:

• The value of edge for retail customers
• Key use cases
• Real applications in retail that are using edge

Emerging technologies such as 5G, IoT, Edge Cloud, AI, promise to open up new services and business models for operators in B2B by enabling more dynamic, cloud-native, and “as a service”, solutions. Digital BSS can support and augment delivery of such services by creating seamless and flexible back-end systems to improve customers' and partners' experience.

In addition to this strategic opportunity, digitising BSS and moving towards zero-touch can have a material impact on revenues and operational costs, potentially increasing EBIT by c.34%. Digitising BSS should therefore be a part of all telcos’ B2B roadmap.

In this webinar, supported by MDS Global, STL Partners:

• highlight the potential financial benefits of digitising BSS
• define key digital BSS use cases and where most value can be derived
• explore how digital BSS fits into operators' wider strategy and a move towards cloud-native and virtualised services

The SOHO and SME segments represent a significant opportunity for telcos. In the EU alone, 99.8% of enterprises are SMEs and SOHOs, and contribute almost 60% of the EU’s total value added.

Besides its substantial size and potential incremental revenue streams, the SOHO/SME segment is a key market for telcos because:

• They want new communication services that are customisable, programmable and available in a cost-efficient, pay-as-you-grow model;
• They don’t have the dedicated IT departments and need solutions that are simple to onboard;
• They can benefit from cloud-based services, incorporating self-service and automation, making it easier to trial new services and reduce operational costs;
• They need mobile-first communication solutions accessible across multiple devices, to better manage engagement with both employees and customers.

In this webinar, we will explore:

• Current challenges SMEs and SOHOs face, and why telcos struggle to serve them
• Why the SME/SOHO segments are a key opportunity for telcos
• How telcos can support them leveraging cloud communication solutions
• Potential 'communications-as-a-service' use cases for SMEs and SOHOs

With all the hype, it’s difficult to determine how important edge is right now.

There are still many open questions with regards to investments at the edge:

• How much is being invested relative to other technologies? How might this change?
• Which edge is most important now and in future: regional data centres, network edge, on-prem edge? How does this vary by use case and industry?
• Where are edge investments being made across the value chain? Datacentres/facilities, hardware, software platforms or applications and services?
• What are the risks and rewards to consider when evaluating edge investments?

Operators have struggled with telco cloud to date. NFV deployments have suffered from a lack of truly ‘cloud-native’ components and approaches, and the industry continues to grapple with the complexities of transformation and building skillsets. Meanwhile, there is a growing urgency to safeguard investments in 5G new radio, which have been justified based on new use-cases which assume extreme sophistication in the network.

In this webinar, we argued that 5G will only pay if telcos find a way to make telco clouds work. We share learnings from first-hand work with operators and vendors about successful (and less successful) routes to cloud deployment, and suggest that shifting industry dynamics – new partnerships, ecosystems and integrations – mean that now is the time to make it happen.

In this session, Phil Laidler and Miran Gilmore explored how 5G can help to improve networks’ energy performance and curtail carbon emissions.

The inexorable growth in data volumes predicted over mobile networks in the next decade means that relying on “evolutionary” improvements to 4G will not be sufficient to curtail emissions from networks.

Phil and Miran argued telcos need to achieve a step-change in networks and business practices. 5G New Radio, massive MIMO and mmWave technologies will be able to provide this step-change at first to contain, and then to reduce, carbon emissions from mobile networks.

In this session Amy Cameron and Yesmean Luk looked at the opportunities for telcos in health.

As a growing industry, with a national focus and significant digitisation challenges, healthcare is an attractive vertical for telcos seeking to build new revenues beyond core communications services. But it is also notoriously slow to change and carries a high reputational risk if anything goes wrong.

Through ten case studies on telco plays in healthcare – including both successes and failures – they outlined the key considerations and potential strategies for telcos targeting the healthcare opportunity.

Edge computing from the front line: developer case studies

Much of the discussion around edge computing has focused on use cases which, although useful in demonstrating demand for the technology, are still hypothetical.

In this webinar we will present case studies “from the front lines” of developers and enterprises testing edge computing today across different applications such as AR/VR, video analytics, drone/UAV, live experiences and retail.

Key questions we will address during the webinar include:

• How does edge computing compare to expectations?
• What is measurable impact does edge computing make to the application?
• What is the value to software companies, enterprises and agencies?
• Given the value edge creates, how can telcos monetise this?

Virtualisation (NFV) and SDN fundamentally change network infrastructure and service agility. And telcos that act early could gain an advantage. In reality, few operators have taken up the challenge.

So what’s the right approach to match your business needs? How can you gauge when’s the right time to move – and how do you find a helicopter view of what’s happening in the market? Which vendors are selling which solutions, to whom - and why?

In this webinar, we’ll show how - with 5G on the horizon - telco virtualisation is at a tipping point. And look at data from the NFV deployment tracker which aggregates information on commercial deployments globally.
