🎨 Je ne sais pas vous, mais j'avais l’impression que ce mois de janvier n’allait jamais se finir. J’avais besoin de m’évader, de voyager. Et finalement, lorsque l’on observe les peintures de Wafaa Benyamina, on se sent comme transporter de l’autre côté de la Méditerranée, dans les rues d’Oran, qu’elle sublime. Il y a quelques temps, elle a ouvert sa propre galerie virtuelle, sous la forme d’un compte Instagram, que je vous invite FORTEMENT à suivre: @benyaaart.

Dans cet épisode, Wafaa Benyamina parle de son rapport à l’Algérie et à la peinture, ce qu’elle met d’elle dans ses projets, de ses inspirations et de ses cinq sens de l’Algérie.

Bonne écoute ✨

In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things 5G, the IoT, and the ecosystem as a whole, The Futurum Group's Ron Westfall and Clint Wheelock take a look at the top 5G developments and what’s going on that caught our eye.

Their discussion centers on:

Qualcomm: The Future of AI is Hybrid. Qualcomm sees wireless and AI as two technologies that will synergistically fuel future innovations, including especially across the 5G ecosystem. For two generations now, Qualcomm has used AI to enhance modem-RF system performance across its Snapdragon Modem-RF systems. Ron and Clint explore how AI can play an integral role in powering end-to-end wireless system design in key areas such as energy savings optimization, network load balancing, and device mobility management and why the 5G Advanced era provides the foundation to deliver a standardized wireless AI framework to deliver new breakthrough applications.

Nokia Unveils Airscale Baseband Capabilities That Bring AI to Mobile Networks. Nokia launched baseband capacity cards powered by ReefShark SoC technology, including Levante for ultra-performance and Lodos for high-performance aimed at 5G Advanced capabilities, as well as the Ponente 5G Advanced baseband control card, Pandion Multiband Remote Radio Heads, Shikra outdoor & indoor small cells, and the MantaRay intelligent network management and optimization solutions portfolio using AI-driven MantaRay Energy to optimize energy consumption in mobile networks. Ron and Clint assess why the new AI-infused AirScale portfolio boosts Nokia’s O-RAN and Cloud RAN proposition and 5G Advanced readiness.

NVIDIA Softbank Collaborate on Gen AI and 5G/6G Apps. NVIDIA and Softbank are collaborating on a platform for generative AI and 5G/6G apps based on the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip in support of Softbank’s plans to roll out at new, distributed AI data centers across Japan. The platform will use the new NVIDIA MGX reference architecture with Arm Neoverse-based GH200 Superchips, and is expected to improve performance, scalability and resource use of application workloads. Ron and Clint evaluate the prospects of the NVIDIA MGX architecture in moving the mobile ecosystem to scale and broaden adoption of wide array of apps such as AI, HPC, and NVIDIA Omniverse.

Tout Sur Ma Mère, le podcast où les filles racontent la femme qui se cache derrière leur mère. Et le lien qui les unit - ou les désunit. 

Dans cet épisode, Lætitia va à la rencontre de Fatima. La jeune femme a grandi entre deux rives, entre l'Algérie et la France, entre sa mère et ses grands-parents. Elle a été élevée "par tout un village" avant de connaître le huis-clos avec sa maman.  Mère qui l'incite à se débrouiller, à assumer ; ce qu'elle-même ne peut faire. 

Un récit émouvant à découvrir sans attendre. 

Well, it isn’t the technology behind it, it’s the disruptive business, operating and financial models that it creates. And I like to see how the industry will respond to this disruption. 

And let’s face it, OpenRAN has been riding pretty high on the hype curve, so I want to understand what it will take for it to live up to that hype. 

Today’s guest is uniquely suited to help me understand this. He has spent the past couple years working on the groundbreaking Rakuten OpenRAN deployment in Japan, so he’s seen first hand the benefits OpenRAN can deliver - and the challenges faced when deploying it. 

In addition to that, he works for a company that, on the surface, looks like it would be one of the main companies disrupted by this new model, so I want to understand why they are embracing it. 

He is Terry McCabe, Nokia’s Chief Technology Officer for Asia Pacific & Japan, where he spearheads Nokia’s 5G technology strategy. And yes, we’ll talk a bit about 5G - and 6G - as well. 

Show Notes:

01:30 How does Nokia define OpenRAN?

04:10 OpenRAN has the potential to disrupt how mobile operators will purchase their networks in the future - yet that didn’t stop Nokia from being an early supporter of the OpenRAN Alliance.  What was the rationale behind that decision?

05:30 The first major OpenRAN network deployment was Rakuten in Japan - and Nokia was one of the vendors involved in it. What were your major learnings from this deployment?

09:30 What are Nokia’s plans for the next phase of OpenRAN?

10:45 It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for OpenRAN, not least when Nokia and some other vendors halted their participation in the OpenRAN Alliance due to concerns raised by the US government about IP protection. That has since been resolved, but is this a sign of the challenges OpenRAN will face in the future?

12:00 When some operators, like AT&T, talk about their plans for OpenRAN, they state their initial deployments will be for in-building and rural coverage. Does that mean we won’t see it deployed in city centres?

13:15 What does the ideal OpenRAN customer look like?

14:15 OpenRAN and its potential role in Private 5G

15:30 Who / What / Where should we be keeping an eye on for the next phase of growth for OpenRAN?

17:30 Some people believe that it’s too late for OpenRAN to be leveraged for 5G network deployments, meaning that it’s real impact would be on 6G deployments. Would you agree?

18:30 What are the Critical Success Factors for OpenRAN to live up to the hype?

19:30 What are some of the risks OpenRAN faces (e.g. energy consumption, openness)

21:30 How do you think the OpenRAN Alliance will evolve - and what impact will the hyperscalers have on the industry?

23:35 What’s your prediction for how OpenRAN will evolve in the near term (12-24 months)?

26:00 What are the Best & Worst Case Scenarios for OpenRAN in the medium to long term (5-10 years)?

28:00 Beyond OpenRAN, what else excites you about the future of connectivity?

(spoiler alert: 6G, Enterprise Solutions, Private Networks)

For this vignette of a recent episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Part of the 5G Factor series, analysts Ron Westfall and Shelly Kramer share their perspective on the Nokia’s decision to pause its work in the O-RAN Alliance due to concerns related to working with China-based companies that are on the U.S. Department’s restrictive Entity list.

Their conversation addressed:

• Why the O-RAN Alliance is influential across the entire 5G mobile ecosystem and Nokia’s decision is important.
• The factors behind Nokia’s decision including the shutdown of ZTE in Q2 2018 for running afoul of U.S. trade and economic policies.
• How Nokia’s decision amounts to what qualifies only as a kerfuffle since the O-RAN Alliance is one of many major organizations supporting standard-based Open RAN development and that resolving Nokia’s concerns are at hand.

Ron and Shelly see Nokia’s decision to pause its contributions in the O-RAN Alliance as sound and that the prospect or idea of massive fallout in advancing the cause of Open RAN and Open 5G are over hyped and misplaced.   

Les rapatriés français d'Algérie ont été, et sont encore parfois, les victimes d'une mauvaise réputation. Considérés comme des étrangers par certains ou comme de méchants colons par d'autres, les pieds noirs forment une communauté soudée par le souvenir d'une terre qu'ils ont dû quitter par la force. L'un des pires épisodes de la guerre d'Algérie reste pour eux les massacres d'Oran du 5 juillet 1962. Trois mois et demi après la signature des accords d'Évian, deux jours après la reconnaissance officielle de l’indépendance, et quelques heures avant sa proclamation, plusieurs centaines d'hommes et de femmes seront massacrés ou enlevés sans que l'armée française réagisse.

Fabrice Rodriguez est un fils de rapatriés. Je l'ai rencontré en 2007 à Toulouse. Il nous dit ce que recouvre pour lui le terme de communauté pieds noirs et nous dévoile le rapport qu'il entretient avec l'histoire de ses parents.

Depuis les années 70 chaque Jeudi de l'Ascension ce sont plusieurs centaines de pieds-noirs venus de toute la France qui se retrouvent à Nîmes. Les Pieds-noirs y prient la vierge d'Oran ramenée en France dans les années 60, après l'indépendance de l'Algérie, dans le quartier du Mas de Mingue, où un sanctuaire a été reconstruit à l'identique.

Michel Perez nous raconte l'histoire de ce lieu.

In this podcast, we are going to take another look at 5G. In our last episode, we discussed whether Telcos will be able to monetise their 5G investments. We were pretty harsh in our criticism of the 5G ecosystem, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t think 5G will be a game changer. Rather, I just think we need to reset our expectations of capabilities and benefits that 5G will bring to the market.

Yes, 5G will bring faster speeds, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. 

In this episode, we sat down with Danial Mausoof, Nokia’s Global Sales Head for Enterprise Services, to discuss what differentiates 5G from traditional networks - and and whether 5G will become the tech industry buzzword that FINALLY lives up to the HYPE. .

Show Notes:

01:30 Danial’s career journey with Motorola Solutions & Nokia 

09:05 What differentiates 5G from the existing networks like 4G?

12:40 Today’s 5G networks deliver faster speeds, but there is still more spectrum to be allocated that will support future 5G services (e.g. mission-critical services). How do you see 5G deployments evolving?

17:00 Nokia recently released its “5G Readiness Report”, where it surveyed 1,628 global technology decision makers about “5G+ enabled digitalisation.” To start, what the hell is 5G+ enabled digitalisation?

19:50 In 2030, 5G+ spend in 2030 will reach $4.5 Trillion - but only $600 Billion (13%) will be for public connectivity. $2.2 Trillion (48%) will be on Edge Infrastructure / Cloud Platforms. How is this related to 5G?

22:10 $900 Billion (20%) of this spend will be on Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning - how is this related to 5G?

24:40 The final $800 Billion (18%) relates to the deployment of Private 5G networks. Why do we need Private 5G networks - and why are companies like John Deere and Bosch deploying them to support their manufacturing plants?

30:00 86% of decision makers already have some kind of a 5G strategy - what are the use cases that are driving the strategic focus on 5G?

33:00 72% of those surveyed say they plan to invest in 5G by 2025. What do these enterprises need to do to make sure they get a positive ROI on these investments - and what challenges will they need to overcome?

36:20 How will 5G impact Smart Cities?

39:00 Tough Question #1: What are the security implications for 5G?

43:20 Tough Question #2: Let’s say I am a tech decision maker managing the complexities created by the global pandemic - why should I give a damn about 5G?

45:20 Tough Question #3: 500,000 South Korean consumers have switched back to 4G from 5G - does that mean that we really don’t need 5G?

47:15 Tough Question #4: As an industry, we have failed to live up to the hype around the latest tech trends (e.g. 4G, IoT, or Smart Cities). Will we learn from our past mistakes - or will 5G follow a similar path?

49:15 What is something going on in the 5G ecosystem that we should be tracking? (spoiler alert: it is OpenRAN)

50:30 Tell me about a solution that 5G will enable that I - as a consumer - should be excited about. 

52:00 When do we have to start worrying about 6G? 

Exploring the motivations behind the formation of this new group Open RAN Policy Coalition  and the prognosis for 5G infrastructure business in the USA, in view of security concerns and Huawei ban. 

The coalition includes who's who of US Tech industry -- Cloud giants, Compute majors, Chipset leaders, and Global Operators.

Will and Jeremiah discuss new music by Hot Chip, Hatchie, and Weyes Blood, plus live reports and a trip report.
