EMMB, MMTC & URLLC, the three scenarios of 5G
5G cellular networks have become far more popular thanks to the new uses they can provide to public services and industrial segments. The current technological context is key for the implementation of 5G architecture, based on SDN / SD-WAN - Software Defined Network, NFV - Network Function Virtualization or MEC - Multi-Access Edge Computing technologies. The following use cases are only an...
Vehicle digitalization in different markets
Reinventing an organization in the telecommunications sector is a difficult but rewarding task. Corporate strategy through to process reengineering, if properly implemented, can have a positive impact on costs and efficiency when launching a product to market (at the speed the customer wants) and/or discovering needs.
