MWC21 Barcelona – 5G Infrastructure Sharing Summit
Webinar Summary
Time: 08:00 – 09:30 (CET)
Location: My MWC online
Active Network Sharing has provided significant introduction and growth benefits for the last 2 generations of network deployments. It is common practice across Europe and Asia. The introduction of new technologies in the 5G Era, such as; 5G NR architectures, Active Antennas, Virtualisation, Edge Compute, Network Slicing and Open Networking will re-shape active sharing architectures and commercial principles, maybe even requiring further specification work. This seminar will discuss the forming GSMA Foundry project and the work that needs to be undertaken to accelerate the adoption of 5G Sharing.
基础设施共建共享对最近两代移动通信网络的快速部署和扩大规模具有显著的好处,在欧洲和亚洲都得到了广泛的应用。在5G时代引入的一些新技术,例如新空口架构、主动式天线、虚拟化、边缘计算、网络切片和开放网络,对共建共享的技术架构和商业模式提出了一些新的要求,也可能对一些规范的更新提出了要求。本次峰会将讨论成立相应的GSMA创新工坊项目,以加速5G共建共享在全球移动通信网络中的·引入。
