BT & EE’s First To 5G Trial in Canary Wharf
BT has started its first live UK trial of 5G based technology in Canary Wharf Square. This is a high capacity zone test as Montgomery Square includes a London Underground entrance and high rise offices. The footfall is in excess of 150k people per day. High capacity zone testing is a critical part of EE’s… Continue reading BT & EE’s First To 5G Trial in Canary Wharf
Enterprise Architect’s Guide to Cloud Licencing Models
Moving to cloud licencing models, including SaaS, does not become less difficult and with the possible proliferation of services can become difficult for the Enterprise to govern. As with any type of licence agreement the Enterprise must know the agreement they have signed, the implications of the licensing model and the interaction on other 3rd… Continue reading Enterprise Architect’s Guide to Cloud Licencing Models
Edge SDN as a Service
Not all micro-services can be stateless lambda functions. Some services must maintain state. A good example is the management of autonomous vehicle platooning functions across multiple radio network sites. A challenge for this distributed statefulness is if the stateful micro-services are running in a specific container then how does the SDN controller manage networking to… Continue reading Edge SDN as a Service
5G Streaming IT Architecture
A recent TMF article https://inform.tmforum.org/digital-transformation-and-maturity/2018/04/37114/ explains BT & EE's streaming IT architecture provides an event correlation architecture for 5G services. This architecture seems to support real time streaming services across virtualised network functions specifically for 5G.
Cloud Migration of a Legacy IT Estate
There are many things to consider when migrating a legacy IT estate to the cloud. The first though must be what are the motivations and expected benefits. Many organisations have many decades of developed software running on private infrastructure and migration to the cloud is something they think they should do. Migrating an estate to… Continue reading Cloud Migration of a Legacy IT Estate
A Reference Architecture for Cloud Operational Support Systems
How can CSPs migrate their OSS to the cloud?
12 Reasons Why Cloud OSS hasn’t happened so far
I am regularly asked why there are so few Cloud OSS, or OSS as a Service, options when AWS / GCP and Azure all have IoT plays. I have also wondered why no systems integrator has deployed ONAP on AWS (or other). The following are the main reasons why I think such an option has… Continue reading 12 Reasons Why Cloud OSS hasn’t happened so far
Bringing IT (OSS) all together
I try and fit components together logically so that they can make the most of what the technology offers. I work predominantly in the OSS world on new access technologies like 5G and implementations like the Internet of Things. I want to achieve not just the deployment of these capabilities but to also to let… Continue reading Bringing IT (OSS) all together
5G, Iaas and Mobile Edge Computing
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a key piece of the 5G architecture (or 5G type claims on a 4G RAN). MEC can already make a huge difference in video latency and quality for video streaming multiple feeds within a sporting environment. For example Intel, Nokia and China Mobile video streams of the Grand Prix at… Continue reading 5G, Iaas and Mobile Edge Computing
