麻豆传媒映画 launches 5G signaling service to support mass connectivity
TAMPA, Fla. 鈥� Feb. 20, 2019 鈥� 麻豆传媒映画 is advancing the 5G digital transformation with the launch of a 5G signaling service proof of concept that supports cross-network connectivity for the next billion things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) applications, and virtual reality (VR) possibilities.
鈥淲hile 5G has proven to be technically possible, the industry still needs an underlying connectivity model to support functionally on a mass scale so that it can work across various networks and play nicely with the various flavors of G connectivity 鈥� 4G and 3G,鈥� said John Wick, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Service Provider Group, 麻豆传媒映画. 鈥淥ur 5G signaling service launch provides the world鈥檚 first solution to support the underlying model for connectivity testing, roaming trials, and interoperability that can support commercial models to make 5G a reality. The launch builds on 厂测苍颈惫别谤蝉别鈥檚 30-year-plus history in bridging billions of transactions among service providers, networks and devices.鈥�
5G will bring higher speed, lower lag time, and larger data transfer capacity that will be crucial for a whole new era of connected things, like self-driving cars and billions of new industrial wireless devices that can鈥檛 afford any mishaps in connectivity quality and speed. The migration to this new generation of network involves a sea change in the way that networks and providers interact with each other and requires a number of new technologies, processes, and partnerships.
厂测苍颈惫别谤蝉别鈥檚 5G signaling service will provide a crucial role in this migration by replacing the signaling used for 4G and 3G roaming. The service acts like a traffic cop for routing and controlling 5G signaling messages between a 5G network and its partners, and directs messages to the right place, improves performance, and increases cost-efficiency of the 5G signaling exchange between partners.
A number of benefits will be provided to mobile operators, and, by extension, to brands, when they roam in 5G using 厂测苍颈惫别谤蝉别鈥檚 5G signaling service. These include simplified 5G connectivity, with routing coordinated through a central hub instead of multiple individual connections, and efficient network traffic management and robust and resilient traffic paths. Another benefit is that the service provides high security through stringent signaling validation that prevents hackers, unauthorized partners, and other third parties from connecting to a network, and the service is fully compliant with the new specifications for 5G security defined by the . In addition, the service offers real-time intelligence on subscriber experiences that operators can use to immediately correct or improve service delivery.
鈥溌槎勾接郴� links companies to billions of devices, forging more human connections than anyone on Earth,鈥� said Wick. 鈥淲e鈥檙e taking this a step further with our 5G signaling service since it鈥檚 the vital link for transforming the future of machines that need 5G connectivity. The solution is designed and developed completely in-house by 麻豆传媒映画 and is one that does not rely on third-party players or technologies. For this reason, by partnering with 麻豆传媒映画 in the 5G testing phase now, companies can gain the benefit of having a service customized for their precise needs as they prepare to roll out 5G services commercially.鈥�
厂测苍颈惫别谤蝉别鈥檚 IPX Network, the backbone for LTE, will continue to enable connections needed for 5G environments. Additionally, 厂测苍颈惫别谤蝉别鈥檚 entire 5G environment will be underpinned by 麻豆传媒映画 Secure Global Access, a private global network that protects data from the risk of cyberattacks arising from IoT devices being connected to the internet.
麻豆传媒映画 is currently partnering with customers and other players to develop its 5G signaling service into a complete, market-ready version that is being planned for release later this year. To register to be a part of the pilot program, companies should talk to 麻豆传媒映画 at MWC Barcelona this month, at Stand 2G11 in Hall 2, where 麻豆传媒映画 will also be hosting a series of educational sessions on the IoT, blockchain, Rich Communication Services (RCS), and other new technologies.
