KEYNOTE: Driving DevOps closer to production
Philippe Ensarguet, Group CTO, Orange Business Services
GitOps – using continuous deployment, continuous operations (CD/CO) – further along the delivery pipeline is all about shifting from a prescriptive to declarative model to support automated operations via reconciliation loops. We look at why this is becoming important in telecoms.
Speaking up for 5G voice
Voice infrastructure is constantly evolving, as operators strive to deliver better quality calls while cutting operational costs. How will 5G and 5G Standalone live alongside and interact with IMS-based voice services that use 4G networks, and 5G voice over New Radio (VoNR)?
OSS – The most significant piece of the digitalization puzzle?
This ‘adapted’ quote is from Enrique Blanco, Group CTIO, Telefonica, who acknowledges that network operator’s Operating System Software (OSS) has proved a tough nut to crack. How are we progressing now?
PANEL: Consolidation: Why four into three will – and should – happen in Europe and beyond
John Strand, CEO, Strand Consult
Monika Nowak-Toporowicz, CTIO, Virgin Media Ireland
Yogesh Malik, CTO, Tele2
Moderator: Kester Mann, Director Consumer and Connectivity, CCS Insight
On several occasions, European regulators have blocked market consolidation that would have led to three instead of four network operators in a single country. Critics would argue their thinking was flawed, but now the continent’s telecoms landscape has changed. Is consolidation inevitable and what effects will it have, on whom?
Comfort break
Case study – Private 5G network in action
IoT is finally accelerating…
Marjana Senčar Srdič, Head of IoT Technology and Innovation, A1 Slovenija
What is the real value of IoT and Telco’s role in the LPWA Network ecosystem
Wi-Fi 6 has barely landed but WiFi 7 is already on the way – why does it matter?
In short, multi-link technology lowers latency in congested environments – who will benefit though?
PANEL: The trouble with NaaS
Gustavo Carvalho Domingos, Director Customer Operations & Technology, Telefonica Global Solutions
Johanne Mayer, Founder & Director, NaaS Compass
After more than five years of deploying network-as-a-service (NaaS), are operators getting the full benefits? Why are few, if any, inviting partners onto their NaaS platforms and what impact is this having on the market? Will Connectivity-as-a-Service wipe NaaS before it reaches its full potential?
