Why vetting your 5G network rollout partner is everything
December 9, 2022
5G wireless technology is very different from previous mobile networks. It is one of the fastest and most robust technologies ever seen. As telecom operators upgrade their networks to 5G, they need experienced and trusted partners to support an innovative design approach, deployment scalability and E2E optimization solutions.
Finding the right telecom network deployment partner is vital as network technology continues to evolve. An experienced partner with commercial experience will help operators evaluate options and explore solutions to deliver network efficiencies and new services. A network partner should demonstrate how advanced analytics and planning can help prioritize network investments to optimally build higher-value networks. Ultimately, the right partner will help save operators time and money while efficiently deploying capital resources.
5G will provide many benefits including lower latency, increased speeds and exponential capacity. With 5G technology, there is a shift from data-centric to application-centric networks. Applications that leverage 5G networks are improving every facet of our lives. Healthcare, roadways, supply chains, and agricultural productivity are also benefitting, at a fraction of the costs of previous technologies. Most certainly, 5G will shift how we will use technology in our daily lives—from a convenience to a necessity.
Three key considerations for success when designing and deploying 5G networks
1. The line between telecom and the IT domain is blurring with new Radio Access Network (RAN) technologies.
Moving to an IT-based domain can transform wireless delivery and operations to increase network density and reduce latency. Mobile network operators (MNOs) and communications service providers (CSPs) are preparing to migrate to cloud-based open 5G RAN networks. As a result, workforces and processes need to adapt and change to support the networks of today and tomorrow. An experienced network partner will provide this agility with staffing and advanced technology solutions. Alternatively, a partner that focuses on a traditional telco model and network deployment will underutilize the full benefits and scale of a 5G network.
2. Network carriers must focus on specific use cases, end user needs and the priorities they intend to support.
Network builds today are multi-dimensional and must be customized for the operator while considering the use cases and network requirements. Next-generation networks will combine existing and evolving systems. 5G will not only support current systems’ needs and enable the capability for new services, but 5G network optimization is also vital. Optimization allows carriers and partners to automate processes, introduce artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and expand machine learning (ML). All of these efficiencies can co-exist with MNO’s networks and meet service level requirements for end users.
3. 5G networks are being deployed at a faster rate than any other previous network technology.
The accelerated implementation of 5G introduces unique challenges, including on-demand resource identification and real-time deployment in an increasingly difficult talent environment. Finding the right partners with experience, rigor, processes and staffing ensures specific requirements and on-time delivery benchmarks are exceeded with service level excellence.
Operators updating their mobile networks to 5G require an innovative design approach, deployment scalability and an E2E solution. See how operators can accelerate their 5G networks.
TeleWorld Solutions is a mobile network deployment market leader
TeleWorld Solutions helps operators make 5G a reality with innovative services and automation tools to speed up and simplify processes. We have been solving complex wireless technology problems and delivering customized network solutions for nearly two decades. This experience enables us to utilize automation and innovative technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning that improve network performance. Our diagnostic capabilities result in less downtime and increased network monetization for operators. In addition to delivering comprehensive end-to-end, industry-informed approaches, we provide our clients with cost-effective, customized solutions that ensure networks meet the needs of tomorrow, today.
Providing custom solutions for complex network challenges
We employ a range of innovative and proprietary technologies to deliver cost-effective network solutions. A few of our custom solutions include:
- H2 Algorithm – Our proprietary H2 Algorithm allows wireless networks to be designed based on RF predictions and other variables like access to fiber, crowdsourced datasets, and CU-DU location to ensure the network meets coverage, 5G, and use case requirements.
- OneClick C&I – The OneClick C&I solution enables thousands of network cell sites to go online daily, quicker, more efficiently, and more cost effectively than traditional commissioning and integration efforts.
- AI/ML Network Performance Management – Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is leveraged to triage end-to-end network issues and increase network performance.
Demonstrating mobile network expertise with use case examples
TeleWorld Solutions supports operators’ 5G network upgrades with commissioning and integration services. We have utilized our OneClick C&I solution for several Tier 1 carriers to integrate over 10,000 4G/5G sites for Sub-6GHz and mmWave. Additionally, we are able to do this with five times the efficiency. This solution leverages an orchestration approach to ensure that the latest network configuration is implemented. With TeleWorld Solutions’ custom algorithms, each site is treated uniquely based on the deployment scenario, and the OneClick C&I does it all. There is no need to create multiple separate scripts and translate CIQs. Our solution completes this in a customized and automated manner. It is easily scalable and able to support all major OEMs. The solution migrates and integrates the network quickly and effectively.
TeleWorld Solutions also supports operators with network densification with small cells. When a Tier 1 MNO needed to densify their network by deploying thousands of small cells, TeleWorld Solutions’ analytics-based approach was able to capture all requirements from the customer for a successful deployment. Typically, the traditional approach evaluating over 100,000 small cell candidates would have taken more than two months of RF engineers making predictions and evaluations. Using custom algorithms running on its analytics platform, TeleWorld Solutions completed the evaluation of all 100,000 candidates in less than two weeks, advancing deployment timing.
Supplying qualified industry staffing to meet resource demands
TeleWorld Solutions has an industry-leading staff of qualified professionals to support our operator partners’ needs. We are capable of streamlining network planning, testing and deployment with staff augmentation for site acquisition, construction, commissioning and integration. Our supplement staffing consists of project managers, field technicians, tower crews, network optimization engineers, performance engineers, and more. In addition to our staff, we have a network of over 5,000 TeleWorld Solutions trusted professionals and associates used to fill large and small resource demands.
The right network partner will help save time and money and avoid costly mistakes. TeleWorld Solutions has the experience and know-how to accelerate your network and make 5G a reality.
