Monetizing 5G: In the right place, at the right time - moving to the Edge

Jennifer Gill Didoni, Head of 5G Cloud and Services, Vodafone

The telecom technology available to customers is undergoing a massive transformation: 5G, IoT, SDN, and multi-access edge computing can be complex to piece together. Vodafone starts with the business outcomes customers want to achieve, and helps them get the right data to the right things, in the right place and at the right time. In today’s world, responsiveness matters; milliseconds matter. Customers who can embrace this new paradigm the quickest will build the next killer apps, disrupt their industries, and gain competitive advantage. Working together, Vodafone and AWS are bringing this capability – whether for gaming, AR/VR, visual recognition, robotics, drones – to customers in Europe.



Nokia and AWS are aligning to deliver a new paradigm of 5G Core Network for hyper scalability

Vach Kompella, VP Packet Core, Nokia
5G represents the ultimate convergence of our previous network technologies and applications into a single, multi-purpose, multi-access network. The only way it can handle such diversity is by being completely flexible, scalable, and programmable. To accomplish this it must adopt fully a cloud-native architecture and move beyond the simple virtualization of existing platforms. Innovation in the mobile core will play a significant role in creating a global interconnected fabric that can actually support the full range of exciting applications and services that 5G makes possible. In the sense, Nokia’s implementation of the 5G Core Network on Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) is an inevitable choice to bring hyper-scalability, high-reliability and the best cost-efficiency for the 5G network.



Migrating to a cloud TV platform and paving the way to infinite entertainment

Nick Thexton, CTO, Synamedia

Synamedia’s Infinite is a market-leading cloud TV platform, enabling service providers to securely deliver aggregated linear, SVOD, and cDVR services on all screens. As the industry adapts to changing video consumption behaviors, Synamedia and one of its customers will present a real-world example of a cloud migration, leveraging the latest AWS services to deliver a personalized TV experience on all screens. Join us to discuss challenges and opportunities of deploying a next-generation IPTV OTT Platform in the cloud, and discover how AWS and Synamedia bring market-leading innovation, paving the way to 5G Infinite entertainment.



5G Edge Cloud: A new paradigm for 5G monetization

Thierry Sender, Director of IoT and Real-time Enterprise Product Strategy, Verizon

Global IT decision makers and business executives continue to look for ways to enable applications that are highly resilient and real time in a hyper-scaled manner. This requires more than just compute and storage resources. In fact, this necessitates the network being able to deliver services like software. Learn how the world's premier cloud and 5G network providers have created a new paradigm to deliver cloud based services as an extension of the network which will enable firms and agencies the ability to deliver applications and services that require ultra low latency and ultra high capacity in a highly reliable manner.
