- 7. Why NFV?
- 8. Business case for NFV Declining ARPU OTT Age Agile Service Deployment Average revenue per user (ARPU) is under increasing pressure due to competition and high user acquisition cost Voice, video, messaging and other enriched services are now offered by the Over-the-top Applications Newer service deployment or existing service evolution is required at much faster pace and agility
- 9. How can mobile operators navigate the massive technology shifts that are challenging their traditional role in the Wireless ecosystem? How can Mobile Operators stay relevant? 1G 2G 3G 4G 5G 1981 1992 2001 2010 2020(?) 2 Kbps 64 Kbps 2 Mbps 100 Mbps 10 Gbps Basic voice service using analog protocols Designed primarily for voice using the digital standards (GSM/CDMA) First mobile broadband utilizing IP protocols (WCDMA/CDMA2 000) True mobile broadband on a unified standard (LTE) ‘Tactile Internet’ with service- aware devices and fiber-like speeds ?
- 10. Initial Phases of Network Evolution The Network was the Service OTT Players Introduced Messaging and VoIP to Broadband Markets LTE and Mobile Broadband Extended these Services to Mobile
- 11. Web 2.0 Phase of Network Evolution MNO Innovation is Slow LTE led to VoLTE which brought IP and IMS to the Core However Innovation is Occurring Web 2.0
- 12. Next Generation Evolution Services Driven Not Just Faster Broadband Speeds • Dynamic • Programmable • Automated 5G NFV + SDN
- 13. Benefits of NFV Service rollouts and provisioning is faster as it’s software centric as opposed to hardware Revenue Growth Agile delivery allows for resources to be scaled-in and out to match the consumer demand in real-time Improved QoE Operational task such as infrastructure layout, network rollouts, appliance provisioning are all obviated and replaced with automation framework. This results in reduced OPEX overtime. Reduced Opex Hardware resources are tied to service needs as opposed to vendors. This allows for better resource utilization. Reduced Capex
- 15. Evolutionary Stages in NFV Independence No special hardware requirement Network function works on IA COTS Hardware Virtualize Manual Scaling to meet network demand Network function works on hypervisor driven environment to access virtualized infrastructure. Limited elasticity. VNF Dynamic elasticity, VM migration Network function aligns with agile service creation principles. Elasticity and life cycle management under control of MANO layer Decompose Granular control over function – open APIs for integration Network function decomposed to independently scalable micro- elements with open interfaces for integration with NFVI Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4
