INTRODUCTION
The network of macro- and small-cell base stations with edge computing capabilities that are necessary for the operation of the fifth generation technology standard for cellular networks is referred to as 5G infrastructure.
Big data streams that power applications like IoT devices, semi-autonomous vehicles, and augmented reality can be covered by 5G infrastructure with low latency.
The 5G network infrastructure includes of standalone 5G infrastructures, which link to 5G New Radio (NR) technology using their own cloud-native network core, and non-standalone (NSA) infrastructures, which still rely on some of the 4G LTE equipment that is already in place.
The NSA strategy employs a combination of the 5G Radio Access Network (RAN), 5G NR interface, and the current LTE infrastructure and core network to deliver a 5G-like experience until network carriers are able to build up the independent infrastructure required for 5G.
User equipment, including the RAN and NR interface, and the 5G core network, which is based on a service-based architecture framework with virtualized network services, make up a standalone 5G deployment.
Network operations that are typically performed by hardware are virtualized and performed by software.
The Global 5G Infrastructure Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The transformation is being driven by a variety of products and solutions that Intel disclosed, as well as wide industry support from top operators, OEMs, and independent software vendors (ISVs).
As the company that drives the majority of the world’s clouds, networks, and businesses, Intel has a unique perspective on where to position compute and acceleration throughout the whole cloud-to-edge continuum. This expertise allows us to help our clients scale to meet user needs.
Intel is the platform of choice for our customers to modernise and monetize their networks of the future today thanks to the advancements made in 4th Gen Intel Xeon platforms, which nearly double the 5G core UPF throughput5, nearly double the vRAN performance1, and accelerate the deployment of a wide range of network, security, and enterprise edge services.
Mobile networks are changing from fixed function, hardware-based silicon and infrastructure to software-based, fully virtualized platforms operating on general-purpose processors as a result of the demand for high-performance, scalable, adaptable, and energy-efficient systems.
Accelerating RAN virtualization enables communications service providers (CoSPs) to better meet future demands while RAN energy efficiency is improved and total cost of ownership (TCO) is decreased.
The 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with Intel vRAN Boost were introduced by Intel with broad industry support from companies like Advantech, Capgemini, Canonical, Dell Technologies, Ericsson, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Mavenir, Quanta Cloud Technology, Rakuten Mobile, Red Hat, SuperMicro, Telefonica, Verizon, VMware, Vodafone, and Wind River, among others.
Beyond the already exceptional performance-per-watt gain of the 4th Gen Intel Xeon platform, Intel is delivering 2x the capacity gains gen over gen within the same power envelope1 and up to an additional 20% power savings with integrated acceleration by fully integrating vRAN acceleration into the Intel Xeon system-on-chip (SoC) and removing the need for an external accelerator card.
Intel anticipates that the performance-per-watt of the top Layer 1 SoC accelerator cards on the market will be equaled or surpassed by 4th Gen Xeon Scalable processors with Intel vRAN Boost, while also delivering the advantages of software-defined, virtualized networks.
With open solutions for problems like performance, TCO, power efficiency, security, and lack of visibility across the network stack, Intel is driving the transition of the network’s core to cloud-native, service-based architectures. 5G core networks will be able to work harder and smarter to strike a balance between crucial business and customer needs for power economy, performance, and latency thanks to Intel’s hardware and software solutions.
With Samsung’s additional validation, Intel’s 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors now provide the industry’s first 1 Tbps of performance for the 5G UPF workload within a single dual-socket server, further assisting network operators in modernising their networks and lowering their total cost of ownership (TCO) at the 5G core.
Additionally, without compromising important performance measures like throughput, latency, and packet drop, the new Intel Infrastructure Power Manager for 5G Core reference software dynamically aligns run-time server power consumption with data traffic.
By making it easier for ISVs and operators to access critical features in Intel’s 3rd and 4th Gen Xeon Scalable processors, such as power telemetry, granular power control states, and low-latency frequency change, the software significantly reduces time-to-market for ISVs and operators.
Operators can realise millions of dollars in potential savings and a sizable quantity of CO2 emissions offset by using the reference software to lower network TCO and quicken the process of moving towards net zero emissions targets.
In order to power cloud-based autonomous mobility robots that will be utilised to provide services, such as coffee delivery, to employees across the building, Samsung’s network solutions are supporting Naver’s private 5G commercial service.
While offering its public cloud services, Naver Cloud Platform, to numerous businesses and organisations across a variety of industries, Naver Cloud manages the worldwide IT infrastructure and enterprise solution services for Naver and its subsidiaries.
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a private 5G network collaboration was signed by Samsung Electronics and Naver Cloud. In order to build up private 5G networks for businesses using Samsung’s private 5G network solutions and Naver’s cloud technology, the firms will continue to collaborate to develop new business models and use cases.
The new Naver headquarters is a testing ground for emerging technologies, where 5G networks and the cloud are key components. Will continue to create new private 5G network business models alongside Samsung and work together to support more businesses in undergoing digital transformation through the use of cloud technologies.
With Samsung and Naver technology combined, Naver’s autonomous mobile robot services present a private 5G use case. The robots act as employees’ personal assistants, assisting with tasks like delivering goods, coffee and lunches to staff members all across the facility. The corporate headquarters already has robots that move between levels, and future plans call for hundreds of robots to do the same.
According to Samsung, the robot, called Rookie, uses the cloud as a shared brain rather than a built-in chipset. In order for the cloud to operate and support robots in real-time and for them to be smarter together, the network vendor, the private 5G network functions as a neural network that connects the robots and the cloud.
In addition, by establishing a virtual environment that closely resembles the real world, cutting-edge technologies like digital twins, 3D/HD mapping, and AI are used to assist robots in learning to navigate the building.
Samsung’s Compact Core and 5G radios supporting spectrum, which are designated for private 5G networks in Korea, are the commercial private 5G solutions powering Naver’s app. They are utilising New Radio-Dual Connectivity, which enables equipment or end users to connect to both millimetre wave and mid-band technology at the same time.
Naver emphasises the innovative ways we foster corporate innovation through upcoming technological convergence. Naver will help us implement our concept for a private 5G network successfully. Samsung will continue to collaborate with businesses and government organisations to create a variety of application cases for SOC facilities, hospitals, schools, and transit networks.
According to Samsung, the successful delivery of 5G end-to-end solutions, including chipsets, radios, and core, was pioneered by the company.
