Please shed some light on security practices for a safe 5G environment.
Security should be built-in to any 5G project and not introduced as an afterthought. For example, for connected cars, data integrity and identity management are critical. Similarly, for massive IoT<\/a> use cases, the sensors etc. should be actively secured because, if compromised, they can start attacking the operators’ critical infrastructure. With the promise of massive scale and enormous speeds, operators must consider using automated defenses, leveraging machine learning and even AI.
How A10 is preparing for the 5G market?
A10 is laser focused on 5G. We understand the challenges network operators are facing and have invested heavily in solving some of these challenges. We are partnered with some of the other key technology providers and have a comprehensive roadmap to address emerging challenges. Our early bets on 5G adoption are paying off as we have won multiple pilot projects and are best positioned to address the market needs.
What are the opportunities for the enterprise segment when it comes to 5G?
Enterprises have massive opportunities with 5G. Perhaps the most well understood is the industrial automation, through massive IoT, enabling smart factories. Coupled with ultra-reliable and low latency networks, these factories can not only be monitored, but also controlled and automated through local or remote personnel; even AI. Connected healthcare is another example, where emergency surgeries can be performed remotely, and even providing surgeons with real-time haptic feedback. Similarly, remote diagnostics will be much easier as well. AR and VR have multiple consumer applications but enterprises can also greatly benefit from lower latency, aiding in remote meetings.
Is the investment and infrastructure for 4G viable to support 5G?
Operators can take an evolutionary approach to go to 5G and, while new investment is required to go from 4G to 5G, this can be done in steps. Operators can focus on some areas and monetize it before they invest in another area. The various infrastructure segments of interest which needs investment are new frequency spectrums for urban areas, new RAN infrastructure to support high speeds in a dense environment, upgradation of core network and features to support agility and slicing. Investment in each area comes with its own benefits and opens up new use cases, thus enabling operators to choose and prioritize one over the other.
How will 5G enable new use cases?
5G will touch multiple areas and will highlight new use cases, opening up new revenue opportunities. For example, the enhanced broadband is well understood, where data rates can be as high as 10Gbps, and it will reduce costs for last mile internet delivery. Another area 5G is focusing on is ultra-reliable and low latency networks. This will open up use cases for driverless cars as well as industrial automation through remote monitoring. Tactile internet, where real-time haptic feedback will enable the feel of touch and will help in a better, more realistic AR, VR and remote surgery experience. Finally, 5G also promises very high density of connected devices thus it will be much easier to establish smart cities with each car, bus, parking spot, traffic signal as well as each door, elevator and lightbulb connected to the internet and monitored for efficiency and security.
