5G
“ In the B2B market , it seems fairly clear that we ’ re going to see a growth in private mobile networks constructed by operators for specific companies and purposes , whether this be shipping ports , fulfilment centres or other large-scale operations ,” predicts Newman . “ CSPs will decide the extent to which they utilise the possibilities of 5G to partner with MSPs in providing end-to-end IT and network solutions for businesses . Partnership with public cloud and other growing work technologies could provide enormous revenue for CSPs in the coming years .”
For Venturini , the cooperative relationship between operators and cloud will be the defining feature of the edge in the 5G era . “ It just remains to be seen on whose terms that cooperation takes place ,” he muses . “ The granularity and capillarity of 5G networks , and the real estate that operators now control cannot be easily replicated , which means that these operators have a lot more bargaining power now versus in the past .”
