5G
Engagement models emerging between the system integrators and CSPs
1 . THE SI PRIME MODEL :
5G private networks the future of enterprise As telecoms are beginning to adopt professional system integrators to efficiently integrate network security and network monitoring solutions within their existing network infrastructure , professional system integrators facilitate the telecom industry by reducing the risks associated with integration and offering stability to the network infrastructure .
This transition includes the migration from a wired to a wireless network , IPv4 ( 32 Bit ) to IPv6 ( 128 Bit and more compatible for mobile ), and the evolution of 5G .
Bhandari suggests there ’ s a “ growing need for telcos to go beyond offering commoditised voice and data services to add new revenue streams and provide digital experiences to their customers .”
Edge computing enabled by 5G is , he argues , a “ perfect opportunity for communications
The first model is where the telco works closely with a systems integrator for rolling out new services — both bring complementary capabilities and decide who leads the engagement in a specific market ( usually the system integrator ).
2 . THE TELCO PRIME MODEL :
Second is where the telco leads the market rolling out new services , with System Integrator playing a secondary partner with no / limited visibility to customers .
3 . THE SOLO MODEL :
The third is where the telco is building and using in-house capability without the need for a systems integrator . This would call for complete overhaul of their business model ( which has already been perfected by the System integrators ) to deliver profitability .
