Deutsche Telekom continues 5G push
“The world becomes more and more connected. In future, almost everything will communicate with each other. 5G will provide a further basis for that,” says Bruno Jacobfeuerborn, Chief Technology Officer for Deutsche Telekom and Chairman of the NGMN Board (Next Generation Mobile Networks). “With 5G we create a worldwide standard for homogeneous communication. That means a common global language – because communication has no local borders.”
The fifth generation is expected to be ready for the market by 2020. Data output that is hundreds of time faster, a reaction time of just one millisecond, extreme reliability and further availability will make the age-old demand for a higher transfer rate a thing of the past. The vastly improved performance enables new business models, for instance in the health care and automobile industries, that are not possible today.
A network that is meant to react quicker than a blink of the eye will require the development of a solid integrated infrastructure behind the scenes. Industry trends such as virtualization and software defined networks, which also play a central role in the changing infrastructure at Deutsche Telekom, help with this development by making more performance and flexibility possible.
