This paper outlines our concept of ‘evolved intent-based networks’ – utilising pervasive intelligence from across an entire communications network to automate configuration that supports a specific set business of requirements. The ability to assure a specific service and experience level offers huge opportunities.

This whitepaper explores the critical role that the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) plays in transforming the network and empowering operators to create and monetise distinctive service propositions. In other words, it’s the RIC that can unlock the true value of the “open” proposition of  Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN).

Private 5G networks promise to deliver huge business advantage. But, where to start if you are an enterprise, carrier or technology supplier considering deployment? This whitepaper is a practical guide to deploying a private 5G network for maximum business impact, including when using CBRS spectrum in the United States.

We have developed an independent view of the potential use cases for Intel’s Link Quality Prediction (LQP) technology. Intel’s Link Quality Prediction (LQP) technology uses machine learning techniques and a rich set of historical and real-time data feeds...

In our O-RAN white paper, we explore how the O-RAN RIC and AI can automate network optimisation, overcoming network complexity and deliver high-performance services 

What are the key technology trends for 2023? A team of Cambridge Consultants innovation experts have taken the sustainability imperative into account. Our team share their thoughts and predictions, partly through the lens of energy and sustainability… 

I have worked at Cambridge Consultants for nine years and while some people would see me as just a passionate software engineer, I’m more than what meets the eye – a sailing enthusiast. 

Increasing demand from enterprises for high performance connectivity has left networks struggling to scale up and handle the levels of configuration required. What if a network could automatically configure itself to deliver and guarantee the level of service required for each use case required by an enterprise?

Open RAN offers a huge opportunity, but to unlock the true value we must streamline the implementation of new suppliers and a disruptive technology. The good news is that a solution is in sight. The RAN intelligent controller (RIC) is the key to enabling true openness, innovation and differentiation.

Watch our webinar, with MobileWorldLive, where we highlighted the benefits that RIC platforms enable, with a focus on improved quality of experience and the creation of services that fuel new applications and revenue growth.

Introducing the ‘empathetic squadron’ – a collaborative force of UAVs with a dynamic hierarchy of command and control, proven as a very effective method across all types of highly complex operations. We believe this model has the capacity to form an operational fleet of UAVs that is far greater than the sum of its individual parts...

Operators are looking for partners to bring outside investment to speed fibre deployment. Could this be a good approach for future 5G deployments? With the rise of private networks and the focus on simplifying deployment, can third parties bring assets as well as cash to the table? Watch our presentation where Paul Beastall, Strategy Director, Cambridge Consultants and Advisory Board Member, UK5G explores the question 'Is there an alternative funding model for 5G'?

Dr Derek Long, Head of Telecoms and Mobile, discusses his keynote at Total Telecom Congress 2021 where he explored how new materials are opening the door to transparent phased array antennas and unlocking a host of new 5G use cases.
