True 5G is just around the corner: Tokyo Tech and Rakuten Mobile

AUGUST 3, 2021

After years of exciting headlines, "true 5G" may finally be upon us.

On July 4, Rakuten Mobile successfully verified data transfer on a 5G standalone (5G SA) mobile network with collaboration from Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech), on the grounds of the university’s Ookayama campus in southern Tokyo.

"Standalone" 5G: What’s the big deal?

The imminent age of 5G has been heralded in industry headlines for several years now, and many mobile carriers around the globe - including Rakuten Mobile -  have already launched their 5G services. So what exactly was Rakuten Mobile verifying?

MANY OF THE EXCITING HEADLINES SURROUNDING 5G AND ITS FUTURISTIC POTENTIAL HINGE ON THIS HOLISTIC APPROACH. PERFORMING REMOTE SURGERY, FOR EXAMPLE, REQUIRES THE ULTRA-LOW-LATENCY ONLY POSSIBLE ON A STANDALONE 5G NETWORK.

The word "standalone" gives most of the game away. Most of the 5G services that have been deployed around the world to date are "non-standalone," essentially 5G base stations connected to a 4G network. A standalone 5G network, meanwhile, is built with 5G technology throughout, from the core network to the radio access network (RAN).

With the overwhelming majority of the world’s networks still running on 4G architecture, this transitionary step of employing 5G tech on top of existing networks is an essential one. By doing so, carriers can offer next-gen speeds while leveraging existing infrastructure as they prepare to transition the rest of their network to standalone 5G.

But if tacking 5G tech onto 4G architecture can produce such great speeds, why is standalone 5G necessary at all? The answer to this question lies in the fact that 5G isn't just about pure speed.

While 5G NSA can provide excellent upgrades to a network's speed, it can't take full advantage of the high capacity, low latency and massive multi-connectivity that 5G can realize. In order to do this, everything from the core network outwards needs to be built around 5G.

Many of the exciting headlines surrounding 5G and its futuristic potential hinge on this holistic approach. Performing remote surgery, for example, requires the ultra-low-latency only possible on a standalone 5G network. Meanwhile, IoT applications are demanding more and more connections to work with more and more devices - another capability of standalone 5G.

Pushing new boundaries, setting new standards

Through collaboration between Tokyo Tech and Rakuten Mobile, data transmission was carried out using a 5G SA-compatible device on the 5G network at the campus, verifying the stable operation of 5G SA. Rakuten Mobile will leverage the results of the verification to improve the quality of its 5G SA network and in preparations for the full launch of commercial services.

The work is part of the initiatives commissioned by Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Development Organization (NEDO) to Rakuten Mobile under the research theme of "developing post-5G information communications systems." For these projects, the operator is carrying out technical development related to the enhancement of virtualized RAN for 5G networks and the automation of network operations.

The Rakuten Mobile team has trials of cutting-edge mobile technologies planned for the near future. Network slicing, for example, allows single network connections to be split into multiple virtual connections through network virtualization, so that different capacities can be assigned for different types of traffic. Edge computing - in which processing is carried out close to the user (on the “edge” of the network) for low latency -  is also on the team's radar.

Rakuten Mobile has built its network architecture with an eye to the age of 5G and beyond. With the successful verification of 5G SA data transmission under its belt and the deployment of 5G SA functions in parts of its commercial network underway, the age of "true 5G" is looking closer than ever.

Rakuten schnappt sich 5G-Virtalisierungs-Softwareanbieter Altiostar für eine Mrd. US-Dollar

Mobilfunknetze

Mittwoch, 4. August 2021 um 14:39

TOKIO (IT-Times) - Der japanische E-Commerce Konzern Rakuten hat heute eine weitere Akquisition angekündigt und erwirbt das US-Mobilfunk-Software-Unternehmen Altiostar in einer Milliardentransaktion.

https://www.it-times.de/news/...ostar-fuer-eine-mrd-us-dollar-139580/

 

Rakuten hat für die Übernahmen nicht eine Milliarde Dollar bezahlen müssen, sondern  war schon - wie Ihr den vorangegangen Postings entnehmen könnt - Mehrheitsaktionär.

Und da - wie Ihr auch den vorgegangen Postings entnehmen konntet - durch die Neubewertung bei der Übernahme für Rakuten ein Gewinn von 59 billion Yen = ca. 540 Millionen Dollar entstand, leite ich daraus bei einer momentanen Bewertung von 1 Milliarde Dollar ab, dass Rakuten schon ca. 70% besessen haben dürfte. Daher dürften nur ca. 300 Millionen Cash geflossen sein.

Rakuten Acquires Altiostar to Boost Open RAN Efforts

Dan Meyer | Editor-in-Chiefan hour ago

Japan’s Rakuten Group scooped up U.S.-based open radio access (RAN) network equipment provider Altiostar for more than $1 billion. The move expands on an already established financial partnership between the two companies and bolsters Rakuten’s internal work toward creating an open RAN ecosystem.

The deal brings Altiostar under Rakuten’s umbrella that is perched on top of its Rakuten Mobile operations. The Japanese operator launched the first greenfield, fully virtualized open RAN network at scale to support 4G LTE in April 2020, and added 5G support last September. Altiostar played a role in the 5G upgrade that included a container-based, cloud-native 5G RAN.

Altiostar is also working with Airtel in India, Dish Network in the United States, and Telefonica in Europe and Latin America.

https://www.sdxcentral.com/articles/news/...open-ran-efforts/2021/08/  

Following the acquisition, Rakuten plans for Altiostar to remain headquartered in the US with Dahod continuing to lead the business while also taking a role in its RCP unit.

Software focus

Head of GSMA Intelligence Peter Jarich noted Altiostar had “differentiated itself from some other open RAN players” through a “tight focus on software”.

“This aligns well with Rakuten’s RCP plans, giving it more control over yet another network function it can offer to other operators or enterprises.”

“Of course, the fact that Rakuten has invested in, and has been working closely with, Altiostar suggests that it knows well what the vendor can offer and has faith in the offer going forward.”

Probably 70-plus operators that are considering deployment of Open RAN

According to Rakuten, Altiostar CEO Ashraf Dahod will continue in his role and take on a position within Rakuten Communications Platform. Altiostar will maintain its headquarters in Tewksbury, Massachusetts.

Dahod said the acquisition “will allows us to build on our foundation and accelerate our technology development to help operators innovate, explore new business models and bring affordable broadband to the masses through webscale mobile networks.”

In a wide-ranging conversation at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Altiostar EVP Thierry Maupile laid out three dimensions of Open RAN: the move from greenfield to brownfield networks; the ongoing collaborative, ecosystem-based R&D work; and the proliferation of private 5G networks tuned to the particular needs of enterprises.

As Maupile told RCR Wireless News, “We know that there are probably 70-plus operators that are considering deployment of Open RAN. We are focusing. It’s a matter of scale now.”

Fourth network operator: 1 & 1 is building its mobile network with Rakuten and Open RAN

Published by: MRT

Published on: August 4, 2021

1 & 1 will build its German cellular network on the basis of the Open RAN standard and rely on the Rakuten Group, which already operates such a network in Japan. As the general contractor, Rakuten will be responsible for setting up and operating the 1 & 1 network, the company announced in Maintal on Wednesday. “With Rakuten we have the world’s only Open RAN expert at our side who really has extensive practical experience with this new technology,” said 1 & 1 CEO Ralph Dommermuth.

United Internet subsidiary 1 & 1 bought part of the spectrum at the auction of 5G frequencies in summer 2019 and thus prepared its market entry as the fourth network operator. After concluding a roaming agreement with Telefónica Deutschland, the establishment of its own network is now imminent. This should begin in the “next quarter”, it said.

Gemeinsam mit Rakuten wird 1&1 das europaweit erste vollständig virtualisierte Mobilfunknetz auf Basis der OpenRAN-Technologie bauen.

Statt das Netz nur mit Technik von einem einzigen Netzausrüster zu nutzen, handelt es sich bei OpenRAN um einen offenen Standard und wie bei 1&1 einer vollständig cloud-basierten herstellerunabhängigen Netzarchitektur. Sämtliche Netzfunktionen liegen in der Cloud und werden per Software gesteuert. Umrüstungen oder Wartungen an den Basisstationen der Antennen sind nach Angaben von 1&1 obsolet und können durch Software-Aktualisierungen durchgeführt werden.

Für das Kernnetz sind vier zentrale Rechenzentren vorgesehen. Daran werden etwa 500 dezentraler Rechenzentren in ganz Deutschland angeschlossen, die wiederum per Glasfaser mit den Antennenstandorten verbunden werden. Rechenzentren und Glasfaserleitungen stellt die Schwestergesellschaft 1&1 Versatel bereit.

Rakuten hat im April 2020 als Neueinsteiger in Japan das weltweit erste kommerzielle vollständig virtualisierte OpenRAN-Mobilfunknetz gestartet. Von dieser Erfahrung und Expertise wird 1&1 nun profitieren. Die Japaner sollen die Installation des aktiven Netzequipments übernehmen. Rakuten zeichnet auch für die Gesamt-Performance des 1&1 Mobilfunknetzes verantwortlich, teilte 1&1 mit. 1&1 wird Zugriff auf die Steuerungsplattform haben. Nach Medienberichten überweist 1&1 den Japanern in den nächsten zehn Jahren für die Arbeit als Generalunternehmer zwischen 1,9 und 2,3 Milliarden Euro.
