The telecommunications industry is characterized by an extraordinary openness to innovation. Each new technological solution is an opportunity to offer customers new functionalities. Currently, one of the leading trends is the use of the 5G standard - a truly future-proof solution that changes the shape of telecommunications services to an unprecedented extent.
The Benefits of 5G Technology
The main advantage of 5G technology is what should be the core of network solutions - a high-speed connection. It significantly accelerates data transfer compared to the predecessors and uses available radio frequencies more efficiently. However, these are not the only advantages of 5G technology. An option that appeared with the creation of this solution is also the so-called network slicing.
What Is Network Slicing?
The concept of network slicing is revolutionary. It allows you to create logical and virtual networks quickly and effortlessly. This process is based on one physical technical infrastructure. What benefits does it give? First of all, it allows you to reduce the number of problems that arise during network building. With the advent of 5G and network slicing, there is no need to compromise between different application requirements. In order to achieve high efficiency, network slicing can use artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Support Systems
Innovations that help operators use 5G telecom solutions are OSS (Operations Support System) and BSS (Business Support System). Although they usually work closely together, they are separate systems responsible for different areas. While OSS handles the telecommunications network on the company side, BSS does it on the customer side. With OSS, company employees can monitor the network and perform activities such as inventory, configuration, and scheduling. It is also useful for managing the system in emergency situations. In turn, BSS streamlines customer service activities such as invoicing, order fulfillment, subscriptions and marketing. A part of these activities is the use of the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system.
Comarch and 5G Technology
Comarch is a company that specializes in providing its customers with solutions related to the 5G network. While performing its services, it uses an effective platform based on 3GPP standards. It increases the availability and possibilities in the field of monitoring or inventory. In its activities, Comarch is supported by the use of artificial intelligence, e.g. in intent-driven solutions.
LG - a Case Study of 5G Integration Support
A great example of a project implemented by Comarch is the cooperation with the Korean company LG - one of the world leaders in the field of telecommunications technologies. This cooperation involved, among other things, a significant transformation of the Operations Support System. The introduction of the new system enabled the use of innovative options not available in the previous version. Comarch solved the problems that appeared in LG both on the side of the company and the client. Collaboration aimed at improving the situation resulted in, among others, lower maintenance costs, higher level of automation and better integration of individual functions. Thanks to this, LG telecommunications technology has been fully integrated with the 5G network. Today its customers can take advantage of the best possibilities offered by this solution and enjoy the highest standard of fast data transfer.
