That means 5G (or Metro Ethernet/GPON, but those networks don't have the bandwidth and latency limitations of cellular, plus the last thing they want is to reduce dependency on the network which would reduce the pressure to upgrade).<br /><br />Users and customers don't care about the network except when it breaks, they care about applications, and in the consumer world of WiFi that generally means cloud-hosted, while enterprises are perfectly able to manage their own applications but are also increasingly willing to move to the cloud as well. For home networks, there is a small niche in self-hosted apps like video or music streaming (Plex, Roon), local backups, home automation, security (Pi-Hole) and so on, and the most likely target for deployment will be either a NAS or as an app running on an always-on PC. The lack of any standard for packaging and deploying these self-hosted apps fragments and hinders the market, even if Docker has made things a little bit easier.Fazal Majidhttps://majid.info/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500930.post-65493262742706283462021-04-14T08:00:31.633+01:002021-04-14T08:00:31.633+01:00Nice post!!

At the same time there is a gap in terms of service (connectivity) coverage in Enterprises, Emerging markets and/or untapped segments. An unfortunate push to transformation came due to COVID-19 and this is something I see can drive telco investments. Ofcourse not really 5G but with existing tech itself with a roadmap to 5G in 3-4 years.

Currently, I'm very optimistic about 5G takeup based on remarkable enthusiasm in China and Korea. The phone price is down to $536 in China and falling. But my predictions are unproven, and many issues can hold things back, especially in Europe.<br />The trillion-dollar returns from 5G are fantasies, as you and every engineer knows. When you look at the details, nearly all the advances called "5G" work fine in 4G. 5G capacity is important for the business of telecom. It is somewhat better than good 4G, but not enough to produce a major impact on what people will do on the Internet.Dave Bursteinhttp://wirelessone.newsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500930.post-76492040151204827382019-03-20T05:07:24.704+00:002019-03-20T05:07:24.704+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Ener-jbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589403999860416173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500930.post-50136780768341630802019-02-08T12:39:53.133+00:002019-02-08T12:39:53.133+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Praylin Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00460740794925096442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500930.post-38801733935893850442019-02-06T09:56:18.313+00:002019-02-06T09:56:18.313+00:00I mention in the text that this analysis excludes ...I mention in the text that this analysis excludes on-device or gateway edge compute. <br /><br />It's something I covered in depth in my previous post & conference presentations on overall presentation of compute power - basically it will look like a dumb-bell, with a big chunk of processing & storage on-device or nearby, an even larger chunk in hyperscale cloud, and a thin bit in the middle connecting them (ie in-network and small edge DCs)<br /><br />And I mostly agree that carriers won't touch much on-prem edge compute, except maybe where it's in set-top boxes or managed access gateways.<br /><br />However, most of that on-prem compute will still use various cloud-based functions as well, eg for analytics, developer tools & 3rd-party appps etc. It won't be purely offline in most casesDean Bubleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719150957239368264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500930.post-60931260847971643592019-02-05T22:38:59.616+00:002019-02-05T22:38:59.616+00:00Last June standards were ratified paving the way f...Last June standards were ratified paving the way for SD cards that can store 125 terabytes of information. Let's assume they'll be in the market in 3 years for under $200.<br /><br />I think your analysis misses the fact that there will be entirely new supply/demand models that will be almost 100% local in nature: to wit smart-retail, smart buildings, tele-medicine, tele-education. No need to up/downstream traffic over distances for a host of reasons.<br /><br />And these will have nothing to do with carriers; in fact it is almost 100% certain that the carriers WILL NOT participate in these local markets.<br /><br />Lastly, I think edge is simply opposite of core; whatever core might be. From a technical perspective, there will always be trade-offs between layers 1, 2 and 3, with regards to storage and processing depending on density and type of traffic. Core and edge are mutually inter-dependent.

I believe that the goal with Edge compute is scale and autonomy.<br />- The more data collected, the more power is needed to process it. So while you're showing the power consumed by each device it doesn't take into account the data quantity that each device generates and the fundamental need to process the data centrally (ok, you say that solutions such as greengrass could catch on to some extent for scale)<br />- Data / privacy regulations need to be taken into account (e.g. national sovereignty, GDPR etc) and these can skew the numbers a bit in your model.<br /><br />Anyway, it's an interesting way to look at things but I have many doubts that we could get to the number of edge compute locations listed in your rough calculation in the 2023 timeframe. Physical and logical security of those locations also need to be taken into account significantly once data is processed and stored in them.<br />Paul Bnoreply@blogger.com
