  • 5G and Edge Computing: Why Does 5G Need Edge? 4G and Edge Will Drive 5G Coverage and Applications
    5G and edge computing: why does 5G need edge? 4G and edge will drive 5G coverage and applications. This would boost service demand and offer growth for telcos at a time when there is still scepticism for the 5G business case Dalia Adib, Edge computing practice lead December 2019 © STL Partners 1 5G and edge computing: why does 5G need edge? 5G and edge computing are two inextricably linked technologies: they are both poised to significantly improve the performance of applications and enable huge amounts of data to be processed in real-time. 5G increases speeds by up to ten times that of 4G, whereas mobile edge computing reduces latency by bringing compute capabilities into the network, closer to the end user. We argue that 5G needs mobile edge computing for two reasons. First, it is inherent in the 5G standards as it is the only way to meet the latency targets that have been set (1ms network latency). Improvements in the radio interface alone will not achieve these. Second, the gradual approach operators are taking to deploy 5G – the 5G go slow cycle – will mean coverage of “full 5G” will be insufficient to cultivate an ecosystem of new applications. However, edge could seed a 5G market even before widespread coverage. What is the 5G go slow cycle? Operators in different markets have diverse approaches towards 5G. research shows operators in the US, China, Korea and Japan are chasing 5G most enthusiastically and back that enthusiasm with real investment. This is characterised by T-Mobile’s CTO Neville Ray: “We are all in on 5G.

    Telenor announces pricing of its offering of 70 million VEON common shares and ADSs Telenor ASA today announces that the underwriters have priced its offering of 70 million common shares in VEON Ltd. (formerly known as VimpelCom Ltd.) in the form of common shares and American Depositary Shares (ADSs) at a public offering price of USD 3.75 per ADS/share, resulting in net proceeds to Telenor of USD 259 million. The offering is expected to close on or about 12 April 2017. Today's transaction represents 4.0 per cent of VEON's total outstanding common shares, leaving Telenor with approximately 346.7 million VEON ADSs (19.7 per cent of VEON's total outstanding common shares), including the VEON ADSs that are underlying Telenor's USD 1 billion, 3-year exchangeable bond due 2019. Citigroup and Morgan Stanley have acted as joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners for the offering. Following the transaction, VEON will no longer be treated as an associated company in Telenor’s financial reporting and all of the previously recognised currency translation differences, amounting to an accounting loss of NOK 7.5 billion, including tax effects related to the hedging instruments, will be reclassified to the income statement.
