Happy first birthday Open Gateway. 47 operators, 239 networks. #MWC24

I will arrive with the biggest vehicle to #MWC24 today. Alone. Unfortunately. We have a free shuttle bus service directly from our hotel to Fira, 3 times each morning, well advertised. Despite the hotel being full of MWC participants, this comfortable service is not that popular

Favourite datapoint from #MWC24? 101,527 unique in-person attendees? From 205 countries and territories? You already know that. But, did you know that Fira had 1,760 WiFi access points deployed during MWC?

#GenerativeAI and Non-Real-Time RIC (RAN Intelligent Controller) - two things I often had a discussion about during #MWC24. So, I decided to generate a picture of a "Non-Real-Time RICK" with generative AI. I added an extra "k" to RIC, just to make it more fun. #generativeart

What % of operators' energy consumption is related to RAN? What is the impact of #5G on overall energy efficiency in the short term? How do #Open RAN deployments impact energy efficiency? All answers are in GSMA Intelligence's latest report on energy efficiency👇 t.ly/9coqn

Recently, energy-saving solutions are changing: There is a shift from configuration-based, static and unsynchronised to intent-driven, end-to-end orchestrating functionalities. How can this new layer help drive energy cost savings? Read here 👇 t.ly/gxWsW GSMA Intelligence

Made In North Korea #NorthKorea aims to upgrade the security of its network using home-grown tech. According to experts from a 3-day Pyongyang conference, North Korea's network is vulnerable to security breaches due to its reliance on foreign tech. t.ly/E35AH

#Satellite connectivity and applications have been around for some time, but adoption has been hampered by high pricing and technical complexities. Over the last few years, 3GPP #5G standards have included compatibility for NTN (Non-terrestrial networks) mobileworldlive.com/softbank/softb…

Still 1.1 billion subscribers with basic, 2/3G phones globally. This cloud phone is 4G capable, costs $14, provides a smartphone-lite experience and migrates customers off legacy networks to the data and application world. B2C connectivity-as-a-service. mobileworldlive.com/sub-saharan-af…

Portable #5G CPE with camera, LCD display, microphone and a 25W stereo sounds system. Also, looks great. #MBBF2024 #101loop

To examine the state and outlook for energy use among African operators, we ran a data gathering exercise involving 45 networks in 34 countries. The most comprehensive analysis of energy efficiency, data covers 55% of African connections overall Read it👇 t.ly/x7MQJ
