The impact on networking is huge – and happening faster than you think.
The Middle East will be particularly impacted. This McKinsey study highlights the point when operators begin running out of capacity in at least 50% of sites. For Bahrain and UAE, this will be 2022, and for Saudia Arabia, 2023.
And yet the future is evolution vs. revolution. Gartner says that 5G networks may be as much as 10 times more efficient than 4G networks – and yet not even 4G is fully leveraged, nor have investments fully paid off on margin squeeze. The question we must ask: what are the possibilities for that 4G that can manifest itself to reality, both in 4G and 5G as it scales?
Toward a next level of network automation:
Managing networks has also changed for decades: According to Gartner, 75% of organizations still manage networks manually despite the cost and time needed in doing so, the rise of devops, and availability of open source tools that now make it easier for organizations to automate network management tasks.
And yet new norms, technologies and architectures driven by SDN and NFV will save their day. If telco networks want to truly attain the state of operational nirvana, they must aspire to become the legendary Autonomous Network.

Meanwhile, companies are already utilizing cloud to help transform business. Cisco’s Cloud-to-Client Network, Huawei’s All Cloud Network and Nokia’s AirFrame open edge cloud infrastructure for the 5G era are all examples of this. The Open Network Foundation in July 2018 similarly announced it is taking a hard look at edge cloud and 5G initiatives, following from the launch of a new strategic plan in March.

Virtualization: Etisalat for example has initiated number of trials and limited deployments for various aspects of the network to benefit from SDN, NFV and Orchestration, with a strategy of “Whatever can be virtualized will be virtualized”.
