An initial perspective on the future of connectivity by Hossein Moiin, EVP and CTO at Nokia Networks. This is the starting point for the global future agenda discussions taking place through 2015 as part of the the futureagenda2.0 programme. www.futureagenda.org

2. Context
This
ini.al
perspec.ve
on
the
Future
of
Connec.vity
kicks
off
the
Future
Agenda
2.0
global
discussions
that
are
taking
place
through
2015.
It
is
an
ini.al
view
to
be
shared,
challenged,
built
upon
and
enhanced.

3. Giga
Growth
By
2025
mobile
networks
will
need
to
support
up
to
10,000x
more
capacity,
using
much
wider
range
of
spectrum
bands
-­‐
and
deliver
100x
faster
speeds,
100x
more
efficiently
-­‐
while
also
reducing
latency
to
milliseconds.

4. Op.mal
Experience
Demand
growth
will
be
driven
by
new
data
apps,
device
types
and
connected
objects
all
sharing
the
same
network.
Every
user
-­‐
human,
machine
or
object
-­‐
will
expect
a
personalised
and
consistent
experience
across
all
touch
points.

5. Everything
Connected
By
2025,
>50
billion
objects
and
>1
trillion
sensors
will
be
connected
to
networks
–
many
of
which
are
mobile.
These
generate
diverse
use-­‐cases
from
mul.-­‐cast
/
broadcast
of
live
video
feeds
across
mul.ple
areas
of
applica.on.

6. Tes.ng
the
Limits
Most
digital
informa.on
will
be
stored
in
the
cloud
with
users
expec.ng
instant
access
anywhere
any.me
–
tes.ng
the
physical
limits
of
networks.
Networks
will
have
to
become
programmable
to
create
capacity
on
demand.

7. Cogni.ve
Networks
In
using
big-­‐data
analy.cs
and
machine
learning,
networks
become
cogni.ve
enough
to
operate
themselves
at
the
most
op.mal
cost
-­‐
while
understanding
user’s
needs
and
automa.cally
delivering
the
best
experience
in
real-­‐.me.

8. Shared
Business
Models
To
reduce
costs,
connec.vity
providers
increasingly
share
hardware,
soware
and
spectral
resources
and
collaborate
more
widely.
Cloud
and
cogni.ve
networks
drive
innova.ve
business
models
for
mone.zing
the
network.

9. 5G
Era
The
5G
era
encompasses
Gbps
mobile
broadband
but
evolves
to
an
op.msied
architecture
that
integrates
mul.ple
fixed
and
wireless
networks
and
supports
flexible
spectrum
usage
with
high
spectral
efficiency.

10. Tac.le
Performance
New
use-­‐cases
demand
tac.le
responses
from
the
network.
Latency
can
be
made
impercep.ble
only
by
reducing
the
physical
distance
between
devices
and
the
content
they
are
accessing
as
the
speed
of
light
is
constant.

11. Security
and
Privacy
by
Design
The
trust
of
users
is
fragile
and
can
only
be
sustained
by
embedding
privacy
and
security
in
products
and
processes
to
provide
transparency,
choice
and
individual
par.cipa.on.
