URLLC, slicing and MEC capabilities feature the most in 5G SA operator announcements

Released
SEPTEMBER 2022

As of the end of August 2022, 28 operators had commercially launched 5G standalone (5G SA) in some or all of their 5G networks, while a further 94 had announced firm plans to do so. With 5G SA momentum set to gather pace, we took the opportunity to review what network capabilities or use cases operators highlight the most when they make public announcements on 5G SA network deployments. We reviewed the announcements of over half of the 5G SA operators to identify several clear trends, with a surprising lack of emphasis in some areas.

Internet of things (IoT)

The benefits of quantum computing come from the order-of-magnitude increase in computational power compared to conventional computers. This enables a range of use cases from predictive analytics to pharmaceutical simulations. However, there are also risks, primarily related to security vulnerabilities. Overall, we estimate around 8% of IoT devices currently in active use are quantum safe. Conversely, over 90% (i.e. nearly all) of IoT devices are exposed. The exposure risk for telcos comes at multiple levels, including networks, billing systems, consumer devices and IoT. The focus in this report is on the IoT dimension because it represents the largest universe of devices, is highly disparate and is particularly open to security risks due to the ageing nature of many assets deployed today.
