Mobile Networks. The UWS 5G Mobile Networks team, led by Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx X. Alcaraz-Calero and Professor Xx Xxxx, is part of the Artificial Intelligence, Visual Communication and Networks (AVCN) centre. This team is at the forefront of the next generation of super-fast mobile streaming. The success and impact of the team is evidenced in the more than 80 research projects at national, European or international levels which they have been involved in. UWS has been leading a consortium as Technical Manager of the 5G-PPP Phase I SELFNET ( 8m) dealing with self-management capabilities for 5G networks to address a range of complex technical challenges in network management, cloud computing, 5G infrastructures and Mobile Edge Computing. We recognize the strategic importance of the team’s work for the University’s research roadmap and in addressing global societal challenges. Accordingly, UWS has already invested £160k over the past three years to build a large-scale data centre with unique capabilities in terms of 5G services, security, softwarization and programmability. The data centre is now fully operational and has allowed the team to continue the success on the leadership of the implementation of 5G in Europe by using its unique capabilities to secure a follow-on 5G-PPP Phase II SliceNet ( 8m) project, also acting as a Technical manager of such consortium composed by large industries such as DellEMC Ireland, Orange France, Orange Romania, Hellenic Telecommunications Organization (OTE) Greece and Altice Labs Portugal, among other key European players. Three research assistants have been hired as a result of the follow-up. The team has been supported through the Vice-Principal’s Fund for the expansion of the 5G Video Lab. The data centre has been designed to accommodate not only cloud architectures but also mobile edge computing and 5G architectures combined with key hardware-acceleration capabilities to allow research on the acceleration of the novel 5G network communications. Research is shifting from cloud architectures to its natural evolution which is sometimes referred to as “Fog Computing” or “Mobile Edge Computing” and this support has enabled the team to cement our position at the forefront of networks research. Key future developments are focusing on the development of a variety of industrially-relevant, and societal-relevant case scenarios that require challenging 5G capabilities, including sustainability and efficiency impacts in smarter power grid control, reduced...
Mobile Networks. We operate both fixed and mobile telecommunications networks. Our mobile networks are based on the 3PP family of standards. We have both GSM and UMTS/HSPA networks, which are the most commonly adopted networks for mobile telecommunications systems worldwide. GSM/GPRS/EDGE are often referred as 2G (second generation) technologies and they are able to support voice, value-added services, lower bandwidth data services and GSM systems allow enhanced roaming capability virtually worldwide. 3G networks support bandwidth-intensive data applications such as full motion video, video conferencing and full internet access to mobile devices. 3G network speeds are increasing dramatically as the network technology evolves. Through the use of HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) and HSPA+ technology, data speeds on 3G networks can reach speeds substantially faster than in 2G networks, depending on the capabilities of the devices and the network. 3G technologies have enabled us to offer our users a wide range of advanced services while achieving greater network capacity through improved spectral efficiency. 3G further enables us to offer new services to our users such as video calls, mobile broadband data, and an improved internet experience with richer mobile content. We have nationwide usufruct rights which allow us to operate our 2G and 3G networks in the 850 MHz, 900 MHz and 2600 MHz spectrum bands in which we hold a total bandwidth of 48 MHz, 12 MHz and 25 MHz, respectively. New regulations came into effect in Guatemala in December 2012 that granted telecommunications operators the right to apply for automatic 20-year extensions of their existing rights. We successfully applied to extend our usufruct rights through December 2032 and December 2033, depending on expiration date of the original usufruct right. Our mobile network architecture includes 13 2G mobile switching centers (MSC & MSSERV), 4 3G/XXXX (MSOFT & ATCAs) and 2 Tandems (MSOFT) geographically distributed to secure traffic balance and service availability to serve over 3,563 2G and 2,855 3G cellular base stations. We estimate that our 2G coverage footprint covers over 87.4% and our 3G footprint covers 60% of the Guatemalan population.
