2016 was a crucial year for the telecommunication industry. We saw infrastructure improvement in both mobile and broadband platforms. Operators looked tirelessly for fresh techniques to create a continuous connection between apps and services produced by new technologies and to improve video streaming. As we begin 2017, telecom experts will try their best to continue with the amazing trends in telecommunication.
5G and its place in the market
The race for 5G was hot in 2016, and this trend is expected to continue this year. Google, Uber, and Ford have already established their blueprints. We expect most of these companies to initiate their field tests this year. 2017 will see the first wave of 5G architectural attempts. It will witness the initial stages of commercial offers launched amidst widespread testing of the technology. For instance, most developers will focus on improving the level of access to the database. Expect significant changes such a 1GB access to 10GB or 10GB to 100GB. Such improvements will allow a smooth transition from 4G to 5G networks.
Value-added services and how to market them
Over-the-top service will be a hot area this year. OTT will be highly favored, especially with the growth of live streaming and increasing demand for non-linear media consumption by the public. The growth of OTT in 2017 will place a lot of financial and infrastructure pressure on network operators. Most telecommunication service providers will partner with each other in order to become primary OTT solution experts. This will see an increase in net profits. They will also be in a position to offset the downward price pressures easily.
