Veja como você pode ficar à frente das tendências emergentes em Sistemas de Telecomunicações para oportunidades futuras.

To me the best way to look for upcoming market trends or future opportunities has always been the same: listen to people. Meet with your existing customers: if you have their trust, they will at times be sharing their ideas of new possible projects. Some of them may be more knowledgeable (or just smarter) than you, and such discussions may give you the right directions to things like a new product or service. This is one of the main reasons why I still travel across the world to international conferences: they offer a relatively convenient way to meet a variety of people in one location. And yes, this still works - keep your ears open, and don't forget to act when you hear something promising.

One of the most helpful ways I keep up is by talking to people in my network, attending webinars and experience. The technicians who work for the 5G service providers are quick to point out differences between vendor equipment and installation requirements. I learn what has changed from engineers and contractors actually dong the work. I also learn what the equipment looks like and the space it takes by auditing sites for the service providers. As a build PM you have access to all the documentation and meeting invites. You have to understand every aspect of the site you are managing. Tower loading, tower space, cabling and antenna design, power requirements and heat dissipation all factor in. Learning comes with experience.

From my experience we identify 10 key building block for 5G: Evolving RATs, Small cell, SON, MTC, mm-wave, Backhaul, EE, New spectrum, Spectrum sharing and RAN virtualization. So it’s a gem of 5G system architecure.

Understanding 5G's capabilities and limitations is crucial. While 5G and 4G share common features, particularly in the Radio Access Network (RAN), 5G offers significant improvements (not to mention the new features and applications enabled by the new 5GC). Key advancements include enhanced data rates through massive MIMO and new frequency bands, especially in the millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum. These higher frequencies provide larger bandwidths for faster data transmission but have shorter ranges, affecting coverage. Another major improvement is new subcarrier spacing options, allowing lower latencies. This is critical for real-time data processing in applications like autonomous driving, remote surgery, and industrial automation.

When it comes to securing wireless communication networks and devices it's not only about good encryption, firewalls and IDS. Although all these are important, we tend to forget that we are dealing with wireless signals which travel in thin air, making them susceptible to a multitude of attacks. This is also true for 5G networks and devices despite the introduction of new security mechanisms (ie. the new SUCI Concealed Identifier, SEPP proxy etc.) Threats at the intersection between the cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum. This is the Cyber Electromagnetic domain. We are just scratching the surface here. Telecom Networks are not as secure as you may think.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to improve signal processing systems for various real-world signals, such as biomedical and audio. You can use MATLAB products to interactively explore, create, and preprocess data, engineer features, build AI models, and deploy AI systems.AI and machine learning algorithms can detect anomalies in real-time, effectively reducing telecom-related fraudulent activities, such as unauthorized network access and fake profiles. The system can automatically block access to the fraudster as soon as suspicious activity is detected, minimizing the damage.

Staying ahead in emerging trends in telecommunications systems requires a combination of technical knowledge and strong soft skills. Clarity and Conciseness: Clearly articulate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. Active Listening: Pay attention to feedback and understand the needs of clients and team members. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work seamlessly with professionals from different departments (e.g., marketing, sales, IT). Adaptability and Flexibility: Stay open to new technologies and methodologies. The telecommunications field evolves rapidly, and being adaptable is crucial. Lifelong Learning: Continuously seek new knowledge and skills through courses, certifications, and industry events.

One thing I've found helpful is joining my local industry body. This allows me to network with my peers, understand their strategy for future deployment, and more clearly understand difficulties in the industry from outside of my company silo. In addition, I've found that attending trade shows and conferences show the future growth of the sector and other industry leaders in the region are likely to get ideas for their growth strategies from these conferences as well -- not to mention the networking possibilities at these types of events.

LTE Deployment Project Phases: Business Model: The Evaluation of the feasibility of the project based on the CAPEX/OPEX analysis. Nominal Plan: The initial network plan for the radio coverage, capacity and quality. Also Core network and connecting interface dimensioning is estimated roughly. Trials / Pilots: The evalution of the funcionality of the network with a set of parameters and architectural layout. Detailed Plan: The final architectural plan. Dimensioning of the Radio and Core network according to the theoretical and practical performance evaluation. Roll-out: The physical construction of the network according to the final architectural plan. Network element installation, interface construction, services setup.
