5G – Advantages

Robbins, CEO of Cisco: “There is no exaggeration with 5G, it’s an incredible leap”


https://www.expansion.com/economia-digital/protagonistas/2019/03/05/5c7eaf9de5fdeaed308b4574.html

It promises dramatically improved performance for mobile workers and businesses.

Improves speed, latency and consumption.

 

What is 5G?


The term 5G refers to the fifth generation mobile network. It presents a new improved technology of the current 4G / LTE, mainly in terms of speed, latency and consumption.It is a new way of using mobile devices. It offers advantages such as higher connection speed and greater autonomy in the device, despite causing greater performance.While the maximum speed of 4G technology is only 1 Gbps, the International Telecommunications Union has set the speed of 5G to a standard of up to 10Gbps, higher than the fiber optic speed.In short, 5G is the new generation of mobile data.As we have co-emulated, the speed of 5G promises to be much higher than the 4G mobile network and 100 times higher than today’s wireless systems, this is a total revolution in the well-known IoT Internet of things: keep everything connected to your phone ( the house, sanitary services, cars, machines, appliances …)

Another of the numerous advantages of 5G is the reduction of latency. The transfer time of a data packet will be reduced, this latency being between 1 and 4 milliseconds. Communication will be immediate, as will downloading files. 5G technology will be fast, mobile and secure.

Characteristic4G4G+5G
Speed (Mbps)200120010000
Latency (milliseconds)100201-4

Speed ​​and latency also favor better connectivity from more places, as well as the connection of multiple devices simultaneously. MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology allows us to transfer more data between devices in the same space. This means that if we add more antennas, we can transport more data packets at the same time. That is, a higher transfer rate at the same time. It is what the 5G proposes; Up to 100 more devices connected per area unit compared to 4G and LTE networks.

Lower latency allows to improve the performance of commercial applications and other digital experiences such as online games, videoconferences and cars with autopilot …

While previous generations such as 4G LTE aimed to ensure connectivity, 5G technology takes connectivity to the next level by offering connected cloud experiences to customers. 5G networks are virtualized and run through software, and take advantage of cloud technologies.

The 5G architectures will be software-defined platforms, where network functionality is managed through software rather than through hardware. Advances in virtualization, cloud-based technologies and automation of IT and commercial processes allow the 5G architecture to be agile and flexible and provide user access anytime, anywhere.

5G and Wifi6 will be implemented together in the company


For the IT department of companies, it will be a challenge to manage these access technologies separately, and it will be a priority to have them as integrated systems, with unified policies, security and analysis.

Users and devices should move between 5G and Wi-Fi 6 systems, and the IT manager will want the experience to be perfect and easy to manage at scale.

The 5G network will also simplify mobility, with open roaming capabilities without problems between the cell phone and Wi-Fi access. Mobile users can remain connected while traveling through external wireless connections and wireless networks within the premises without user intervention or the need to have to authenticate again.

 

Powerx 5G Cisco

Cisco is implementing a cloud-to-customer approach to 5G, unifying multi-vendor solutions into a unique standards-based architecture. It covers multiple clouds, IP routing, 5G core, perimeter service, access networks, IoT and security. It offers the technology you need, where you need it, so you can maintain, and even exceed, what your customers want.

Cisco Webex Calling, a cloud-based telephone system.

Cisco Webex Calling

Webex Calling, a cloud-based telephone system.

For companies that have been waiting for a trusted brand to offer a multi-user cloud-based alternative available globally to their local PBX, the wait is over.

Cisco Webex® Calling offers all the features of a traditional PBX through a subscription service.

Main features Cisco Webex Calling:

  • An advanced set of business-level PBX features.
  • An enriched user experience that includes the Cisco® Webex Calling application for mobile and desktop users, integrated with the Cisco Webex Teams ™ collaboration application.
  • Support for an integrated user experience with Cisco Webex Meetings and Webex devices, including 6800, 7800 and 8800 series desk phones from Cisco IP phones and analog ATAs.
  • Delivery from a set of geo-redundant data centers distributed regionally throughout the world.
  • Service available in a growing list of countries in each region.
  • Protection of existing investment in any local Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) license, through the flexible Cisco collaboration plan.
  • A smooth migration to the cloud at your own pace, through cloud and mixed cloud support and local implementations.

 

PSTN connectivity

How is PSTN connectivity provided with Webex Calling ?

Webex Calling allows you to locally connect your existing PSTN service to the Webex cloud through the use of Cisco-approved gateways.

What hardware, gateway, is compatible to connect Cisco Webex calls to the PSTN ?

Webex Calling allows your client to connect your existing PSTN service to the Webex cloud through Cisco gateways. The following Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) devices are compatible with Webex Calling to connect your client’s PSTN service:

● Cisco 4321, 4331, 4351, 4431, and 4451 Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR) that use version 16.9 of the Cisco IOS® XE software (3)

● Cisco Cloud Services Router 1000 Series (CSR 1000V) with virtual CUBE and Cisco IOS XE Software version 16.9 (3)

● Cisco 1100 ISR with Cisco IOS XE software version 16.11

Note: CUBE call licenses are included in the Cisco Webex Calling Flex Plan license. CUBE selection requirements are governed by the needs of encryption and decryption. (The signaling and means to Cisco Webex Calling are always safe)

 

An example gateway and software that should be used:

For Webex calls with less than 200 users, you can use the Cisco 4321 Integrated Services Router (ISR) with the required Cisco IOS® XE software.

The 4321 ISR will support up to 40 sessions, therefore 200 users in a 1: 5 ratio. If you need more sessions, a more powerful router will be required. Here is an example bill of materials (BOM) for an ISR 4321:

4321 ISR hardware ISR4321/K9

+

Unified communication license for Cisco 4320 ISR SL-4320-UC-K9

+

Security license for cisco 4320 ISR SL-4320-SEC-K9

 

For environments with more than 200 users, we recommend an ISR 4331 and the required CUBE software. The 4331 ISR will manage up to 200 sessions. With a 5: 1 ratio, it can provide support for up to 1000 users. This will vary according to the client.

Are calls encrypted?

Yes, call traffic is encrypted end to end.

Can you use a gateway that supports the Webex Calling on-premise and cloud solution to support users?

Yes. One of the advantages of using a gateway to provide PSTN connectivity to cloud users is that it is an important first step in helping the client transition to the cloud at the pace that best suits their business strategy.

What are the benefits for the end customer of Webex Calling?

Customers can:
  • Transform your business by migrating to collaboration and communication solutions in the cloud.
  • Reduce the cost and complexity of technology and provide a more agile and intuitive way of working.
  • Integrate innovative and reliable brand in cloud collaboration, security and solution delivery.
  • Integrate with Cisco Webex Meetings and Teams to provide an exceptional cognitive collaboration experience.
  • Migrate at your own pace and protect existing investments with the hybrid cloud options of the Flex Plan.
  • Improve global and multi-site customer service, as well as remote and mobile worker connectivity.

Meraki MV32 camera. 360º vision Ideal open spaces

Cisco Meraki is pleased to announce the latest addition to the MV family: the Meraki MV32 camera. This new camera has a 360 ° vision which allows you to have a complete vision. In the dashboard you can have a digital panorama, with tilt and zoom in both live and historical images. The MV32 is ideal for open spaces that are found in stores, stores, large corridors.

We are also announcing Motion Search 2.0 and Motion Recap that provide greater understanding and business intelligence.

See things from a new perspective

MV32 presents the same innovative architecture as the rest of the MV family, and adds a 360 ° visualization of an area. The camera records and processes the totally distorted image, and the Meraki dashboard allows an immersive video view, with pan, tilt and zoom in live and historical images.

Unlike traditional pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) cameras that only record what they are currently watching, the Meraki MV32 camera stores everything in the field of view, so no information is lost. This makes it ideal for open spaces, areas with corridors and also in areas with intersecting corridors where visibility is needed in several directions.

Meraki MV32 has an 8.4MP sensor and records at a resolution of up to 2058 x 2058. It has the same industry-leading processor as the rest of the second generation MV line, enabling advanced analysis with object detection through artificial vision and automatic learning. It comes with 256 GB of integrated storage and has wireless capability, which facilitates its installation in a variety of locations.

Do you want to try the meraki MV32 camera?

Do not hesitate, ask us!

Find what you are looking for faster!

They are introducing introducing two new software features.

The first feature, Motion Search 2.0, offers a new detection algorithm that increases fidelity for small changes, reduces false positives and offers better sensitivity at night and in low contrast environments.

 

The second feature, Motion Recap uses the information collected from the movement in the camera to produce composite images that summarize the activity in a single frame. The panel will automatically display the search results as recapitulations of movement, which facilitates the quick identification of what you are looking for. The images of Motion Recap serves to understand everything that happened without watching the video.

 

The new MV32 will be available from May.

Motion Search 2.0 and Motion Recap will be available for all second generation MV cameras as a software update, included at no charge as part of the license.

Wi-Fi 6. IEEE 802.11ax. Uses and news.

IEEE 802.11ax, also known as WiFi 6, is a type of WLAN in the IEEE 802.11 suite. This new standard will be essential for the development of digitalization processes, as well as the implementation of technologies such as the 5G or Internet of Things.

It is designed to operate in the already existing 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectra.

SCENARIOS OF USE WI-FI 6

802.11ax is designed to:

  • High density public environments: airports, trains, auditoriums, shopping centers, stadiums …
  • in companies for deployments of 5G, Internet of Things (IoT),
  • in homes where there is intensive use of the internet, and
  • in offices that use applications with a high bandwidth consumption (eg VoIP).
  • 802.11ax is also designed so that we can surf and download data more quickly from our mobile devices.

What does the use of WI-FI 6 provide us?

  • Network decongestion: Every time we have more devices connected to the internet and the routers must be able to support several connections at the same time. The wifi 6 is designed to offer more reach and coverage, so that the action of connecting in “dense environments” will improve the user experience.
  • More speed: This standard allows to reach speeds of up to 11 Gbps in three devices or more at a time, with a maximum speed of 5 Gbps in a single device.
  • Performance: Wifi 6 will mean lower battery costs, up to two thirds less than what current standards on mobile devices consume, through a feature called Target Wake Time (TWT), which allows devices to remain inactive until they are It is his turn to transmit data with the use of a programming scheme negotiated with the APs.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT WIFI 6?

All this is possible because, as we have said before, IEEE 802.11ax, in addition to using MIMO and MU-MIMO (multiuser, multiple input, multiple output), introduces OFDMA (Multiple access by orthogonal frequency division). It improves the global spectral efficiency, and thanks to its 1024-QAM modulation the WIFI 6 bandwidth responds much better in high density information scenarios and quadruples the WIFI 5 possibilities providing a higher performance. Although the nominal data rate is only 37% higher than IEEE 802.11ac, it is expected to achieve a 4x increase in user performance due to more efficient spectrum utilization with lower power consumption.
From the point of view of security, WIFI 6 supports the WPA3 protocol that will make your wireless connection much safer.

Wi-Fi 6, companies can take advantage of important innovations.

Wi-Fi 6 will dramatically improve the wireless experience and allow new uses of wireless networks that were not possible until now.
With WIFI 6 it decreases latency and provides a much better experience in applications such as streaming, video calls, shared desktop tasks.

The orchestration of the management systems of these separate networks is our next frontier.

With so many changes in the way we connect, we are facing an exceptional opportunity to combine technological change with strategic planning, as we explore how new wireless capabilities will change the way our businesses operate.
