Description
You’ve seen the hype. 5G is coming. Unfortunately it’s not anytime real soon. Consumers will need to upgrade their devices, mobile operators will need to deploy tons of new equipment to provide for uninterrupted wireless 5G service in dense metro areas, and the industry will need to understand the use cases for 5G and how to monetize them. One clear opportunity for 5G is streaming video. Cisco has long been saying through their Visual Networking Index report that mobile IP traffic is largely video. Does that mean the bandwidth afforded by 5G will enable more streaming? Higher quality streaming? But 5G will also enable a more responsive edge network. Could that affect the mobile streaming experience, enabling more interactive opportunities? In this webinar, we will explore what 5G means to streaming, how video distributors can take advantage of the 5G opportunities, and when we can expect to see broad adoption and impact.
Topics Covered
- There is a lot of hype about 5G in the market. What are the differences in the different mobile offerings right now and what does it mean for streaming at this time?
- What are the technical challenges operators face with mobile streaming and how will 5G alleviate some of those problems?
- What video streaming problems doesn’t 5G solve?
- Even if 5G provides more bandwidth from the tower to the device, where are the bottlenecks in the operator network? Does 5G do anything to improve those?
- Will 5G technology enable operators to deploy eMBMS solutions?
- How can 5G improve the edge of the network? What kind of streaming video use cases and applications might we see with a more responsive and high-throughput edge?
- How can streaming in the home benefit from 5G? Does it just come down to more bandwidth?
- What do streaming platform operators need to keep in mind with regards to video quality over 5G? Will everything be 4K?
- What can streaming platform operators do in the short- and long-term to get ready to take advantage of 5G streaming?
- What’s the timeframe look like for streaming and network operators to truly take advantage of 5G streaming?
