Why Mobile Cloud?
Enterprises Face Three Gaps When Addressing Mobility Needs:
- Everywhere mobile coverageOrganizations need seamless indoor, outdoor and campus-wide coverage from all major operators for mobile phones + tablets. Neither DAS nor Wi-Fi adequately address this issue.
- Always-on mobile dataToday’s enterprise wireless networks can get overloaded and are not able to prioritize or ensure continuous communications for critical apps and users.
- Mobility requirements of AI enterprisesCurrent wireless technologies like Wi-Fi, DAS and public LTE/5G cannot adequately address dynamic mobile use cases like AI-driven automation and robotics (robots, drones, autonomous vehicles) and the proliferation of smart IoT devices.
A new approach to solving mobility challenges
The Mobile Cloud
Recent advances in technology, including availability of freely licensed spectrum and multi-eSIM capability included in modern devices, along with the new software-defined 5G stack, and using a cloud-native model, make it possible to create a mobile cloud to address the shortfalls highlighted above.
The mobile cloud is deployed locally in the enterprise, and addresses on-boarding, connectivity, and orchestration of mobile devices, including smart phones, tablets, and AI-ready devices as per the following diagram.
Key requirements for a mobile cloud:
Built on a private mobile network – superior range, density, security, low latency, performance, resilience, and mobility
Reliable, high-performance data and control network for smart AI devices
Easy to deploy integrated stack of services – SIM, SAS, radio, network configuration + control, with zero-touch provisioning
Cloud-based 360º command + control including AI-powered services and partner integration
Seamless IT and telco integration – with IT infrastructure and best practices, and across major carriers
