At 5 milliseconds, current DNS latency is too high to support many 5G applications. For example, in 5G deployments, AR/ VR, gaming, connected cars, and telesurgery will require latency of 1-10 milliseconds. Current DNS latency is unacceptable. Pervasive connectivity of 5G will increase reliance on edge computing, which brings cloud resources compute, storage, and networking—closer to applications, devices, and users.

The 6G network could potentially supersede the existing networks and facilitate the development of a completely new type of internet. 6G uses higher-frequency radio bands, speeds are expected to be much faster and the “latency” to be lower.

Fredrik Jejdling says: “Mobile communication has had an incredible impact on society and business over the last ten years. When we look ahead to 2027, mobile networks will be more integral than ever to how we interact, live and work. Our latest Ericsson Mobility Report shows that the pace of change is accelerating, with technology playing a crucial role.”

Yahsat and Ericsson will offer integrated essential connectivity solutions to address industrial concerns such as a lack of network separation for communications, high operating costs, and data speed and coverage limits.

Saleem AlBlooshi said: “Mobile networks have evolved continuously ever since their inception, yet recent advancements have transpired at an unprecedented pace, with demands for capabilities these networks provide at their highest ever point. As such, du has strived to deliver newfound value through its own mobile network and consolidate its position as leading specialist and provider in this specific area.”
