Description

Are Mission-Critical Networks over 5G the Next Big Thing for CSPs to Monetize 5G?


This IDC Market Perspective discusses mission-critical network (MCN) systems, which are currently in a transition phase. MCNs are evolving from traditional land mobile radio systems such as TETRA to broadband systems such as 5G, leveraging their flexibility, security, and efficiency by sharing all or some of the network infrastructure. This brings great business opportunity for telco operators to drive 5G monetization. To capitalize on this multiyear profitable opportunity, CSPs will encounter certain challenges in the immediate future. "Mission-critical systems are among the most relevant revenue streams driving 5G monetization. Telco operators have a unique opportunity to increase their topline thanks to this technology in the coming years," said Alejandro Cadenas, associate vice president of Mobility Research, IDC EMEA. "The process to migrate to 5G is already happening so the window of opportunity for operators shall be leveraged, or the opportunity will be gone for many years to come."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
