Tariff cancellation will be carried out in stages The MTS operator announced the deadline for completing the process of canceling payments for distributing Internet traffic from smartphones. According to the company, taking into account the necessary improvements to IT systems, the phased abolition of tariffs for Internet distribution will be completely carried out by the end of February 2024. In this case, tariffication will be canceled on all tariffs where this option is provided, including unlimited ones. Let us remind you that earlier we were talking about the return of free traffic distribution only for tariffs with prepaid packages, but not for unlimited ones.  [caption id="attachment_83068" align="aligncenter" width="780"] MTS[/caption] MTS will finally cancel fees for Internet distribution no later than the end of February According to MTS, the company made this decision “taking into account the socio-economic situation and meeting our users halfway.” Other large Russian operators - MegaFon, VimpelCom and Tele2 - began to cancel payments for distributing the Internet from smartphones since the end of October this year at the request of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS). MTS first stated that it would not allow its subscribers to distribute the Internet for free from mobile devices, as this would lead to an increase in the cost of traffic for all tariffs. But then the operator changed his mind and decided to comply with the FAS requirements.

5G Open RAN is the first commercial network of its kind Japanese operator NTT DOCOMO today announced the deployment of the world's first commercial GPU-accelerated 5G network. [caption id="attachment_60419" align="alignnone" width="780"] 5G network[/caption] The new product is called 5G Open RAN, and it is the first 5G virtual network for commercial deployment by telcos using Nvidia's Aerial platform with a carrier-grade vRAN-enhanced stack. The platform brings together Nvidia's Aerial vRAN stack for 5G, artificial intelligence infrastructure, accelerated computing infrastructure, and long-term software support and maintenance. Japan launched the world's first 5G network with acceleration based on Nvidia GPUs [caption id="attachment_60420" align="aligncenter" width="596"] 5G network[/caption] 5G Open RAN leverages Fujitsu's high-performance 5G virtual radio access network (vRAN), built on the NvidiaAerial vRAN stack and Nvidia converged accelerators. This symbiosis allows telecommunications companies to create an all-software and cloud-based network that can dynamically allocate resources using industry-standard hardware. DOCOMO itself says that this approach, among other things, can significantly reduce both the costs of building a network and increase energy efficiency. More precisely, compared to existing 5G networks, the new solution reduces overall costs by up to 30%, network load by up to 50%, and power consumption at base stations by up to 50%.
