Now on

Athonet is at the confluence of three major trends

• New market demand including Public Safety, Industry 4.0, Connected Vehicles, Smart Cities & Grids that traditional networks cannot serve

• Softwarisation and cloudification allows operators and end-users to leapfrog legacy solutions with dramatic simplicity, agility and affordability

• Regulatory and technology shifts that are creating new ways to utilize radio spectrum for Industrial/Enterprise LTE (e.g CBRS US, France, 1.9 Ghz in Japan, MulteFire)

Requires a new network paradigm to serve and manage a federation of distributed networks

Athonet serves the new mobile “edge” markets

Very low latency, reliable and highly secure mobile broadband communications for business critical & industrial automation applications

Deliver demanding Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that the conventional mobile network cannot provide

Prioritise traffic for time sensitive data and to adapt to changing needs

Provide in-building and campus/site wide mobility coverage using LTE that is superior to WiFi

Guarantee redundancy and resilience if backhaul goes down in an emergency or other situation

Provide industrial customers with visibility and control of the industrial networks as they can today with WiFi but without the drawbacks (rising opex/capex for complex industrial sites, reduced security/control, limited coverage, interference/reliability issues etc.)

Provide dedicated Quality of Service for different types of traffic and applications

Roaming and interconnection with national operator networks for national coverage

• Citizen’s Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) is under trials in the USA with General Access expected by end 2018

• Allows private users to deploy on 3.5 Ghz• CBRS is a gamechanger – first time that mobile

operator is not needed for LTE• Within USA alone, it is estimated that CBRS can

address an opportunity of 130 million access points (30 million enterprise) – each access point can support 5-30 users on average

• Industry estimates are for 5.4 million CBRS access points by 2022

• MulteFire – Global opportunity on 5 Ghz (Japan 1.9 Ghz) that does not require mobile operator

• Global estimates for MulteFire addressable markets are US$ 26 billion by 2023 with 500 million SIMs by 2022 (Harbour Research)

Requirement: National coverage of c.30 million smartmeters feeding back into 1 million LTE concentrators as wellas sub-stations, core power generation and transmissioninfrastructure

Problem: Conventional SIM-only approach was expensiveand did not give customer the flexibility and visibilityrequired

Solution: Athonet enabled a private MVNO on a nationaloperators infrastructure with full integration into theenterprise ICT environment via Athonet’s APIs

Benefit: Customer obtained the desired visibility, flexibilityand coverage but with very large cost savings compared tolegacy SIM-only customer approach

Enel Smartgrid Phase III– 2015 – Large Scale IoT


IoT(エネルギー)向けプライベートLTE MVNO

Requirement: Public safety responders required a reliablebroadband network to send back live video feeds and other criticalcomms to the control room to enable effective deployment and useof resources in a live emergency.

Problem: The earthquake had destroyed existing cellular terrestrialcommunications networks. Satellite solutions were not appropriatefor transmitting large numbers of video feeds in a local areanetwork. WiFi networks needed large numbers of access points,wiring and controllers which could simply not be deployed in adisaster zone. The solution had to be simple to deploy and use byfirst responders with limited telecoms expertise

Solution: Athonet’s agile virtualized edge core was deployed withinhours on ruggedized portable infrastructure to allow mission criticalcommunications.

地域医療、LTEを使用したスマート救急車の事例

Requirement: Enabling communications between connected andautonomous vehicles and external infrastructure for control,data and media usuage (V2X)

Problem: CAVs produce more than 2000x the data per day of atypical consumer data user. Low latency communications arerequired while not overloading mobile networks RAN andbackhaul with these highly demanding data requirements

Solution: Athonet’s agile virtualized edge core with user plane &control plane separation allowed content management at theextreme network edge. Athonet’s localized eMBMS functions arealso able to reduce common dataflows by allowing simulcast ofcommon data for software updates, critical traffic conditioninformation, media streaming and other uses

Athonet also demonstrated these functions live at MWC 2017 ona live network with Vmware and Harman

ボーダフォン、5G Mobility Labにてフロードキャストネットワークを構築

Athonet began trials in the USA as early as 2011 and deployed its first commercial vEPC in the USA in 2014

Requirement: Mobile Broadband coverage for RegionalNetwork operators with full in/out roaming that is costeffective, easy to manage, has small footprint but canscale up as needed

Problem: Cost and complexity of legacy technologies is abarrier to the deployment of smaller regional networkswho need a compact solution that can also scale andinterconnect with Tier 1 Mobile Operator networks.

Solution: Athonet’s edge core provides a highly costeffective solution that allows the customer to start with asmall deployment and then scale up to meet the needs ofroaming with Tier 1 US operators. Athonet is nowdeployed in over 10 networks.

Requirement: Instant network coverage for emergency,disaster, search & rescue or roving events to allow voice,video and data between local and remote teams

Problem: Local network may be non-existent,incapacitated or not able to provide QoS due tocongestion. Band network backhaul may be unreliable ornon-existent and local operations must continue withapplications running locally.

Solution: Athonet’s deployed a full mobile edge core ona drone together with IMS, HSS and off-shelf small cell sothat independent local communications could continueeffectively with or without backhaul. Backhaul capabilitycan be added to standalone operations via UE modemconnected to satellite or other available sources. Dronecan be kept powered via tethered power source for longerterm use

ドローンを使用した災害用LTEネットワークの構築

Requirement: RaiWay, Italy's state-owned transmission andbroadcasting network provider, required a high throughput mobiledata solution within the large area covered by EXPO 2015 World's Fairin Milan. The purpose was to manage its site communications andconnect mobile high definition TV cameras, radio locations and itsMedia Center in real-time.

Problem: WiFi could not support the demanding mobility/QoSrequirements. Macro LTE networks are loaded with consumer trafficand required large amounts of data to be backhauled leading to issuesin reliability, network usage costs and control.

Solution: Athonet’s agile virtualized edge core allowed a dedicatedhigh performance edge network to be spun-up to meet thedemanding needs of the broadcaster. It allowed Rai Way to providereliable wireless broadband connectivity to cover events and provideimages in real-time from specific areas of interest even during criticalsituations when public networks become congested.

LTE for Broadcasters – Milan World Expo 2015


博覧会@ミラノにおけるLTEブロードキャストネットワークの構築

Requirement: Nurburgring circuit “pop-up” coverage by DeutscheTelekom required HD Professional Video Broadcast in real-time fromfixed and on-board cameras, real time telemetry for teams andmedia, live streaming for local and remote viewers with individualchoice of camera views

Problem: Macro Network could not guarantee performance whennetwork congested, could not support real-time due to high latency,costly and complex to integrate ad-hoc media requirements withcentralized national core. WiFi alternative was complex andexpensive and could not be deployed in such a timescale

Solution: Athonet’s agile virtualized edge core allowed a dedicatedhigh performance edge network to be spun-up rapidly to meet thedemanding, but ad-hoc, needs of the customer. It allowed DeutscheTelekom to provide reliable wireless broadband connectivity to coverad-hoc events and provide HD images in real-time from specificareas of interest even during critical situations when public networksbecome congested.
