Ep #2: Decoding CBRS for Enterprises and Busting Myths with Taliver Heath
ALYNMENT - Private Networks Technology to Business Alignment for Enterprises
11/21/19 • 40 min
CBRS or Citizens Broadband Radio Service has been touted as an innovation band to revolutionize enterprise private wireless connectivity, but this 4 letter acronym is not yet pervasive in CIO’s tech stack. What are the promises it really holds for businesses and the end consumers? What will be the real-world business impact of CBRS based Private LTE on telecom carriers and enterprises? Where does it makes sense and where it does not? And is it ready for the prime time?
Today, we have with us Taliver Heath from Google, who will help us fill some of the alignment gaps in commercializing CBRS and Private LTE. I met Taliver at the OnGo booth during Mobile World Congress Los Angeles. While he has a very impressive background and vast knowledge and experience on this topic, his humble attitude makes him an instant friend. Together, we will get to the bottom of the big promise CBRS brings to improve private LTE networks, bridge the gaps between expectation versus reality, bust some myths, and most importantly, discover how your IT team can leverage the benefits of the CBRS shared spectrum structure.

AI Ops is a natural fit in the 5G era with software-defined networks that are increasingly programmable. Human supervision of 5G networks is a bit like trying to hop onto an electric train after it has left the station. AI-assisted automation is the holy grail for network managers rattled by a catastrophe precipitated by human errors. While early trials of AI Ops in private and public 5G networks are promising, data capture in network labyrinths is forbidding due to many silos, emergent data standards, and insufficient data to train AI models. How are telcos and enterprise CIOs balancing the risk and benefits of autonomous networks steered by AI? Let’s find out!
Our guest for the podcast is Aaron Boasman-Patel, Vice President of AI & Customer Experience at TM Forum. He is responsible for defining and executing the strategic vision for all AI, manages the cross-ecosystem collaboration projects, and helps to set industry standards.
In our discussion today, we will uncover a few things, such as:
What are the early lessons from experimenting with autonomous networks?
What are the challenges of setting data standards for AI Operations and automation?
How does AI Ops benefit private 5G deployments? and
