Rakuten wesentlich besser als Rocket

Sunday, October 25, 2020 Ligado

Ligado Networks announced nearly $3.85 billion in new capital for supporting its upcoming 5G launch. The funding was led by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and included both existing and new investors.

Since its bipartisan, unanimous approval from the FCC in April 2020, Ligado has made important strides to realize the full potential of its spectrum and progress toward bringing next-generation services to market. In June 2020, Ligado’s submissions into 3GPP – the industry forum that adopts technical specifications for terrestrial spectrum – were approved and, importantly, enjoyed the support of global vendors such as Nokia, Intel, Samsung, and Sequans. This capital raise will further strengthen the company’s commercial collaboration with chipset designers, device manufacturers, and network infrastructure providers.

“Today is a great day, and now the fun begins. We’ve secured our license, we’ve raised the necessary capital, and we’re in a great position to work with the industry to get this spectrum deployed for 5G to support critical industries across the U.S.,” said Doug Smith, Ligado President and CEO.

“This new round of funding from existing and new investors validates our 5G plans to deploy this spectrum,” said Ivan Seidenberg, Chairman of Ligado’s Board of Directors. “We look forward to making continued progress to build the commercial ecosystem and fully execute on our vision for this spectrum as authorized by the FCC.”

Japan’s NEC in talks with Indian telcos for 5G-based OpenRAN deployment

Jio and Airtel are also looking to adopt the new technology to develop their own 5G equipment and solutions in the country. While Jio is developing everything on its own, Airtel is planning to partner with various vendors from the US, Japan and India.

NEC said that its talent pool in India has already been developing multiple solutions for the global market and also played a “very pivotal role” in deploying the first OpenRAN landscape with Rakuten in Japan.

Darüber hinaus hat sich in dieser ersten Schlusswoche die Zahl der Bestellungen von Click and Collect auf der E-Commerce-Plattform Rakuten Frankreich mehr als verdoppelt (+ 110%) im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. Die durch die Pandemie hervorgerufenen Kaufgewohnheiten sind nun nachhaltig in das Verbraucherverhalten integriert.

Doch obwohl die Umsätze im Vergleich zu 2020 deutlich gestiegen sind, bleiben die Verbraucher bei ihren Ausgaben vorsichtig und suchen nach echten Schnäppchen: Die überwiegende Mehrheit der bisherigen Verkäufe im Rahmen der Schlussverkäufe wurde mit Gutscheinen, Gutscheinen, Treueprogrammen und Belohnungen getätigt.

Edouard Lauwick bestätigt diese Beobachtungen: "Der kleinste Bildschirm hat sich jetzt als wichtigstes Kaufinstrument etabliert, sowohl für die Produktsuche als auch für den Kauf. Aber auch wenn die Verbraucher immer mehr Anhänger des Online-Shoppings sind, suchen sie weiterhin nach Schnäppchen und Sonderangeboten, was darauf hindeutet, dass sie weiterhin finanzielle Vorsicht walten lassen, während wir in ein neues, unsicheres Jahr eintreten. Angesichts der Art des kundenorientierten Affiliate-Marketing ist dies nach wie vor die effektivste Methode für Marken, ihre Produkte den Verbrauchern sehr überzeugend zu präsentieren.

SpaceMobile: The Future Of Wifi Could Be Here

Summary

• Today, 4 billion people around the world remain unconnected or badly connected to cellular broadband, creating a $1 trillion potential market.
• SpaceMobile's goal is to allow any mobile phone to connect to cellular broadband anywhere in the world, with the first phase of operations starting in 2023.
• The company has a substantial competitive advantage with 750+ patents as well as commercial agreements with large wireless providers.
• The valuation of $1.9 billion is very conservative considering the large opportunity SpaceMobile can capture.

I believe this entry valuation prices in a very low chance of success. Assuming a valuation of $300bil in 2027, or 30x EBITDA, and a discount rate of 15%, SpaceMobile should be worth $100bil+ today, meaning the current EV is pricing in a success rate of just 2%.

There are several risks investors need to take note of before investing in SpaceMobile. It's possible that for some reason, the technology may not work on larger satellites or it may be more costly than expected. It is also possible that NASA or another government agency could object to the proposal - NASA has said in the past that the satellites could potentially pose a collision risk to A-train satellites. And of course, even if the technology works well, not all consumers may be willing to pay for it. At this point, SpaceMobile is not much more than a very exciting concept backed by credible partners, so I would say this is a very speculative investment.

Overall, very few companies have the potential to change an industry, and even fewer can do so in less than 5 years. SpaceMobile presents a very unique investment opportunity to make wi-fi accessible to billions around the world, yet it somehow still has a very conservative valuation, leaving substantial upside to be captured.

Telegram, Signal, Viber: All You Need To Know About The Top Alternatives To WhatsApp

Updated: 13 Jan 2021, 02:40 PM IST

WhatsApp's new update to its privacy policy and terms of service hasn't gone down well with users , several of whom are now looking for better alternatives to switch to. Last week, the instant messaging giant had launched a new privacy policy stating that it will be sharing user data with parent company Facebook, and those who do not accept the updated terms by February 8, will no longer have the access to their chats.

This notification, which users across India started receiving early last week, threw people, tech experts, and cybersecurity advocates into a frenzy. Several multinational companies also started advising their employees to avoid disclosing or sharing sensitive company-related data or information on WhatsApp. These companies warned their staff against making crucial business calls on the messaging platform.
Viber
This is yet another instant messaging app that supports end-to-end encryption. Your messages, videos, photos, video and voice calls are protected. It is a cross-platform operated by Japanese firm MNC Rakuten, that lets you back-up your data from the app to your drive.


Just like Telegram, Viber, too, offers the disappearing messages feature. You can set a particular time and your text will disappear on its own. It also offers a ‘screenshot lock’ feature, similar to that of Signal. Viber can be accessed on iOS, Android and Windows.

How safe is your data with Viber?

Although Viber is a free app, you might see a few ads on the messaging platform. However, the company in a blog post clarified that the ads only help them keep the app free for all to use and no user data is actually shared with the advertising providers.

The messaging platform collects your device ID identifiers, location, phone number and user ID, in addition to product interaction, email ID, name and contacts.

Re: Rakuten Mobile Comments on 5G Challenge Notice of Inquiry
Docket No. 210105–0001, RIN 0660–XC04

Dear Ms. Dorch:

We appreciate the opportunity to provide input on the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA’s) and Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) 5G Challenge. At Rakuten Mobile, we are strong proponents of an open 5G stack. We have deployed the world’s first 4G and 5G fully virtualized cloud native mobile network leveraging open RAN and open standards. Our network is software-centric and uses commoditized servers resulting in a highly flexible, scalable, secure, and resilient network. Our network architecture is future-proof, leverages massive automation and allows for substantial reductions in both CAPEX and OPEX.

We have also developed Rakuten Communications Platform – a solution that enables telecommunications providers, governments, and enterprises to easily build secure and open networks.

Strong job-posting of Rakuten RCP in Singapore is a sign for strong growth

sg.jobsdb.com/Rakuten-Mobile-Singapore-Pte.-Ltd.-jobs

In September 2020 Intel announced a partnership with Rakuten Mobile, to help the company deliver the world’s first, fully-virtualized 5G mobile network, using a breadth of Intel technology, which included:

FlexRAN, which received enhancements to its software reference architecture,

Intel virtualized radio access network (vRAN) dedicated accelerator,

Network-optimized next-generation Intel Xeon Scalable and D processors (code-named “Ice Lake”);

Upgraded Intel Select Solutions for Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI).

By building a virtualized, cloud native network we realize significant economies of scale that kept the capital and operating costs of the network efficient,” said Tareq Amin, CTO at Rakuten Mobile. “Harnessing proven cloud technologies and underpinning our network with Intel technologies like FlexRAN, Intel processors, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and OpenNESS toolkit, gives us a powerful foundation to deliver immersive experiences and support a variety of edge computing applications.”

Intel has identified a $25bn silicon opportunity within 5G networks by 2023, and says that the company is looking to “benefit from a perfect storm of 5G, edge buildout and pervasive artificial intelligence (AI)”. And Intel appears to be making good on that promise, as the company’s software reference architecture grew to nearly 100 licensees last year, and added enhancements including optimizations to its MIMO mid-band pipeline and support for ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC).

Ligado to trial Rakuten’s RCP for 5G private networks
by Bevin Fletcher |
Feb 12, 2021 1:03pm

Ligado Networks plans to take the Rakuten Communications Platform (RCP) for a spin, agreeing to co-develop a 5G mobile private network solution for enterprises using Rakuten’s open RAN approach and Ligado’s licensed L-band spectrum.

Ligado already operates mobile satellite services (MSS) in North America and said its approach for private networks includes a combination of satellite and terrestrial connectivity.

This year “we are aiming to sign the first RCP deal and deployment out of Japan and most importantly we are further planning to accelerate Japan network deployment and reach 96% PoPs coverage by 2021,” Amin said during the earnings presentation.

Rakuten’s presentation indicated 20 potential customers in the U.S. for its RCP.  
“We have driven the discussion in the telecom world on the necessity of Open RAN architecture and unlocked the mystery of radio. Not only did we build the 4G/5G network with O-RAN, we also delivered with performance and quality,” Amin said.
