Innovation to achieve \u2018self-driving\u2019 IMT-2020\/5G networks, collaboration in the interests of 5G security and the value of \u2018open\u2019 network concepts were among the key topics discussed at an invitation-only meeting of ICT industry executives (\u2018CxOs\u2019)<\/a> held last week in Dubai, UAE, in conjunction with the Telecom Review Leaders\u2019 Summit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CxOs shared insights gained from early 5G deployments and trials of 5G-enabled industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications. They also discussed the importance of building public trust in autonomous driving and the safety-critical radiocommunications supporting Intelligent Transport Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a view to discussing industry needs and associated standardization priorities, the meeting brought together representatives of companies including du, Etisalat, Facebook, Fujitsu, Korek Telecom, Krypton Security, Nokia, Orange, Roborace, Rohde & Schwarz, SES Networks and TELUS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trends discussed at the CxO meeting reflect the evolution of ITU membership, in particular that of ITU\u2019s standardization arm (ITU-T)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ITU-T has welcomed 51 new members in 2019, following 45 new members in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New ITU-T members include companies in energy and utilities, shipping and logistics, mobile payments, over-the-top applications, automotive, IoT connectivity, blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, quantum communications, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence and machine learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting issued a communiqu\u00e9 summarizing ICT trends of growing relevance to ITU standardization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The optimization of network management and orchestration \u2013 capitalizing on real-time network performance data, machine learning for prediction and self-learning, and the automated build and configuration of virtual network functions \u2013 will improve ICT services and introduce new cost efficiencies, said CxOs.RELATED: New ITU standard to introduce Machine Learning into 5G networks<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This optimization is becoming increasingly challenging, and increasingly important, as networks gain in complexity to support the coexistence of a diverse range of ICT services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CxOs encouraged ITU to study the evolution of network operation and maintenance in view of increasing network complexity and the resulting importance of automation informed by machine learning.Security<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CxOs discussed the progress achieved in responding to the \u2018Ottawa Accord\u2019 considered by ITU\u2019s annual Chief Technology Officer (CTO) meeting<\/a> in Budapest, Hungary, 8 September 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ottawa Accord is a set of security priorities developed in June 2019 by network operators, standards bodies and industry associations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Budapest CTO meeting endorsed the findings of the Ottawa Accord in relation to three security priorities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
