5G consortium commences novel network architecture initiative The 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership (5GPPP) has announced the commencement of a new 30 month initiative designed to establish a new mobile network architecture for 5G. The project has been given a rather forced acronym – NORMA – which stands for Novel Radio Multiservice adaptive network Architecture. Since the 5GPPP is principally a European initiative the key players in this are also European, Such as Nokia, Alcatel-Lucent, Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica, Real Wireless and King’s College London. By the end of 2017 the aim seems to be to have a new and improved mobile network architecture, from the core to the edge, to propose to the world. It will take into account the forecasted needs for increased bandwidth, lower latency, IoT support, etc. The new architecture will also need to support other technological developments such as hetnets, SON, virtualization and full duplex transmission, and there’s an emphasis on the flexibility of the architecture. “The technical approach is based on the innovative concept of adaptive (de)composition and allocation of network functions, which flexibly decomposes the network functions and places sthe resulting functions in the most appropriate location,” said the release. “5G is not only about new radio access technology, network architecture will play an important role as well,” said Dr. Werner Mohr, Chairman of the 5GPPP Association. “5G networks will have to be programmable, software driven and managed holistically to enable a diverse range of services in a profitable way. With 5G NORMA, the consortium aims to ensure economic sustainability of the network operation and open opportunities for new players, while leveraging a future-proof architecture in a cost- and energy-effective way.” There will presumably be parallel research initiatives going on in the Americas and APAC as well as countless other technological developments laying claim to be key 5G technologies, so the 3GPP, ITU or whoever decides on these things will have their work cut out sorting the wheat from the chaff.

It was a very pleasant evening and I was out with my friends. We decided to go out for dinner at a very renowned restaurant. It was situated on out-skirts of the city and hosted few of the finest cuisines you can manage to get throughout the city. We made a reservation to the place at around 8pm. Incidentally, we reached half an hour late to the restaurant and when we asked for our place; they informed us that currently there is no vacant seat and we might have to wait for another hour or so before we can have a place. We got really furious arguing how could it possibly happen when we made an advanced booking. Anyhow, we waited till there was a place for us, for 1.5 hours exactly. We made our orders and the food arrived in next 10-15 minute. We were shocked to see the quality of the food served; as if the leftover of the day were just passed on to us after some garnishing in order to give it a better appearance. We could not tolerate this anymore and we called up the manager to lodge a complaint. We got infuriated and got up to leave the place when suddenly the person sitting at the table next to ours stopped us and mentioned: “Do write a review of your experience at the restaurant on Zomato to prevent other customers from facing the same.” We left the place. We emphatically wrote a review of the restaurant at Zomato and were surprised to see the number of people who either seconded or supported our review. The sort of response we received on our review was like a bolt from blue. Zomato, for all those who have not come across it yet, is an online restaurant search and discovery service which provides information on home delivery, cafes, and restaurants along with menus, photos, reviews and contact details for credibility. It was started by two Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi alumni Deepinder Goyal and Pankaj Chaddah in the year 2008 as Foodiebay.com. Deepinder was born and brought up in Punjab and fits perfectly into ‘You can take food away from a Punjabi but you cannot take a Punjabi away from food’. He recalls how the idea of Zomato originated from him waiting daily for the free-delivery menu cards at lunch time. It was burning down a substantial part of their free time daily and hence he decided to avert off all the trouble by providing everything online. In initial phase, it was just a website which displayed menus of restaurant, reviews and recommendations. In November 2010, Foodiebay.com was renamed as Zomato.com (interestingly, only because it rhymes with tomato!). The next step was to make the website more accessible. It was then that the decision to come up with a Smartphone based application was made and Zomato application was developed and made available for Google’s Android operating system. Now there was a need of money in order to expand the business. In August 2010 in its first round of funding, Zomato raised US$1 million from Info Edge (India). Again in September 2011 in its second round of funding, Zomato raised of US$3.5million from the same investor. In year 2012 in its third round of funding, Zomato raised another US$2.5 million. In early 2013 through its fourth round of funding, Zomato raised worth US$10 million from Info Edge. With this, Info Edge was holding a stake of 57.9% in Zomato. In November 2013 in yet another round of funding, Zomato raised US$37 million from Sequoia Capital and Info Edge. In November 2014, Zomato received a fresh round of funding of US$60 million jointly led by Info Edge (India) Limited and Vy Capital and Sequoia Capital. By now, Zomato has raised a total funding worth US$113 million. Simultaneously, company was focusing on expansion plans. It was running successfully in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore and Pune. Also, Zomatos launched applications for iOS, Windows Phone and BlackBerry devices. Moreover, Zomato expanded beyond Indian borders by launching its services in various countries. Subsequently, Zomato made its first acquisition by buying New Zealand’s ‘Menu-mania’ in July 2014. More recently, Zomato acquired Seattle-based food portal ‘Urbanspoon’ in January 2015. Within 7 year of Zomato’s envision, company has marked its presence in 22 countries and covers more than 1 million restaurants. Well! Zomato is no mood to retard its growth and is hoping be at par with global players present in North America. “We recently launched in Toronto and are receiving tough completion already. Yet we are hopeful and ready to compete through the quality and completeness of the information we provide; something unique to us and which differentiates us from rest” says Deepinder in an interview with Mint. The company is developing strategy to invest $50 million more in US market and get into the game. Undoubtedly, Zomato has evolved itself to be India’s first global application and yet does not wish to sit back and relax.
