Automating the lifecycle of the 5G core

The key objective of 5G is to enable new monetization avenues beyond the traditional connectivity business model. Service providers should think of their networks as a platform that can provide 5G “network as a service” capabilities on which various outcome-based business models and applications are built and delivered across multiple verticals and industries. And at the heart of this “network as a service” platform is the 5G SA core.

The SA core must be built using true cloud-native principles, so the complexity of its architecture presents major challenges. The many different virtual network functions must be deployed, configured, and managed in a tightly coordinated manner. This can be a daunting task for service providers, who are already struggling to keep up with the pace of change in the telecom industry.

Automating the deployment, configuration, and management of the 5G SA core can help to overcome these challenges while reducing costs, improving efficiency, and accelerating time to market. Watch this session to get a better understanding of what’s required to make all the new monetization use cases a reality while driving sustainable operational efficiencies.
