Smart cities, Industry 4.0, remote surgery, immersive gaming and virtual reality are all examples of applications that 5G standalone promises to take to a new, unprecedented level. With massive speed, ultra-low latency and network slicing, 5G SA will enable new use cases and business models for both consumers and enterprises.
However, the transition to 5G SA is no small feat. It requires massive investments in spectrum, antennas and a brand new core network. Operators will need to completely transform their operating model and acquire new skills. Small operators may not be able to see today how they can make a return on such massive investments.
For this whitepaper, we interviewed several telecom operators: they expressed their expectations for 5G, but also their concerns and what hinders their transformation. This led us to imagine a new solution. We are convinced that a new cloud-based model could alleviate some of these challenges and accelerate the introduction of 5G SA, while aligning costs with the rate of adoption in your market.
In this white paper, you will find :
