Early rollouts have shown us how real the 5G market potential is. The enterprise market presents a huge opportunity for service providers to significantly increase revenues and market share, and it’s been estimated that industry digitalization will be a USD 700 billion market by 2030. To enable these new enterprise services and use cases, OSS is key.
However, with 5G the complexity of operating networks will go far beyond what any human can manage. To leverage its full benefits, investing in additional technologies such as Cloud native, orchestration and automation is critical. As an industry, this presents some interesting challenges.
We must embrace these new technologies and make them work together, while establishing new partner ecosystems. The OSS Summit 2020 provides a platform for industry experts to discuss, explore and solve these challenges – together as a community.
What is the OSS Summit?
At the OSS Summit 2020, telecommunications experts and professionals will share recent experiences and discuss the latest industry developments, important topics and use cases. This year’s virtual event will be hosted by British Telecom, running from December 1 to December 3. They’ll also be additional sessions on December 8 and 9 for existing Ericsson orchestration and customer experience and analytics customers. Each daily session will focus on one or more hot topics in OSS, including orchestration, automation and the evolution of OSS strategy.
This year’s theme: unlocking the next generation service experience
We are on the verge entering a 5G-powered world where next generation service experiences are the norm. The essence of mobile communications is being redefined, and it will have a major impact on people, businesses and society.
Ziad Belhadj, Chairman of the summit and Head of Ericsson Orchestration and Fulfilment Sales Support, said: “When we talk about unlocking the next generation service experience, we’re referring to all of the possibilities that 5G enables. In a 5G-powered world, CSPs will have a tremendous opportunity to innovate, to offer new enterprise services across multiples industries and to create new business values. . These service experiences will reshape society as we know it – and OSS will play a key role.”
