Key enablers

Cloud infrastructure
The underlying cloud infrastructure needs to evolve in multiple dimensions. First, it must support a cost-efficient evolution from today’s virtual core networks to manage a cloud native network. Secondly, it must support a wide range of deployment options: central, edge and deep edge deployments are needed to enable low-latency and edge computing use cases. Cloud infrastructure should also be system verified with network functions and the management and orchestration layer for optimal TCO.
Network automation
Everything 5G, especially 5G Core networks, must be automated. Automation is required to handle the magnitude of tailor-made services and network slices that will be introduced with 5G. To manually or semi-automate all parts of the network is not feasible if SLAs are to be sustained. To keep up with latest software releases, it’s imperative to have a CI/CD mindset. The faster the latest network capabilities can be introduced, the faster new differentiating services can be rolled out and monetized.
