Strategic TCO aspects to accelerate 5G Core deployment

Explore Omdia's report with insights from CSPs


Are you striving to achieve business success while managing the costs for your core network investments?

A new report jointly published by Omdia, a global analyst and advisory company, and Ericsson reveals that opting for a full-stack 5G Core solution can reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 25 percent compared to multi-vendor deployments.

This report, based on a survey of 50 respondents from communication service providers (CSPs), offers valuable insights to help CSPs make informed decisions about deploying and configuring a cost-efficient 5G Core network architecture.

Key highlights include:

  • Larger CSPs are increasingly choosing single-vendor solutions to avoid the complexities of multi-vendor deployments.
  • Respondents from larger CSPs anticipate 16 percent to 25 percent TCO savings with a single-vendor full-stack solution, while those from small-to-medium companies expect savings between 10 percent and 20 percent.
  • Both groups agree that reducing infrastructure costs is the primary driver for savings when implementing a combined 4G/5G Core. Notably, 48 percent of large operators foresee over 20 percent CAPEX savings with this approach.
