Architecture is the foundation for versatile networks

Future network architecture

Today’s mobile networks are used across several areass both within society but also in mission and business scenarios thanks to its versatility. This versatility is achievd though a solid architecture enabling this versatility. Horizontalization is used to leverage the programmability of the network and to enable exposure of network capabilities.

The 5G network is the largest platform ever for innovation which will be further manifested by 6G in the  continued digitalization of society-, business- and mission critical communication. This will extend to exposure  of network capabilities through network APIs on a global scale.

Network Capabilities

The versatile use of network require that network capabilities evolve to handle autonomous operations leveraging AI. At the same time differentiated services offered requires stricter SLA functionality. All while security challenges increase.
