5G vendors’ capabilities differ across the three 5G core use cases that lay the foundation for technology success. CSP CIOs can use this research to select a vendor with capabilities that best match their 5G core requirements and sourcing strategies.
Communications service providers (CSPs) are implementing the new 5G core to fully harness the capabilities of 5G technology, facilitate innovative use cases, and ensure a seamless transition. CSPs are also capitalizing on monetization opportunities across different access types like 3G, 4G, etc.
Beyond consumer applications, enterprises are increasingly leveraging 5G networks to meet their specific connectivity requirements, especially through network slicing and private mobile networks, resulting in new demands for 5G core solutions.
The transition to cloud-native and service-based architecture (SBA) in the 5G core domain brings clear benefits like scalability, faster time to market, efficient resource use
