5G Core: exploring CSP approaches

5G Core (5GC) networks operating in 5G standalone (5G SA) mode have been the ultimate goal of communications service providers (CSPs) for a long time. Software-based and cloud-native network functions promise a new generation of B2B and B2C services, but the transition to 5G Core has been slow in coming.

TM Forum's recent research shows that core connectivity business for CSPs has not seen significant growth for more than a decade, making service models beyond connectivity imperative. This new report, based on a survey of CSP network decision-makers worldwide, looks at the status of 5G Core deployment as well as the key drivers and challenges.

Read the report to understand:

  • Migration paths to 5G Core networks and potential business strategies
  • Market drivers for 5GC
  • Some of the early operator adopters
  • The technological advantages of 5GC
  • Simple steps to make 5GC strategies happen.
