How NaaS is driving the evolution of telco operations
Network-as-a-service (NaaS) is a cloud-based product that offers pay-as-you-go networking services to enterprises, enabling them to reconfigure and manage those services on-demand via APIs. NaaS also simplifies federated service offerings where network operators buy and sell connectivity from each other to fulfill their customers’ requirements globally.
This report explores how, to capture the NaaS opportunity, many communications service providers (CSPs) are undergoing NaaS transformation to engage with customers, partners and ecosystems and to sell services via APIs. From an operations perspective, NaaS requires functions that extend legacy operational support systems (OSS) beyond what they were originally designed to manage. In addition, advanced capabilities are needed to instantiate and manage services end to end as they traverse multiple network domains including mobile, fixed, cloud and hybrid domains.
Read this report to learn more about:
- The current state of the rapidly evolving NaaS market
- What the CAMARA project, GSMA, MEF and TM Forum are doing to deliver standards, guidelines, use cases and best practices around NaaS
- How companies like Vodafone Group and e& are approaching NaaS transformation
- Why multi-domain orchestration and end-to-end service management are crucial to NaaS operations, particularly in a cloud- and AI-driven market.
