As telecommunication service providers (SPs) transform their networks, the underlying platform must support both 4G and 5G workloads. Diverse service requirements and increasing demand drive the need for a dual-mode cloud-native 5G core network, where VNFs and CNFs will need to coexist for service providers to provide seamless connectivity.
In this session, we will discuss the challenges SPs face creating a 4G/5G core platform, and how the use of reference architectures and other tools aid in the management of dual-core features, functions and services needed for the deployment, operation and delivery of 5G services.
