This report by Appledore outlines what is needed to make 5G a real success for CSPs, and how we can avoid 5G becoming yet one more over-hyped technology. It also examines how IBM Cloud Pak® for Network Automation, underpinned by Red Hat® OpenShift, can revolutionize the way services are designed and delivered, and how CSPs can maximize their opportunities with 5G.

As Communications Service Providers (CSPs) evolve toward cloud-native networks, they are demanding a unified platform that can deliver consistent operations across physical network functions (PNFs), virtualized network functions (VNFs), and containerized cloud-native network functions (CNFs). This analyst paper from Omdia explains why AI-powered automation becomes critical to achieving the agility, flexibility, and operational efficiencies expected from network transformation projects.

A foundational aspect of this transformation requires CSPs to adopt a fundamentally new cloud-centric network operations and service delivery model. This model employs distributed computing, virtualization and intelligence platforms (e.g., AI and machine learning) to achieve autonomous operations. This whitepaper from TBR explains why it’s critical to adopt this new network operations model to fully benefit from the opportunities that arise in the digital era.

This presentation will cover various topics impacting in modernization of the OT telecommunications networks – new technologies, and SONET/SDH replacement; new services/applications and the need for IT/OT convergence,  securing the telecoms network, the impact  of 5G, and finally a brief discussion on opportunities from using the telecoms infrastructure to offer commercial services.
