5G Standalone Core is here - will you embrace it or be left to stand alone?

Market leaders are accelerating 5G Core deployments

Why are market leaders accelerating 5G Core deployments? To provide new service offerings, greater agility, and lower costs, which is why more than 40 leading service providers have commercially launched 5G Standalone (SA) Core, 115 more are planning to upgrade in the next 12-24 months, and over 1,400 5G SA-compatible devices are already available. ?? Discover the 5G Core's role in lowering costs for service providers and how testing is fostering that objective.

Benefits abound on the road to next-gen rollouts

They say time is money, so a slow adoption of the 5G Core could mean missing out on billions in new revenue. It isn't just revenue that's at stake. Successful deployment of automation enabled by 5G Standalone's cloud architecture could lead to millions in cost reductions and efficiency savings. Listen to Heavy Reading Principal Analyst Ruth Brown and Spirent's Stephen Douglas and Chris O'Loughlin discuss why 5G leaders are adopting automation and "as a service" models to reinvent testing for the 5G cloud.

Deconstructing arguments for 5G Core delay

Technical, operational and security challenges, mixed with an unclear line-of-sight to revenue-generating use cases are often cited as reasons to delay 5G Standalone Core deployment. But it may not pay to wait. The 5G Standalone Core has a foundational role for New Telecom which is why the challenges are being addressed now to unleash the full potential of 5G.
