Operators are facing challenges along multiple vectors with the complementary yet distinct transitions to Standalone 5G, disaggregated network systems, and cloud-native operations. At the same time, there are multiple vectors of opportunity to leverage network investments into new service revenue streams. A key piece of aligning the reality of 5G with the hype it has generated is E2E orchestration of both the network and of services, according to Alla Goldner, director of technology, strategy and standardization with Amdocs.
“This all together into the same picture actually brings you the critical technology enablement from one side and, from the other side, a demand for those new on-demand services,” Goldner said in an interview.
