Building a cloud native core for a 5G world

Moreover, 5G will be a key enabler in transforming our economy and society by providing connectivity in three broad areas:

• Extreme mobile broadband: Continuing subscriber demand for better mobile broadband experiences is encouraging the telecommunications industry to examine how networks can meet future extreme capacity and performance demands
• Massive machine communication: The Internet of Things (IoT) needs secure communication between billions of sensors and machines and the core network
• Critical machine communication: Ultra-reliable low latency communication will be increasingly required for the immediate control of robots and virtual reality/augmented reality services.

To meet all these needs, 5G core networks must be based on a cloud native core that offers the flexibility, responsiveness and adaptability to meet the high speed, low latency demands of a business environment that will come to depend on 5G.
