In the traditional telecoms environment, red lights in the network operation centre (NOC) were sufficient to warn operators of a network performance issue. However, as services have become more complex than simple network connectivity and as network architectures increasingly involve different types of network technology, a red light on a console warning of poor performance or failure of a specific network element is of little use in identifying service affecting issues or the root cause of an issue.

The future of mobile communications is likely to be very different to today’s experiences, with 5G connectivity affecting huge areas of our lives. 5G networks will offer data speeds in excess of 10 Gbps, extreme low latency and ultra-reliable connections in a secured and trusted environment with greater privacy compared to today’s networks.
Moreover, 5G will be a key enabler in transforming our economy and society by providing connectivity in three broad areas:
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.
