Mastering cloud-native network transformation is a must for 5G service delivery


Mastering cloud-native network transformation is a must for 5G service delivery.


⏩ The ability to support service innovation is the key reason for operators to migrate to cloud-native networks

As one European Tier-1 operator told Analysys Mason, “We don’t know what (digital) services will emerge in the future. So we must have an infrastructure that is flexible and agile enough to support anything.” Services will be built using software that is run on the cloud – an IT infrastructure that is becoming distributed to ‘edge’ locations.

Developers are forming different expectations about connectivity now that services are increasingly developed and deployed across multiple cloud sites. Indeed, developers are increasingly intolerant of ‘black box’ networking that is opaque and static, which prevents them from automating network changes in the same way that they remotely manage cloud infrastructure and applications. They must ask network operations teams to make changes, which creates delays in achieving business goals.

⏩ Cloud-native networks enable network capabilities to be programmed through the same API code that digital services use to communicate with each other. The network becomes a peer of the cloud and converges with it. The resulting, seamless network/IT infrastructure-as-code can be manipulated by developers together, rather than as two different and unequal environments.

⏩ A survey of 67 developers, conducted by Analysys Mason in 1Q 2023, found that 73% of developers want access to advanced network APIs to allow them to control quality of service, deploy applications to edge locations according to network performance and to customise connectivity and security features.

⏩ Operators must take three actions to ensure that they have a cloud-native network fit for future services
🔰Deploy a horizontal telecoms cloud that can support multiple functions from multiple vendors
🔰Prepare for cross-functional cloud-native automation
🔰Use the monetisation opportunity presented by the cloud-native 5G environment to drive larger cloud-native goals

Malaysia set to roll out second 5G wholesale network

Malaysia set to roll out second 5G wholesale network The current state of Digital Nasional Berhad's (DNB) leadership does differ from its initial structure. As of today, January 15, 2024: No Chairman: The position of Chairman has been vacant since April 2023, following the resignation of the previous chairman. Two Board Members: Currently, DNB has only two remaining board members. This is significantly smaller than the planned size of the board, which was initially set at seven members. This situation has raised concerns about potential governance issues and a lack of strong leadership at DNB. Some stakeholders argue that the absence of a full board and chairman could hinder the decision-making process and negatively impact the rollout of 5G infrastructure in Malaysia. The government has acknowledged these concerns and has assured the public that they are actively searching for qualified candidates to fill the vacant positions. However, there is no official...

Fewer 5G SA deployments in 2023 - is it still a priority for MNOs?

Fewer 5G SA deployments in 2023 - is it still a priority for MNOs? New research shows a decline in 5G Standalone (SA) deployments compared to 2022, prompting the question: Is 5G SA losing its shine for mobile network operators (MNOs)? The answer is nuanced and varies by market. Here's why: Why 5G SA might be losing momentum: 1. Cost: Implementing 5G SA requires building a dedicated network infrastructure, unlike cost-effective 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) that leverages existing 4G infrastructure. 2. Complexity: Building a robust SA network is resource-intensive and demands careful planning. 3. Customer readiness: Not all markets are at a stage where advanced 5G SA features like VoNR, network slicing, and edge computing are commercially viable. Challenges in the ecosystem: 1. Limited UE support: The current number of UEs with proper 5G SA capabilities is still scarce, making it difficult for MNOs to justify widespread network upgrades ju...
