Cloud Native State of the Industry: Where Are We and Where Are We Going?
Cloud-Native 5G refers to a 5G network deployed over various cloud architectures. Cloudification of the network allows Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to design and run scalable networks in modern and dynamic environments. In addition to being scalable and flexible, they present the opportunity for CSPs to generate savings which is very important at a time when the industry is looking to capitalize on their 5G investments. During this session, speakers will delve into the state of cloud native 5G deployments and they will examine the adoption of cloud native technologies and discuss the various opportunities and challenges relating to 5G cloudification.

Exploring New Revenue Streams with Cloud Native 5G.
5G Monetization is a buzz word (or words) in the telecommunications industry currently. After heavy investment in 5G architecture, CSPs are keen to see ROI on their investments. Cloud native 5G is a monetization strategy in of itself. The flexibility and scalability of the cloud native 5G networks not only allows CSPs to cut back on CAPEX costs, but it also generates the opportunities for new revenue streams to be explored. During this session, speakers will examine innovative strategies and use cases which leverage cloud native 5G to drive market differentiations and deliver enhanced value to customers.
