The 5G core is essential to enable standalone (SA) operation in the 5G system. Operators are currently designing and deploying new core network architectures using cloud native technologies and operating models. This investment will have deep and broad implications for operator services and the wider mobile ecosystem.

This webinar presents the key findings from the second annual Heavy Reading Cloud Native 5G Core Operator Survey. Heavy Reading’s senior principal analyst for mobile networks will lead a panel to discuss and analyse the results of the 2022 survey, with guest speakers from AMD, F5, Oracle and Red Hat contributing expert insight and opinion.

Among the topics to be discussed include:

• The impact of 5G core on services and customer experience
• 4G to 5G core migration strategies and common 4G/5G core networks
• Cloud infrastructure choices for 5G core (IaaS vs PaaS vs vendor stack)
• CI/CD/CT tools and operations
• The outlook for edge services and distributed 5G core
