I summarized these #10 5G Learned Lessons from #5G_Asia and RCRWireless report about this big event
1- Operators should focus on replacing their legacy networks to pave the way to all IP networks, with new IT infrastructure rather than telco components.
2- A standalone 5G network requires a much more IT-centric approach to can support different use cases and automatically provisioning networks.
3- CUPS, Virtualisation, and Cloudification are the secret keys to migration the Core Network.
4- Seamless SIM activation is mandatory when upgrading to new G.
5- Bringing data center to the edge and going to cloud transformation will help some functions happen as needed with no manual intervention.
6- 5G isn’t just about the radio access network, It’s about virtualization, artificial intelligence, machine learning, the internet of things and enterprise enablement.
7- If you want to go fast, certainly go alone. If you want to go far, go together. So Open Souce Software is another secret Key.
8- Open RAN is the start of the business transformation of the industry.
9- A cloud-first strategy takes cost out of 5G.
10- Creating new use cases will solve the world’s problems and will monetize the 5G Network.
