The increase in high bandwidth applications such as streaming, gaming, social media, and video conferencing places enormous demands on telco networks. Traditional network architectures are struggling to keep up with the exponential growth in data traffic, demand for low-latency services, and the emergence of new technologies like 5G and edge computing.
Telcos are undergoing major transformation as continuing to build and operate networks in the traditional way is becoming increasingly challenging, both financially and operationally. Although operators are building out new network capacity, scaling operations, and investing in software and hardware upgrades, they are still expected to deliver a better and more performant network without increasing their price to subscribers.
To deploy a more agile, efficient, and scalable network infrastructure, telcos are accelerating the migration and modernization of their networks to take advantage of the agility, elasticity, and cost savings of the cloud. Cloud-native 5G infrastructure is paramount as telecom providers seek to leverage the full potential of next-generation networks. Such architecture offers the flexibility, scalability, and efficiency to support advanced 5G use cases and emerging technologies.
