• Video traffic and fixed wireless
access drive bandwidth
• Massive sensor networks need scale,
dense networks and traffic isolation
• Real-time control requires ultra-low
latency and local processing
• Fast service innovation demands
software-defined agility and flexibility
Service opportunities/requirements
New services result in a range of new network requirements

Need to avoid building three different networks
Different mobile use cases – different architectures
Optimum location and type of function may vary
Legacy – 4G/5G services
Ultra-reliable low latency
Enterprise-based / campus networks
High reliability, lower latency
Enhanced mobile broadband
Residential and mobile customers
Higher speeds, large volumes

Virtualization for programmatic activation of mobile network slices
Making 5G fit for purpose
HW-defined networks cannot meet
customer-/market-specific requirements
MNOs frequently do not own assets for
installing a high number of additional cell
sites
Slow manual processes do not meet
agility requirements of enterprise-centric
5G services
NFV and open multi-vendor
ecosystem
Wholesale model for
connectivity and hosting
