5G’s lower latency and higher bandwidth are unlocking newer uses for enterprises to explore. Additionally, 5G adoption is enabling the rapid scalability of network infrastructure, driving higher levels of customization, and reducing operating costs.

Enterprises are exploring various initiatives, including the decoupling of hardware and software through network function virtualization, automating network operations, adopting open-source components (hardware and software), and exploring monetization opportunities. However, the market’s nascency is creating uncertainty and increasing complexities for enterprises.

Therefore, they are looking to partner with providers to share development risks, reduce operational costs, implement system integration measures, access a larger talent pool, and leverage the expertise of their partner ecosystem to engineer solutions faster.
