Now, service providers are eyeing5G Standalone (SA) architectures to finally realize 5G’s full potential. By incorporating the 5G core network, they anticipate new service offerings that willincrease revenues, while greater agility reduces expenses, improves efficiencies, and drivesenergy savings. Why is 5G SA just now being widely adopted in 5G’s journey? Complexity, for starters. Its software-driven, cloud-native and service-based architecture represents a significantdeparture from previous networks. Virtualized network functions are distributed acrossdisaggregated network elements. Yet, service providers see major upside as lower latencies and higher throughputs areincreasingly required by emerging enterprise use cases. Additional benefits include: •Service agility and customization•Enhanced user experiences•Automated network operations and scalability•Spectral, energy, and overhead efficiencies Service providers that have begun deploying a 5G core report 72% power savings, 20% latencyimprovements, and 60% faster service deployments. This eBook highlights the revenue opportunities enabled by 5G core, deployment strategies,challenges to expect, and benefits that await adopters. New RevenueOpportunities in the Air The Everything-as-a-Service(XaaS) use cases target a diverseset of consumers and enterpriseverticals, with revenues expectedto top $400 billion1. Many of the projected use cases dependon the 5G core’s lower and consistentlatency, high throughput, and cloud-nativearchitecture with the most promising earlyexamples including: •Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)as analternative to fiber and satellite access•Ultra-high definition (4K and 8K)video streaming•Cloud gaming, which is anticipatedto be worth $12 billion by 2026•Manufacturing, which is expected todrive more than $113 billion in 5G-relatedrevenues by 2026•Energy and utilities, which could drive$86 billion in revenue by 2030 To successfully monetize consumer services and reducecustomer churn, delivering flawless experiences is a must.This requires monitoring and managing latency andthroughput performance against service level agreements(SLAs) and proactively identifying, isolating, and resolvingissues that occur. Monetizing the consumer Early service opportunities relevant to the consumermarket include mobile cloud gaming, which requireslow, 20-30 ms latency and fixed wireless access, whichrequires relatively low latency (30-40 ms) and highbandwidth (150-300 Mbps). GuaranteeingPerformanceis criticalfor SLA management& monetization. Proactivelyidentifying,isolating & resolvingissues is critical forCustomer Experience& Churn Reduction. Many enterprise use cases, such as process automation andautomotive sensor sharing, are particularly sensitive to performancevariations, requiring a consistently narrow latency range fordesirable performance. Monetizing the enterprise A wider range of enterprise-focused use cases target themanufacturing, finance, transport, and utility markets, with manysupporting process automation that reduces costs and benefitsquality controls. Enterprise revenues are frequently tied to strict service levelagreements (SLAs). To ensure monetization of enterprise use cases,it is critical for key performance indicators (KPIs) to be managedcarefully. Any issues must be identified proactively, then rapidlyisolated and resolved. These use cases bring more stringent latency (<10 ms) and throughputrequirements, with added demands for real-time fraud detection, andprecision monitoring and control. This is compared to augmented andvirtual reality services, which can tolerate 20-40 ms latency but alsorequire 50-120 Mbps bandwidth. •Operational efficiency•Production volume•Capacity utilization(uptime)•Survivability(downtime reduction) network, and up and down protocol stacks, to meet performance andsecurity requirements. 5G is also a dynamic environment, with systemsand services spun up and down and capacities grown and contractedin real time. 5G Standalone Deployment Challenges The 5G core powers exciting business opportunities, while its dynamic,service-based architecture and incorporation of public and privateclouds, unlocks new ways to deploy, operate, and manage networks.These
