5G Transformation with Open Source – 2020 Spotlight Series
Sep 08, 2020 to Sep 09, 2020 | Virtual
5G is transforming the network in two distinct and equally important ways. On the application front, 5G needs to support massive IoT, latency sensitive edge applications and mission critical functions. On the other hand, 5G infrastructure needs to deliver desperately needed CAPEX/OPEX and spectral efficiencies while disaggregating the network (both hardware and software) to allow for the democratization of the network so new entrants can innovate and bring forward new disruptive solutions.
While organizations like O-RAN and 3GPP are driving standardization of disaggregated architectures, history has shown that applying SDN design principles and creating open source implementations for components of the disaggregated architecture will serve as major drivers for innovation, enabling both technological and business transformation.
The 5G Transformation with Open Source Spotlight will take a deeper look at the various open source initiatives being implemented across both the RAN and Core mobile ecosystems, highlighting innovative disaggregated architectures that are being researched and pursued, and providing perspective and insight into the business impact of this massive transformation taking place across the mobile ecosystem.
This forum will include exciting live keynotes as well as an extensive list of on-demand panels and presentations by industry experts. Don’t miss this exciting event.
