Looking to build your 5G network faster, leverage your existing network, maintain customer experience, and operate with less complexity? Performance management is foundational in order to successfully evolve your 4G network to 5G non-standalone (NSA) and standalone access (SA).

In this 30-minute webinar, Accedian’s VP of Products, Tom Foottit, will discuss how performance management can help operators to make the transition, while preserving customer and service experience throughout the journey. Tom will cover: 

  • The 5G new radio and the 4G network: how to assure the 4G backhaul network plus new cross interconnects for gNB (next-generation NodeB) and small cells 
  • Why mesh performance is important for each class of service and first generation multi-access edge compute (MEC) 
  • A brief introduction to the 5G core network and why performance monitoring will be critical
  • How automated AI and machine learning support MEC and virtual network function (VNF) orchestration that will enable on-demand containerized services

Listen back to the replay!
