62% of operators believe the combination of access and cloud assets enables them to offer superior 5G performance guarantees as compared to public cloud providers

This white paper, from Heavy Reading Principal Analyst Gabriel Brown, draws on the results of a survey with more than 100 mobile operator respondents and discusses:

  • Commercializing 5G services at scale, and how to keep pace with performance monitoring that assures stringent SLA requirements are met
  • Why control of access networks and distributed cloud assets gives operators a sustainable competitive advantage versus public cloud platforms
  • When operators expect to introduce fully-fledged network slicing, and the importance of managing SLAs and KPIs associated with the delivery of services via those network slices
  • The importance of complete, real-time visibility of every link in the service delivery chain – at both a network and an application level – as well as better visibility into connectivity with application and cloud-hosting companies and CDNs
