Getting to the 5G future requires much more than just upgrading existing networks. Operators need a cohesive roadmap for moving to a virtualized, software-defined infrastructure. Operational excellence will be hinged on OSS/BSS transformation to take advantage of automation and real-time data analysis.
To translate those investments into new service revenue, operators must take a whole new approach to flexible creation of new services. And effectively executing on the aforementioned imperatives also requires a workforce transformation focused on developing new skill sets and the ability to rapidly allocate expertise.
