Cloud-native telecom networks are all about agility and functionality, and operators around the world are increasingly architecting their 5G cores in the cloud as they move to cloud-native, 5G Standalone systems.
According to the GSA, 60 operators worldwide have launched 5G Standalone as of September 2024, and a total of 143 have been identified as investing in 5G SA— which means that more operators are in the stage of evaluation, testing, pilots and planning for 5G SA than have yet launched the technology. This, therefore, is a crucial period for using testing to chart the most effective and efficient path to cloud-native 5G core.
