The true 5G revenue opportunity lies in nascent enterprise use cases such as network slicing. But sadly, most of today’s telco business support systems aren’t ready for a truly 5G future. They lack the ability to:

• Support low latency, real-time processing
• Meet 5G standards and adopt open frameworks

But to unlock these new growth engines, most companies are going to need to significantly revamp their tech stacks and change the way they approach key telco technologies, such as billing and charging systems. This joint report with STL Partners highlights the challenges today’s telcos face in monetizing 5G and the specific steps they can start to take, right now, to best prep their IT architectures for success in the 5G age.
