5G 코어 네트워크 및 엣지 네트워크

Our 5G Core & Edge Networks coverage, which includes data, trend, and forecast reports, provides industry-leading research and advisory on the transformation of the mobile service provider into a digital company. Topics include telco SDN, NFV, MEC, ML/AI and a sharp focus on business and operational transformation issues in addition to technical coverage. The activities and implications of external developer ecosystems and open source projects are also covered, as well as their effect on the telecom infrastructure value chain. ABI Research provides visibility into the Mobile Service Provider (MSP) digital transformation and the need for MSPs to develop an UnTelco approach (i.e. business models beyond connectivity) as part of its strategy. This includes MSPs initiatives beyond traditional services, MSPs strategies and activities by vertical, new and upcoming technologies from private LTE to 5G to serve end-markets, MSPs approach to generating new revenue streams, challenges and roadblocks in the MSP transformation journey, and the wider ecosystem reaction to MSPs' transformation.
