Over 70 percent of mobile operators believe that ownership of access networks and edge cloud infrastructure will give them a competitive advantage over public cloud providers in the 5G era.
According to a survey conducted by Heavy Reading, for Accedian, found that more than half of mobile operators expect to introduce network slicing within two years of commercial 5G launch, and over a longer timeframe.
Another 61 percent will have “extensively deployed” network slicing. By harnessing access and mobile edge ownership, and new networking slicing capabilities, operators can guarantee and monetize new levels of customer experience.
