Network silos are killing communication service providers. These businesses struggle to manage the network core, Radio Access Network (RAN), fiber, copper, satellite, undersea cables, and other legacy and new services.

For CSPs to survive and prosper, these multiple, separate networks need to be combined into a “smart cloud," which is a holistic, unified and singular network that is automated and programmable with APIs. This smart cloud also leverages AI and open RAN with SD-WAN as an intelligent overlay and 5G tying it all together. But how do CSPs monetize this smart cloud that relies on 5G?

The future is at the edge in business-to-business applications such as smart factories, agriculture, and intelligent aircraft, trains and cars. By leveraging 5G, CSPs can transform disparate networks into a cohesive ecosystem, enabling advanced capabilities such as predictive maintenance, remote monitoring, and autonomous operations that facilitate innovation and growth and unlock value for network providers and their customers.
