To drive returns on 5G investments, CSPs need to ensure they can support advanced next-gen use cases. Most 5G applications demand millisecond response. Subscriber Data Management (SDM) facilitates this by providing a streamlined, centralized, high-performing system to store and process data. SDM helps telecom operators make a smooth transition to 5G. At the heart of the 5G Core, it provides a unified platform to support 4G and 5G data. How does it work and what benefits does it afford to network operators? Download the whitepaper: https://bit.ly/35JBcIg #5GCore #telecommunications #SubscriberManagement #sdm #5g #5gtechnology

Operators are making massive network investments to roll out 5G. No doubt, 5G provides a huge opportunity for innovative ideas, services, and business models. But what revenue streams will ensure that CSPs can swiftly derive ROI? The consumer segment holds massive monetization potential, from high-speed offerings to last-mile connectivity. Operators can leverage data to provide unique and personalized experiences. Private networks have the potential to revolutionize the enterprise segment. They will help transform business operations and support a host of advanced use cases across industries. Operators can build a diverse ecosystem of partnerships, supported by new B2B, B2C, and B2B2X business models. Finally, building dedicated slices will help optimize the use of network resources, benefiting both the customer and service provider. How can telcos get the most out of these revenue sources and how can the 5G Core help?

5G is set to revolutionize networks, and some operators are already reaping the benefits of an early 5G rollout. How can the rest follow suit? Though there have been significant developments in next-gen technology, operators still have several concerns in implementing 5G. Massive investments, spectrum unavailability, few supported devices in the market, and a host of infrastructural complications are some of the things holding them back.

For many years, WiFi networks have been augmenting legacy cellular networks. They've help extend connectivity in spaces where cellular coverage wasn't possible. They've also provided a host of revenue-driving benefits for service providers with use cases like WiFi offload, VoWiFi, and the opportunity to partner with affiliates and businesses. Is private 5G set to change that? Private 5G is designed for custom enterprise use cases that require high bandwidth, speeds, reliability, and ultra-low latency over a dedicated and secure network. It can be deployed in manufacturing units, stores, malls, parking lots, and much more. Private 5G provides certain advantages that far exceed those of WiFi, especially in larger and/or outdoor venues. But the new-generation WiFi 6 is a worthy contender. It enables more efficient networks for multiuser access, support for existing WiFi-enabled devices, and the advantage of being an incumbent and easy-to-use technology. Service providers and their customers stand to benefit from both technologies - even by using them in tandem.

5G has massive innovation and monetization potential for service providers. The key to unlocking this potential is to implement a robust digital Business Support System (BSS). A digital BSS helps operators implement innovative business models. In fact, it's beneficial to modernize this infrastructure even before rolling out 5G, as it lets operators implement and monetize key 5G use cases even on previous-generation networks. A digital BSS overcomes the limitations of legacy BSS, helping service providers meet evolving customer demand for more digital services. It not only lets CSPs introduce differentiated services but also automate business processes. The digital BSS also provides an elastic, modern, and convergent system that can be virtualized. It also supports 5G capabilities such as real-time rating, metering, and charging for advanced digital services, monetization models like partner settlements (B2B2X), and more. Its top benefits include: ✔️ Phase-wise or rapid deployments ✔️ Accelerated monetization of use cases ✔️ Centralized product catalog management ✔️ Improved CRM ✔️ Efficient revenue management ✔️ Enhanced partner management ✔️ Automated omnichannel support Read the full blog post to learn about these benefits in more detail: https://bit.ly/3NTDmpc

Alepo's Unified Data Repository (UDR) is a centralized database that stores 5G-related subscription profiles, policy data, application data, and exposure data.

To wisely capitalize on the monetization possibilities 5G brings, CSPs must focus on these top enablers: business models, partnerships, innovations, and network architectures.
