What's the best 5G deployment method for operators? It depends on what they want to achieve. 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) deployment is currently the most viable option to swiftly launch new services with low CAPEX. However, to enable high-value 5G use cases such as eMBB, massive IoT, AR/VR, and others, 5G Standalone (SA) is the ideal long-term route.

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.
