More operators are implementing 5G globally, and the race is on to drive returns on these investments. 5G undoubtedly unlocks new and unique opportunities for revenue generation. To fully seize this monetization potential, operators need to reimagine their charging infrastructure. The policy control function (PCF) and charging function (CHF) enable operators to accurately charge for all the granular and advanced services they can introduce with next-gen networks. The 5G PCF governs network resources in entirely new ways, across devices, radio, and the core network. The 5G CHF evolves business operations and helps implement innovative service monetization methods. This powerful combination lets operators support advanced 5G use cases. 5G policy control and charging provide a host of advanced features, such as cloud-native and microservices-based open architecture, support for complex B2B2X partnerships and business models, real-time charging capabilities based on different parameters (QoS, access network, SLA), and more.

Alepo's 5G Core (5GC) enables operators to rapidly launch 5G use cases while continuing to support their 4G services. Alepo's solution provides a unified platform to manage 4G (EPC, IMS), C-IoT, and non-3GPP networks like WiFi alongside 5G. So, operators can shift to a fully virtualized service-based environment using one solution to support LTE as well as 5G. The cloud-native solution has one of the lowest resource footprints in the industry. It provides key 5GC components, including SDM (AUSF, UDM+HSS, UDR) and converged policy control (PCF+PCRF). The modular and scalable microservice-based architecture is 3GPP standards-compliant, ensuring operators can upgrade to a next-generation network without disrupting existing services. Alepo's 5GC lets operators of all sizes swiftly introduce next-gen capabilities. It is also beneficial for operators who want to deploy private enterprise networks for diverse industry applications.

From low latency, ultrafast speeds, and high bandwidth to support for massive volumes of connected devices, 5G provides transformative features. These advanced features demand new and innovative charging capabilities to ensure that all 5G services are properly monetized. 5G use cases demand that operators implement a platform to accurately charge across a large number of services, devices, and different event types. Next-generation charging and policy control engines bring fundamental changes the underlying monetization architecture that help support 5G's network scalability and performance needs. The Charging Function (CHF) lets operators charge for everything. It supports complex business models such as B2B2X for multiple parties, and enables real-time charging for various types of events. The Policy Control Function (PCF) enables end-to-end policy management. It lets operators implement slice-based policies for highly specific applications, supporting innovation and providing advanced analytics for highly contextual ad personalized services.

One of the key transformational changes that 5G brings is that it upgrades traditional telecom network infrastructure to Service-Based Architecture (SBA). SBA introduced modularity into the network, enabling swifter and more flexible service development. It enables any third-party application to securely interact with 5G NFs, supporting a host of next-gen use cases.

Subscriber Data Management (SDM) helps mobile network operators make a swift and easy transition to 5G. It is at the heart of the 5G Core, helping launch high-value next-gen use cases while continuing to support their 4G services. The 5G core (5GC) market is gaining momentum and is set to grow significantly over the next few years. It introduces service-based and cloud-native architecture, equipping operators to implement next-gen infrastructure that prepares their networks for the future. With these capabilities, they can launch disruptive network paradigms. 5GC helps support use cases such as network slicing, private networks, advanced partnerships, innovative business models, fixed wireless services, and more, helping operators drive revenue. Alepo's Subscriber Data Management Solution enables unified subscriber access management. The 3GPP-compliant solution provides a low resource footprint. In this webinar, Alepo's expert panelists discuss how SDM helps manage the network upgrade path, 5GC ROI opportunities, and give a demo of the Alepo SDM platform.
