Explained: What Makes 5G So Complex?
People are saying 5G networks are so much more complex than previous generations of mobile networks like LTE and 4G, but what is it about 5G that makes it so complex?
For starters, managing network functions in the past meant working with dedicated hardware appliances that operated in predictable ways. However, now with 5G, functions can exist as virtualized software running on standard servers managed like any other cloud, bringing a whole new level of complexity.
And that’s only one of the changes that needs to be considered when thinking about assuring 5G network performance! Add to that disaggregation, security, and dynamic software models and you start to get a sense of why 5G complexity causes so much head scratching.
Take a closer look at what makes 5G networks so complex and how you can unlock the potential of 5G.
