Developing Achievable SLAs for 5G Private Networks

Date: Wednesday, April 26, 2023
Time: 11:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time

The global rollout of 5G, growing availability of edge computing, and enhanced automation offers enterprises of all sizes, government, academic institutions, and more, with the prospect of unprecedented agility and control through Private Networks. The ability to tailor the network to specific application environments offers a compelling value proposition. However, the many technologies (e.g., 5G, 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi, etc.), deployment models, commercial models, and vendors, necessitate a rethinking of Service-Level Management. Enterprises must enforce not only performance KPIs, but availability and security as well.

Join experts Darius Singh, Private Networks Lead for STL Partners, and Marc Cohn, Private Networks Lead for Spirent, as they explain the key drivers for Private Networks, share the findings from a survey of hundreds of market participants, and describe how to validate new SLAs in the lab and monitor them in the live network.

The webinar will cover the following topics:

• An introduction to Private Networking
• Results from the survey of enterprises from multiple verticals
• Findings from in-depth interviews from a diverse cross-section of Private Networking industry players
• Why SLAs are so important and what enterprises are looking for
• How to validate SLAs to ensure guarantees can be achieved and network downtime, user experience degradation, and cost penalties may be avoided
• How to monitor SLAs in complex, hybrid network deployments
