Will 5G Break the Cloud?

Date: 7th December
Time: 3pm UK Time

As 5G emerges from initial coverage deployments into adolescence, the urgency to identify new revenue opportunities has intensified. Gaming, AR/VR, video content and security surveillance headline an array of “hot prospects” under consideration. Delivering the performance and latency to power these next-gen services will require 5G to fully embrace its cloud architecture and will also place unprecedented demands on an array of telco, public/private and edge clouds.

Join Justin van der Lande, applications research director for Analysys Mason’s Telecoms Software and Networks group; Aloke Tusnial, vice president of Cloud Solutions at Spirent; and Stephen Douglas, head of Market Strategy for Spirent, as they explore the complex intersection of 5G and cloud technologies and answer the question: Will 5G break the cloud?

This webinar will cover:

• How performance and latency requirements for new 5G services will stress telco, public/private and edge clouds
• What it means for 5G to go cloud-native and the major testing headaches it brings
• Why visibility across different types of clouds is so critical for 5G and what failure to address it could mean
• How the move to edge services exacerbates this visibility challenge
• New test and assurance techniques and CICD practices to improve visibility and ensure the cloud delivers the performance 5G needs
