Why is dynamic NF placement essential for successful 5G?

New research by AvidThink sponsored by Amdocs, explores the drivers and challenges of dynamic network functions (NF) placement and proposes a pragmatic three-phase approach for the service provider journey to autonomous NF placement.

NF placement optimization in a dynamically-changing mobile network environment is challenging. It’s even more complex for 5G, given the need to guarantee QoS for slice-based services.

As service providers build out their 5G core and populate the RAN with 5G new radio, this is the right time to update NF orchestration to enable tomorrow’s next generation services.
