Service performance visibility: a lynchpin to enabling enterprise 5G

Of the many ways in which 5G differs from the mobile technologies preceding it, one stands out in particular: a tight focus on enabling enterprise use cases. The logic of targeting the enterprise is straightforward: digital transformation is critical for any enterprise looking to compete today and in the future. To this end, it should represent a new revenue opportunity for operators that can leverage 5G capabilities (e.g. ultra-reliable, low-latency connections, network slicing and massive IoT connectivity) in support of enterprise demand.

Beyond technical capabilities, however, designing and selling services into any enterprise with specific performance demands will require new ways of planning and assuring services, and an ability to accurately visualise network and service performance.
