“5G business potential”, Ericsson & Arthur D. Little predict
that 5G will drive 13.6% annual revenue growth for CSPs up
to 2026 for a total opportunity of ~$1.6 trillion.
5G use cases discussions are framed
by three main scenarios:
• Enhanced mobile broadband: Capacity
enhancement
• Low latency: Ultra-high reliability & low
latency
• Massive IoT: Massive connectivity
*TMForum 2018 5G report: https://inform.tmforum.org/research-reports/5g-monetization-operational-imperatives/
The 5G momentum and expectations
are building, it is still a long way to go
before it is a close mainstream: 44%
of CSPs surveyed intend to launch 5G
in within the next two years.

5G technology flexibility is designed & supported by Virtualization,
NR and Network Slicing. Those are the foundations of flexibility,
solving many problems and creating service differentiation.
But they throw huge
challenges and
complexity to the
applications &
operations systems
that make it running
and monetized.
Human capabilities
should be enhanced
with AI/ML to deal
with such complexity
and massive data
analysis.

• (9)Applications operations, Business AI
process operations: Massive numbers
and low latency directs operations to be
built-in based on AI engines. No human
capability to manage such complexity.
Still human driven AI is essential for
continuous business variables change in
AI engines.

• Taking the raw technical capabilities and
creating applications & functionalities to
match connectivity to what is required for
specific features controlled by application
& customer
• Network planning & optimization to
become closely coupled & with near real-
time function requirement
• Product conception, fulfillment &
provisioning as and E2E process with near
real-time accountability
• Network management changes to hybrid
scenarios (physical, virtual) on multiple
domains
• Service assurance should handle huge
increase of data and coming now bi-
directional from the network & the user.
Open Digital Architecture (ODA) requirements to deal with
5G massive scenario:
• Application management with Security
and Privacy by design, with E2E
automation & AI powering the human
capabilities
• From Business process operations to
Application management on a E2E Lean &
Agile methodology, automated and
powered by DevSecOps pipeline
• Microservices & APIs on the basis of Cloud
Native Applications (development &
operation) and the target for Applications
Modernization
• Intelligent operations, Next Gen Business
process operations. AI/ML algorithms
laying on massive data processing
• Business Agility KPIs, E2E perspective per
service/product continuous revenue
