This document discusses the digital transformation of telecommunication networks through new technologies like NFV/SDN. It covers several topics:
1. The evolution of networks from 4G to 4.5G to 5G and the transition to virtualized platforms.
2. Scenarios driving network transformation like the internet of things and tactile internet that will require networks to support higher data rates, lower latency, and more connections.
3. The challenges of planning networks to support new technologies and services while balancing costs and optimizing resources.
