CSPs have an opportunity to monetize their 5G SA investments by leveraging network slicing enabled by cloud-native architecture, and 3GPP Release-18 capabilities.
3GPP specifications cover cellular telecommunications technologies, including radio access, core network and service capabilities, which provide a complete system description for mobile telecommunications. The 3GPP specifications also provide hooks for non-radio access to the core network, and for interworking with non-3GPP networks
3GPP defines not only the air interface but also all the protocols and network interfaces that enable the entire mobile system: call and session control, mobility management, service provisioning, etc. Thanks to this approach 3GPP networks can operate in an inter-vendor and inter-operator context. 5G is defined in several phases.
