5G

The rising number of connected devices and data demands are putting a significant strain on network infrastructure. AI-native networks, especially those using agentic AI, are addressing these challenges by implementing…

The Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona set an optimistic tone for the telco industry, marking what many are calling a “halftime” for 5G. In an interesting discussion with…

The telecommunications industry stands at a pivotal crossroads in 2025 where traditional strategic planning meets artificial intelligence capabilities. With global telecom revenue exceeding $1.7 trillion annually, operators face unprecedented challenges…

The race for AI dominance is impacting every sector, and the telecommunications industry is uniquely positioned at the intersection of this technological revolution. Tech giants are pouring billions into Large…

6G represents a significant evolution beyond 5G, with the potential to be truly transformative. By learning from the challenges and limitations of 5G, the industry can take a more strategic and business-focused approach to 6G development and deployment, maximizing its potential to create value and drive innovation

The convergence of AI and RAN technology as highlighted in the last blog – https://www.vamsitalkstech.com/ai/is-ai-ran-the-telcos-333b-opportunity/  marks a turning point for the telecommunications sector and not just a technological advancement. SoftBank’s…

s telcos and other CSPs begin moving to 5G RAN and 5G Core deployments, these are overwhelmingly based on Cloud-native microservice architectures, REST APIs, Kubernetes-based containers, and NoSQL databases for stateless architecture are commonly implemented in telecom networks. With this blog, we begin discussing life cycle management of 5G networks.

Prior to the advent of K8s and Cloud-Native functions, network functions (NFs) were primarily deployed by CSPs as a combination of physical appliances and some VMs.

To break this out into numbers, a typical CSP will deploy hundreds of thousands of network services as virtual network functions (VNFs) or CNFs. VNFs will run in virtual machines that can optionally be run inside a Kubernetes distribution.

Automakers, OEMs and ISVs are now realizing that cars are moving to a cloud native future. While 5G promises huge advances in business models, monetizing car data means investing in connectivity and software applications.
