Goals and key takeaways
- Share the message that open source projects now provide all the necessary building blocks for modern 5G networks.
- Show the value of each open source project in the context of a 5G network service.
- Encourage end users (operators, system integrators, vendors) to adopt more open source components in their solutions, from the LFN and broader open source scene.
- Suggest how projects may be integrated while leaving enough flexibility to other integration approaches.
- ....
Target audience
- System designers/consultants/architects who would like to understand how open source can be leveraged when building networks for:
- Operators
- Enterprise (private 5G)
- Industry 4.0
- ....
- Operators and enterprises who plan to deploy 5G networks and would like to learn how to benefit from the security, maturity and efficiency of open source software.
- ...
