5G Super Blueprint Whitepaper
- Ranny Haiby
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.
