5G Factor Video Research Note: Netcracker Digital Platform

For this vignette of a recent episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, part of the 5G Factor series, analysts Ron Westfall and Shelly Kramer break down the new Netcracker Digital Platform unveiled at MWC 2022.

Their conversation highlighted:

How the open, modular, digital-native design of the platform is capable of accelerating the innovation that CSPs require to drive growth and overall business value.

Why support for the 3GPP-compliant 5G converged charging system (CCS) is indispensable to providing SLA-based charging, multi-access edge computing (MEC), and slice-as-a-service (SlaaS) models on a standardized basis.

Netcracker Digital Platform provides a full automation solution for every domain (RAN, MEC, Transport, Core) that now includes Open RAN and MEC Orchestration. One notable differentiator addressed is that Netcracker is providing a complete intelligent Open RAN domain and optimization solution that works across multicloud far edge, near edge, and central data center fabrics.

Ron and Shelly view the new platform can augment CSP objectives to drive new business growth by cultivating new value from rapidly expanding 5G/edge experiences, becoming more essential to their customers’ digital lifestyles and increasing importance to their enterprise/vertical market collaboration goals. This applies specifically to attaining 5G monetization goals, especially as 5G standalone network deployments gain momentum.
