The waiting game is over. 5G is coming to the edge.
- Enterprises, industrial actors and service providers are preparing for 5G edge computing to produce returns within two years despite the lack of widespread 5G standalone infrastructure, as per Canonical's research report in collaboration with Omdia.
- Optimism about using virtualization technologies to capitalize on the demand for 5G edge computing is still strong even in the absence of 5G SA.
- 96% of communications service providers (CSPs) report that they expect to launch fully commercial edge computing deployments within 2 years.
- Appetite to use existing infrastructure through virtualization and containerization and completely rethink how we use it is the driving force for the enterprises.
- 44% of the respondents cited interoperability as one of the toughest challenges for open vRAN adoption.
- Enterprises can benefit from virtual network functions enabling them to use cloud-native infrastructures that meet the requirements of modern applications and distributed systems.
- Virtualization and containerization technologies are helping to deliver beneficial 5G computing at the edge even in the absence of 5G Standalone.
- 5G Standalone is still considered the key driver in the growth of 5G at the edge, cited by 51% of the respondents to the Canonical's research report.
- The retirement of VNFs is expected as it makes sense to switch to CNFs, as they are quicker to boot, lighter in terms of resource utilization and easier to scale.
- Open source software has interoperability baked in from the outset, shifting the focus for enterprises away from building a stack and towards assembling the cloud layer they need from existing, best in class open-source components.
