Communications Service Providers (CSPs) have new opportunities to capitalize on the promise of the Pervasive Network by creating open, software-defined and programmable solutions directly linked to their differentiated market strategy.
The already completed shift to full IP – together with the rapid onboarding of SDN/NFV and new opportunities of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) for Industry X.0 – are completely changing CSPs’ businesses, accelerating the move from tightly coupled service models in which all communication services are designed, built and framed into the underlying network, to a fully decoupled service model, where all communication services are designed and managed with an over-the-top approach.
