Market Leader Program
5G Orchestration and Service Assurance
Many communications service providers (CSPs) are now focusing on how to orchestrate and provide service assurance for cloud-native services running on their newly deployed 5G standalone (SA) core.
To understand the service and network monetization opportunities associated with this deployment, Heavy Reading launched the 5G Orchestration and Service Assurance Market Leadership Program (MLP) with sponsor partners Amdocs and Cisco. This research-driven program fielded in Q1 2024 provides a detailed view of CSPs’ progress and monetization strategies.
White Paper
5G Orchestration & Service Assurance: 2024 Heavy Reading Survey
Mobile service providers are continuing the journey to monetize their 5G investment as the implementation pace of their standalone (SA) core ramps up. The successful monetization of the core will, in many respects, hinge on service providers’ ability to address several unique 5G service-related requirements:
- Software and hardware disaggregation should enable services to run seamlessly at the edge or in a public or private cloud.
- The SA core should support cloud native services through an API exposure model that emulates public cloud services.
- Service speed must achieve ultra-low latency performance targets to support mission-critical 5G services. This is particularly true of 5G sliced-based services that utilize software to allocate dedicated network bandwidth and resources on shared 5G and cloud infrastructure to ensure low latency performance instead of simply adopting a “best effort” approach.

5G Orchestration and Service Assurance:
Operator Survey: The Monetization Phase
This webinar presents the key findings and analysis from Heavy Reading’s third annual 5G Orchestration and Service Assurance market leadership survey conducted in March 2024 which investigated CSPs’ orchestration and assurance readiness including how capabilities such as automation and AI will shape their evolution path.
Topics to be discussed in this webinar include:
- End-to-end Orchestration Readiness and Service-based Use Case Drivers
- Benefits of Integrating AI Into an End-to-end Orchestration System
- Capabilities Considered When Making End-to-end Orchestration Platform Purchasing Decisions
- Assurance-based Network Investment Priorities
- Automated Assurance Solution Benefits
- Intent-based Assurance Drivers and Readiness
