5G Networking Strategy For Transformation
Five Solution Pillars To Service Provider Business Transformation
Juniper is helping to bring the Cloud + 5G + AI era to life with five integrated pillars.
- Massively scalable IP fabric with network slicing
- Cloud-first platforms
- Distributed edge cloud
- Automated operations
- Juniper Connected Security
These solutions drive significant shifts in network architecture, operational economics, and services. In doing so, they help service providers transform their businesses in ways that create substantial new business value.
Five Big Technology Shifts That Will Make or Break Your 5G Success
Service providers will soon rely on 5G to deliver a wide variety of next-generation services to consumers, enterprises, and governments. Among them are new cloud gaming, augmented reality/virtual reality/mixed reality (AR/VR/MR), industrial automation, connected vehicles, and 8K streaming video offerings.
But 5G technology alone isn’t enough to bring these services to life, drive service provider business transformation, and seal an operator’s position in the 5G value chain.5G is part of a broader revolution that also embraces cloud and AI technologies, which together form more robust and sustainable service delivery platforms. In order to create real business value from the promise of 5G networking, service providers need to consider all three technology components collectively.
From Boxes to Virtualized, Cloud-Native Infrastructure
For service providers to achieve independent scaling, agility, faster time to market, and web-scale economics, the radio-access network (RAN), transport, and core network functions must be disaggregated and moved to virtualized environments that can run on off-the-shelf servers.
From Centralized to Distributed Architecture
Distributed edge clouds will help support ultra-low-latency applications, realize RAN architectures, and distribute core functions to deliver service from anywhere in the network.
From Static Capacity to a Dynamic IP Fabric
IP transport must move away from preplanned, static capacities to a more demand-driven and application-aware network.
From Closed, Manual Systems to Open, Automated Ones
AI-driven automation built on open interfaces is required to manage the exponential complexity that the cloud and 5G bring to network operations.
From Bolted-On to Integrated Security
An end-to-end approach that secures all users, applications, and infrastructure allows providers to tackle the challenges of ever-expanding attack surfaces and threats that continually increase in volume and sophistication.

Enhanced Mobile Broadband Use Cases-Cloud First
Challenge: People/Technology/Processes
People:
- Lack of Software DNA & skills.
- Teams learning to build as they go.
- Teams learning to operate as they go.
- Separate Organizations
Technology:
- Immature and fast evolving technology with complex interactions
- Disaggregation
- Virtualization
- Orchestration
- Cloudification
Process:
- Process like devops & CI/CD are fundamental to transformation
- Without processes cost is high and TTM is long.
- Risk of SILOs and "re-aggregation"
