Communications service providers (CSPs) have a hard requirement to transform their networks and their businesses to meet changing customer requirements and compete effectively in evolving markets.

A 2024 survey capturing input from 450 CSP decision-makers across North America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific found that more than two-thirds of CSPs report their organization is struggling to keep pace with rapidly evolving customer needs and market demands. Almost all – nine in ten, agree that transforming their networks is critical to their organization’s survival.

The way forward is a combination of open standards, cloud infrastructure and its corresponding operating model, and cloud-native network functions.

In this whitepaper you’ll find insights on:

• The shift in organizational mindset required to drive successful transformation
• CSP’s objectives for open networks
• The opportunities and challenges for CSPs at the edge
• The shifts in technologies to deliver innovative new capabilities
• The risk vectors CSPs need to consider
