Within 5G networks, we see strong continued investment across a variety of areas such as 5G RAN, 5G Core Network), increased virtualization and cloudification of network cores, and mobile edge networks.

Looking at initial launches, what do you see as the biggest 5G network deployment challenges?

In the U.S. there are two key ingredients for 5G commercial deployment success: exclusive use licensed spectrum and network density.

5G wireless technology significantly differs from previous wireless generations, creating novel avenues of attack, as the entire network is being re-architected to use software-defined networking and service-based architecture, including network slicing.

5G non-standalone networks operate 5G radio access networks and 4G LTE or LTE Advanced "Evolved Packet Cores", so LTE threats and vulnerabilities will still exist in 5G NSA networks.
