Challenges and testing strategies for a resilient network.
5G SA introduces a fundamentally new, cloud-native, service-based core architecture that enables exceptional performance, agility, and dynamic service delivery. It marks a departure from legacy 4G LTE and 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) models, offering enhanced flexibility and scalability to support diverse use cases through features like network slicing and rapid service innovation.
However, this transition is not without challenges. Operators must navigate complex issues, particularly around implementing robust, end-to-end security to counter evolving threats; ensuring scalable, high throughput performance under varying loads; and maintaining strict compliance with evolving 3GPP standards to ensure interoperability and reliability. Overcoming these hurdles is critical to unlocking the full potential of 5G SA and delivering on its promise across industries.
This white paper provides practical insights into the following:
• Key security risks and compliance considerations in 5G SA Core deployments.
• How full-core and end-to-end simulations can reveal bottlenecks and vulnerabilities before launch.
• The benefits of isolating network functions like AMF, SMF, and UPF to test security and resilience.
• How to address all these challenges
