Another set of research, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ericsson.com\/en\/reports-and-papers\/mobility-report\/dataforecasts\/mobile-traffic-forecast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">conducted by Ericsson<\/a>, estimates total mobile data traffic to grow by a factor of around three between 2023 and 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As is increasingly obvious, today&#8217;s consumers and enterprises expect greater variety and levels of service, facilitated by ultra-fast data speeds and high network uptime. The telecoms industry must deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To deploy network services capable of meeting these needs, the long term business plans of mobile network operators (MNOs) compel them to transform their mobile networks through new infrastructure and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-but-what-is-network-transformation\">But what is network transformation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the purposes of this article, we define mobile network transformation as the partial or complete change of a network\u2019s core elements (the bits that manage the mobile network operation, such as user authentication, session management, data routing, and billing) or access elements (the bits that connect mobile devices to the core network via radio waves).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transformation naturally involves implementing digital technologies into these parts of the network, which allow adaptive and automated control of physical mobile network infrastructure, and generate data driven insights that support that automation. Examples \u2013 which we will discuss \u2013 include cloud native containerized network functions (CNFs), virtual replacements to traditional physical network functions (PNFs) that offer greater scalability and adaptability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In search of this future, MNOs aim to \u2018clean up\u2019 existing networks, through a slow decommissioning and replacement of the existing legacy network. Here, operators switch out physical-only infrastructure with new \u2018digital meets physical\u2019 software-defined network technologies, and then migrate customers and services over to these new, improved mobile networks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, such transformations are extremely complex, and face many challenges &#8211; not all of which are known. Worst case scenarios involve expensive transformations that fail, forcing MNOs to fall back to their legacy networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the successful transformation of the core network, an accurate project planning and a mitigation strategy for all known risks is essential. These risks are the result of doing something that few, if any, have done before; such transformations are at the cutting edge of mobile network technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-thinking-strategically\">Thinking strategically<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is an improved network that operates without service outages or negative customer impacts. To this end, it is very important that the network solution and services be tested rigorously <em>before<\/em> we begin migrating customers. This must cover all types of testing &#8211; but most importantly load, performance and soak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the MNO&#8217;s business use case is not defined, there is the risk of high investment but low ROI. To prevent this, MNOs must build solid business use cases <em>before<\/em> attempting to transform their networks, so that the new network can properly deliver its promised user experience and revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project management is also a critical part of a mobile core network (MCN) transformation, and entails the completion and delivery of each phase\/milestone on time and within budget. MCN transformation activity has many moving parts, so a lack of expertise in planning or delivery can impact heavily on milestone delivery, including delays to go live &#8211; along with potential financial and reputational consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Network transformations can cost millions, including investments in new staff, training and vendor solutions. So, the key challenge is to properly plan and streamline project delivery.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-challenges-and-risks\"><strong>Challenges and risks <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The known challenges or risks can largely be resolved by strategic planning, but unknown challenges or risks are very difficult to predict or measure. And these unknown challenges and risks can be critical blockers in the transformation journey. <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Migrating customers from the legacy network to the new one is the ultimate goal of the transformation journey, and the migration strategy is crucial to ensure the smooth handover of customers. This is an area where MNOs must pay particular attention. They should be careful while selecting solution providers, solution integrators and technical resources for the MCN transformation journey. Indeed, the success of MCN projects depends on the correct selection of solutions from the vendor and the efforts of the MNO\u2019s technical team to implement and integrate these solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, selecting the CNF\/VNF and cloud infrastructure solution provider is just the beginning. MNOs also face various risks and challenges in their network transformations. These include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-design\">Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Risks:<\/strong> if the network&#8217;s high level design (HLD) or low level design (LLD) is inaccurate or unsuited to network needs, lab and production deployment can fail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Challenges:<\/strong> network service and network design misalignment in HLD or LLDs, design gaps (eg. gaps found during test and validation, or business requirements not being covered by the network),<em> <\/em>or a lack of suitable engineering, design and test resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-integration\">Solution integration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Risks<\/strong>: if all the network&#8217;s parts, including devices, RANs, fixed networks and mobile core network components are not carefully planned in the integration strategy, new and legacy network interfaces may not properly integrate &#8211; causing network issues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Challenges<\/strong>: if risks aren&#8217;t identified early in the integration strategy, then the solution may require redeployment. This can cause delays in the integration timeline. And if the deployment, redeployment or upgrades of the core network nodes aren&#8217;t planned accurately, we can expect further delays to test and validation timeframes in the lab, or during production.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-core-network-function-virtual-network-function-cnf-vnf-and-cloud-infrastructure\">Core network function\/virtual network function (CNF\/VNF) and cloud infrastructure <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Risks:<\/strong> network stability and performance are at risk if network functions (NFs) aren\u2019t fully certified and if services are not deployed and tested against the MNO&#8217;s desired network features.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Challenges:<\/strong> The main challenge is to ensure the network is stable and efficient for migrated customers, fulfilling all business use cases and the migration user journey. In short, the major challenge is to ensure the stability and optimized performance of cloud, microservices, pods and networking, to sustain the network\u2019s traffic load.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-technical-resource\">Technical resource<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Risks:<\/strong> if network design, test, integration and operation resources are inefficient or unable to understand design requirements, vendor solutions and integration points for various interfaces and features, there is the risk of the transformed network facing issues that were not identified and remediated in the design, integration and test phases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Challenges:<\/strong> The MNO\u2019s technical team must align itself with the company&#8217;s transformation requirements, especially if a new hardware and\/or software vendor is introduced. If the MNO&#8217;s design, test and ops teams fail to acquire the expertise required to operate the solution independently, the MNO may struggle to properly utilize its newly transformed network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-test-and-validation\">Test and validation <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Risks:<\/strong> if the MNO&#8217;s network services test and validation approach is not suited to the transformed network solution, there is a risk of testing being performed superficially, below the level of detail required to actually gather useful information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Challenges:<\/strong> the effort put into the test strategy, along with the test methodology itself, determine how likely we are to find (and fix) major defects in the new network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-customer-migration-challenges-and-risks\">Customer migration challenges and risks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the last step in the network transformation journey, where the major risk is the failure of the customer migration. The challenge, then, is how to complete the migration as per the business plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Risks:<\/strong> a \u2018big bang\u2019 migration strategy (in which applications and data are migrated in one operation, at one point in time) can<em> <\/em>threaten the newly transformed network with frequent network outages and service failures. This can happen when new site capacity and performance are not proven to sustain the migrated customers\u2019 traffic load. Ultimately, the critical risk is a negative customer experience caused by an unstable network or ineffective migration that could damage the MNO&#8217;s reputation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Challenges:<\/strong> it is difficult to roll back customers from the newly transformed network to your legacy network. It is also very difficult to identify the cause of failure in network solutions and services, if the migration strategy of rollout and rollback is not strategic; neglecting important factors like use cases, customer types, traffic steering plans and the number (and order) of customers to be onboarded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Network transformation is, of course, a means to an end. For network operators, that end empowers them to deliver superior services, unlock new revenue streams, and optimize operational efficiency &#8211; all while attracting and retaining subscribers. This is achieved through significantly higher data speeds, lower latency, and by offering increased network capacity to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a global level, the effort of MNOs contributes to something far more significant. By building the infrastructure that will enable 5G, the Internet of Things, and the \u2018Fourth Industrial Revolution\u2019, MNOs are helping to pave the way to a more interconnected, efficient and sustainable world of futuristic technologies; fully autonomous vehicles navigating complex urban environments, remote collaboration and telepresence technologies that transcend geographical boundaries, and a host of fantastic use cases as yet unimagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering or planning a core network transformation?
