Topic: 5G Impact on Networks - Edge Cloud and Slicing
Speakers: Wim Henderickx, Brian Walsh, Reza Rokui

5G requires service providers to fundamentally reconsider how they
deliver services across their infrastructure. Virtualized packet core
and MEC applications will be delivered from new Edge Cloud
infrastructure; 5G network slicing will require E2E SLA’s for eMBB,
URLLC, MIoT, C-V2X slices optimized around different network
characteristics; E2E services must be orchestrated and assured, with
SLA’s monitored throughout their entire lifecycle; and all this must be
done while achieving an improved total cost of ownership. This session
will describe how Nokia is addressing these fundamental changes through
its Network Function Interconnect (NF-IX) architecture, and some of the
relevant IETF work enabling a standards-based introduction of these
capabilities.
