5G is taking important strides in 2023 that will enable it to reach its commercial zenith in a few years. Two notable steps in this journey include the deployment of the 5G standalone (SA) core and slice-based services running in a cloud-native environment. To support these innovations service providers (SPs) must continue to evaluate and fine-tune their orchestration and service assurance strategies.

Light Reading’s third annual 5G Orchestration and Service Assurance Digital Symposium will investigate in detail the impact of the latest 5G technical innovations on orchestration and service assurance system design.
