As a transformation player , my focus for us as the network of the future is to help create capability solutions that create those transformation journeys for the customer , bridging that chasm and that gap ,” he adds .
Containing many different technical components , the company ’ s ‘ network of the future ’ vision contains three building blocks to ensure that technology , vision , and execution are all aligned . Mangal adds : “ Building block number one is the pure infrastructure . We see a tremendous transformation , particularly because now hyperscalers are taking a lot more active interest and investment in that category . So , there ' s a whole layer of how the infrastructure will evolve .”
“ The second building block of the network of the future is about the functions of the network itself – whether it ' s a 5G radio network , 5G core network , security platform or a variety of other components . The functions of the network will drastically evolve to become a pure software cloud with native functions so that anybody can innovate around that . A huge transformation is coming to open that space .”
