Building blocks of 5G profitability
Create new revenue through premium self-services
Empower new business with on-demand access of premium network services. The Cisco Unified Domain Center establishes a clear path for monetizing 5G.
It breaks down the barriers across enterprise, cloud, and connectivity service provider (CSP) networks. Business customers can seamlessly manage policies, security, and services, which increases speed to market and customer satisfaction.
Monetizing improved subscriber experiences through the cloud
Expand your business reach and agility with a full featured cloud native 5G/4G packet core that migrates control to the cloud.
Cisco Ultra Cloud Core with CUPS is the industry-leading full-featured (in-line services) packet core platform that seamlessly and securely unifies 3G/4G/5G/IoT/WiFi connected services.
The agility, reach, and responsiveness of Cisco Ultra Cloud Core empowers network slicing, which can improve subscriber experiences, expand revenue opportunities, and optimize CapEx.
Increase speed to revenue through multi-vendor orchestration
Cisco NSO uses open API orchestration across your entire network to deliver high-quality services quickly and easily.
Now, with the introduction of NSO 5, you can accelerate revenue-generating services with automated, self-service, and on-demand provisioning in even the largest multi-vendor networks with more than 100,000 devices and beyond.
Reduce OpEx with automation
Customer demands are complicated, but closed-loop automation from Cisco simplifies and speeds both awareness and action.
- Cisco Crosswork SON (Self Organizing Network) uses machine learning to react faster to network issues, predicting potential issues based on gathered (and ingested) data.
- Cisco Crosswork Network Insights is the first SaaS offering from Cisco. It is a cloud-based service that provides a rich analysis of routing and network data to significantly reduce the mean time to repair of networking issues, which can reduce costs and improve the subscriber experience.
