The telecommunications industry is well on its way in its journey from hardware-centric to software-centric architecture. Digital service providers are racing to innovate, moving away from proprietary, custom technologies. Leaders in the field are embracing open source as a key strategy to move intelligence to software and drive towards a faster on-demand network while reducing overall cost and complexity. Can this new cloud-native vision be achieved more cost effectively than the original old-world solutions? How will we get there?
