• Welcome back and here we areat the finish line
  of this blog series highlighting 5G and
  all-things assurance that will surround its
  critical mass adoption. So, before we get into
  it, lets take a moment to review where we have
  been so far. 
• Leap or leaddont be the laggard. I get it it
  is still early days regarding the eventual
  transformation that 5G will drive. But if you are
  reading the tea leaves and paying attention to
  the momentum (and no, I am not talking about the
  omnipresent and sometimes annoying
  commercials and ads from our favorite telecom
  providers), more and more enterprises are
  starting to ask questions about what 5G will mean
  to them. So, while there is still plenty of time
  to plan your 5G strategy, it is not so long that
  you can avoid thinking about it. Is there a
  company in existence that would make the claim,
  We wish we would have waited longer to start
  planning our digital transformation, or We
  should have delayed the start of our mobile
  strategy?  
• Quality of experienceget used to this new set of
  metrics. With 5G, our networks are becoming
  application aware, and hence, with 5G, the
  customer experience will become entwined between
  the application and the network.
  For product managers, or application
  architects, or even marketing leaders, will they
  be able to delineate the difference between poor
  app performance and poor network performance?
  There is no single measurement or series of
  measurements to capture the aggregate. And this
  will be the crux of the puzzle to be solved in
  the evolution of QoE as it relates to the
  critical mass adoption of 5G.

Driving the innovation loopfaster and faster.
Digital Assurance is a factor of many moving
parts platforms, technology, data, processes
all of which must be considered and validated in
coordination with one another. And let us not
forget about a major factor underpinning all of
this the network! With the emergence of 5G, we
can expect a new horizon of transformation and
innovation as organizations evolve from
delivering applications on top of the network to
delivering applications that inherently leverage
the vast capabilities of the network (as will be
the case with 5G).  And for the final chapter,
we are going to bring it all together as the
topics of the first three blogs all fold into
what will become the new imperative for Digital
Assurance lets welcome 5G to the dance!  The
promise of 5G, or the hype as it may be, is
understandable. 5G presents a new horizon one
that is not necessarily tangible to many of us as
it stretches the inherent boundaries of
possible that we have formed in our minds. Make
no mistake, 5G is indeed coming and it stands to
be a major catalyst across all the digital
transformation initiatives. While the technology
is still emerging, it will unlock the prowess
of the latest technologies such as IoT, AI/ML,
and hyper automation to an altogether different
level.  Test data. Test data is already a
challenge for every organization what will
happen when we need to include more video and
AR/VR elements into the mix? I dont think anyone
has an answer for this one yet, but Im sure it
will become a major pain point.
