Leading companies in the 5G core network market are advancing technology through developments like Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to enhance network efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a cloud-based service model where software applications are hosted by a provider and accessed by users over the internet. For example, in November 2022, Nokia Corporation, a Finland-based multinational telecommunications, information technology, and consumer electronics corporation, introduced Core Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) for 5G. Core SaaS is the first comprehensive 5G core solution that offers all core cloud-native network functions via a SaaS model. Core SaaS is designed to allow communication service providers (CSPs) and enterprises to manage their networks with increased flexibility and scalability, enhancing business agility and accelerating network service monetization. By shifting from traditional, customized software installations on private infrastructure to a subscription-based model, operators can avoid large upfront capital investments and eliminate the need for on-site software maintenance and updates.
