Breaking the 5G Deployment Barrier: A Cost-Effective Alternative with Summa Networks
The promise of 5G is transformative—ultra-fast speeds, ultra-low latency, and massive connectivity. Yet, despite its potential, the global rollout of 5G has been slower than expected. Operators face two major hurdles: high deployment costs and a lack of compelling use cases to justify the investment.
The Challenge: High Costs and Slow Adoption
Deploying 5G requires significant infrastructure upgrades, from new antennas to advanced core network elements. This substantial investment often delays operators from taking the next step, especially in markets where 4G networks continue to meet current demand. Additionally, the industry is still searching for widespread, revenue-driving use cases that would make these investments immediately profitable. As a result, many operators are hesitant to commit, leaving 5G adoption in a prolonged state of stagnation.
The Summa Networks Alternative: 5G Deployment Without New Investments
At Summa Networks, we understand that operators need a more flexible and cost-effective approach to adopting 5G. That’s why we offer a modular and future-proof core network solution that allows operators to deploy 5G on their existing infrastructure without the need for large capital investments.
Our 5G-ready Modular Core integrates seamlessly into current network architectures, enabling a phased and risk-free transition to 5G. Operators can leverage their existing infrastructure while gradually introducing 5G capabilities. This means:
- Lower Costs: No need to invest in expensive, brand-new infrastructure.
- Faster Deployment: Utilize current network elements to accelerate 5G adoption.
- Scalability: Deploy 5G at your own pace, based on actual demand.
- Vendor Independence: Avoid vendor lock-in and maintain flexibility.
Why Now? Test 5G with Minimal Risk
Rather than delaying deployment due to high costs, operators can now test 5G capabilities with minimal investment using Summa Networks’ flexible core solutions. Our approach ensures that when the right use cases emerge, operators are already prepared to scale efficiently and cost-effectively.
Conclusion
5G is the future, but its adoption doesn’t have to be delayed by financial and technical roadblocks. Summa Networks provides operators with a viable, cost-effective path to 5G, enabling them to innovate, experiment, and expand without major upfront investments. It’s time to break down the barriers and move towards a smarter, more accessible 5G landscape.
