5G SBP : A charging system for 5G SA use cases using Open Source Products for SBP

Use Case Description:

(Mandatory)

For developing an open-source Universal Charging System that encompasses 5G and future generations of mobile networks which can be integrated to 5G Super Blueprint Architecture. This initiative has the potential to revolutionize the way countries manage their 5G networks, leading to substantial savings in both capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX).
As you may be aware, the advent of 5G technology has ushered in a new era of connectivity and has immense potential to transform various sectors such as healthcare, transportation, education, and more. However, the deployment and management of 5G networks come with significant financial challenges, particularly in terms of charging systems and monetizing for network services.
