Preliminary Draft Architecture
As global communications providers prepare to deliver high-speed connectivity to support new services and use cases, the need for low-latency, high-bandwidth, scalable networks is more important than ever. Conventional industry hardware won’t sustain next-generation mobile technology; the need for cloud native is essential for delivering the performance, capabilities, and automation 5G requires. Benefits include operational consistency, application resilience, simplified and responsive scaling at the microservice level, simplified integration with enterprise-facing cloud native applications, and improved portability between public, private, and hybrid cloud environments.

During the Open Networking & Edge Executive Forum (ONEEF), it was announced that LF Networking is pulling together and End-to-End, 5G Super Blueprint. This initiative will build upon the existing work done by this demo team (from the VCO through the 5G Cloud Native Network with ONAP), and build an E2E 5G Super Blueprint in the following Steps: 1. 5G Core + MEC, 2. 5G E2E Slicing + MEC, 3. 5GC + Slicing + O-RAN + MEC. See the LF Networking is now leading a community-driven integration and proof of concept involving multiple open source initiatives in order to show end-to-end use cases demonstrating implementation architectures for end users. This 5G Super Blueprint will cover RAN, Edge, and Core and enable solutions for enterprises and verticals, large institutional organizations, and more. See the proposed project timeline here. We welcome you to join the effort to build this blueprint by signing up for the mailing list below and attending the calls. Please see the 5G Super Blueprint FAQ. If you have any further questions, please email bwick@linuxfoundationsuperblueprint@lfnetworking.org.
