Goals and key takeaways

• Share the message that open source projects now provide all the necessary building blocks for modern 5G networks.
• Show the value of each open source project in the context of a 5G network service.
• Encourage end users (operators, system integrators, vendors) to adopt more open source components in their solutions, from the LFN and broader open source scene.
• Suggest how projects may be integrated while leaving enough flexibility to other integration approaches.
• ....

Target audience

• System designers/consultants/architects who would like to understand how open source can be leveraged when building networks for: 
  • Operators
  • Enterprise (private 5G)
  • Industry 4.0
  • ....
• Operators and enterprises who plan to deploy 5G networks and would like to learn how to benefit from the security, maturity and efficiency of open source software.
• ...
