Over the last 24 months, enterprise organizations have learned what hardware and functions can be grouped together to enhance performance and security.  Those categories are now being enclosed in micro networks that the Nokia technology will allow IBM personnel to deploy quickly and efficiently while taking advantage of the 5G edge technology as well.

Once the micro network is put in place, there will be more orchestration to put in place AI, automation, and analytics to enhance the micro network performance.

This is all being accomplished with the Communication Service Providers in mind since they are the primary channel that IBM is using to implement these solutions. For example, retail operations will be able to take advantage of 5G and utilize real time AI to improve the customer experience as well as increase sales.
