But this doesn ’ t mean that cost isn ’ t critically important . Delivering an ever-evolving mix of services to a greater variety of customers , reliably , regardless of the outages , failures , congestion , and any number of impairments that networks face , needs constant tuning . The cost of manual management and optimisation would be way too high , if it were possible at all . Hence the need to open the network to the best technologies that manage the operation and optimisation of 5G systems so that the dynamic complexity can be delivered with a realistic cost .
And finally , let ’ s not forget about the energy required to deliver cellular connectivity . A denser network based on more disaggregated components delivering orders of magnitude more data would by default consume more energy than previously and certainly more than one would like in a world aiming for netzero . Here again , the automation of 5G can control the energy demand . We do this by asking the network automation to not only deliver the SLAs of the services we want , but also to introduce energy consumption into the mix . Blended objective functions mean that services will be delivered reliably with a minimum of energy consumption .
