The popularity of cloud services has meant big changes for branch office networks, which have been operating for years utilizing only dedicated multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) connections back to a corporate data centers. Now, there’s a need to add broadband connections for faster cloud access. But these links are less secure and complicate network management and policy enforcement. Software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) systems enable branch offices to have both their broadband connections and to enforce policies designed to improve network security and performance.

The pandemic crisis has highlighted the need to transform healthcare, reduce inequalities in access to medical care, and provide a more personalized and humane experience. Patients and caregivers have recognized the convenience and effectiveness of telehealth during the crisis. In addition, the health sector is accelerating the digitalization of its services and transforming its hospitals into smart hospitals. Medical records are now stored electronically, and the sector is using an increasing number of IoT devices, which are inherently unsecure. However, this transformation exposes healthcare providers to significant data breaches and growing cybersecurity risks while they must demonstrate compliance to standards that protect sensitive health information such as HIPAA

This white paper (available in both short and long versions) analyses the 5G-PPP projects’ use cases of various verticals for their performance KPIs and their mapping to the 5G network KPIs. The scope is to identify (based on architectural elements analysis, information flow, etc.) the potential impact on the service performance and the perceived user quality. The considered use cases belong to the following domains: Smart Cities & Utilities, Transportation, Automotive, Media & Entertainment, Agriculture & Agri-food, Smart (Air)ports, Energy and E-health & Wellness. The goal was to understand the relationship between the 5G network performance indicators and the vertical services.
