This technical paper looks at how the expectations of 5G are colliding with traditional software development and deployment, including:

• A checklist of 5 points you’ll need to evaluate if you want to successfully upgrade your tech stack
• Millisecond latency requirements that can’t be achieved with more or faster hardware
• Moving processing to local data centers at the edge, upending a decade of consolidating systems into massive regional data centers
• 5G’s focus on IoT and the impact on updating and long-term support for deployed systems
