Hyperdense Dense Medium dense Non-dense

6. Fulfilling the promise of density will require
a new architecture and process
Density can start in 4G, but without a new
architecture, networks will fail due to:
• Misalignment of capex and TCO with
revenue
• Power consumption demands
• Lack of resource flexibility
• Misalignment with cloud and apps

800% more
cells needed in
some urban
centers by 2022

7. The SCF 5G Vision addresses
this requirement
• SCFs definition of 5G Era: densified LTE supplemented by 5G NR and other radios,
federated into a virtualised core for a highly automated and dynamic network
• We believe this rests on three cornerstones:
• Orchestration
• Architecture
• Standard interfaces
• SCF will advocate for unified specifications in these three areas,
drive standard frameworks, operationalize the standards, and relate them
to real world 5G use cases.
