Episode 5 -The Architecture Behind The 5G Core Network - The Backbone of Modern Connectivity

In this episode of "5G Tech Talk," we start with the basics by exploring the concept of network architecture. We'll break down what it means and why it's crucial for telecommunications, particularly in the context of 5G. From there, we'll delve into the two primary types of 5G network architecture: the traditional Reference Point System Architecture and the more modern Service-Based System Architecture.

We'll also take a closer look at some key components of 5G networks—AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function), UPF (User Plane Function), and SMF (Session Management Function)—and discuss how they work together to ensure seamless, efficient communication. Finally, we'll tie everything together with an analogy that simplifies these complex systems, making it easier to understand how 5G is designed to support the vast data traffic, low latency, and numerous connected devices of today’s world. Whether you're new to 5G or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode has something for everyone.
