Building Resilient 5G Networks - Embracing Failure for Greater Reliability

As 5G networks grow in scale and complexity, service providers face increasing pressure to deliver reliability, flexibility, and performance in the face of constant change. In this on-demand webinar, Gabriel Brown, Senior Principal Analyst at Heavy Reading, and Bill Clark, Principal Product Manager, for 5G cloud native deployment validation at Spirent, unpack what it truly means to build a resilient 5G infrastructure in the era of cloud-native network functions (CNFs).

The discussion explores how CNFs—built on microservices, containerization, and Kubernetes-based orchestration—are redefining resilience. Rather than trying to eliminate every possible failure, today’s networks are designed to expect them. The focus has shifted toward rapid recovery, self-healing behaviors, and intelligent automation that ensures services like autonomous vehicles, industrial IoT, and low-latency applications continue to run without disruption—even under pressure.
