The 5G technology has dominated the research landscape for many years with strict KPIs requires that exceeds any previous generation. The industry took the lead for developing new innovative components that spans all over the network end-to-end. However, the 3GPP standards define a network that employs magnificent features for radio access, transport, core network, monitoring, etc. This is a network that resides over multi-cloud domains and fully automated to restructure in response to user demands and traffic changes. However, the 5G race has just began as vendors and solution providers are working hand to hand with operators to develop the necessary features that bring such a network into reality. This panel include experts from world leading operators and industries to identify what has been achieved so far and what is still to be done from production perspective. This panel will help both academic and industrial communities to prioritize their backlog for more focused effort towards the most needed solutions for 5G.
