According to a report by Juniper Research, the implementation of artificial intelligence (Al) segmentation tools will help telecom operators reduce their revenue leakage from 5G roaming on standalone (SA) networks.
The report noted that the average revenue leakage per 5G roaming connection will fall from $1.72 to $1.20 as telecom operators implement AI-driven segmentation solutions to monetise data centric users. However, revenue leakage is the value of services provided but not monetised.
The report further added that an Al-driven segmentation approach will allow telcos to reduce 5G SA revenue leakage through the improved allocation of resources and new pricing, reflecting its higher quality of service (QoS). SG SA networks work on a 5G core, while 5G non-standalone (NSA) network rely on 4G infrastructure.
Moreover, by separating SA from NSA roaming traffic, operators will be able to apply individual pricing strategies for each of these networks, and ensuring pricing reflects QoS.
