The largest impact 5G networks will have on SSC is in its datacenters. 5G promises to support higher network traffic at greater speeds with lower latency. It also means that applications will begin being designed to use 5G networks. The shift to 5G will still require data centers to perform many of the same tasks except on a much larger scale. Datacenters will require an increase in processing power and storage. Datacenters will also need to shift from decentralized mobile networks where processing is done at the edge of the network. A more centralized model of processing capacity is needed in this scenario. 5G will also transform the traditional cellular architecture. Having a two tier architecture as explained in the technological brief requires heightened security. This is because using devices to connect to each other in order to establish a network connection means there isn’t only one central base station to protect. Now, the provider will have to also focus on protecting against the devices that establish the connections themselves.  Security will be a vital concern for SSC moving into the 5G era as IoT devices will all be connected. This increased number of IoT devices brings forth a high amount of network traffic. Companies like Cisco and Ericsson have begun using software-defined-networks (SDNs) and network functions visualization (NFV) as they are more flexible and can dynamically support a growing number of devices. SDNs decouples the hardware from the software, meaning tasks can be performed on the cloud or in clusters of servers. NFVs which are usually used in combination with SDNs, shift network functions from being hardware specific to being able to run in virtual machines. These are viable options for SSC moving forward as the department migrates to the cloud while entering the 5G era.
