The 5G opportunity
To monetize these, requires new commercial models and to look to new verticals and new business models – B2B + B2B2X – 60% of 5G revenue will come through B2B2X

5G brings many opportunities for new and innovative services, but monetizing these requires a shift towards new verticals
The 5G network opens up new monetization possibilities for innovative value based charging
Many of these new 5G business opportunities require low latency and so the edge is becoming increasingly important
The charging function must also evolve for edge functionality for CSPs and Enterprises to effectively monetize their 5G networks

New commercial models are enabled by 5G network integrations that create opportunities for innovative charging and give the ability to go beyond connectivity to 'anything you can measure you can charge'.
Charging beyond
This gives the ability to move from charging by flat fee or volume-based models, to charging for currencies / values such as throughput, latency and QoS.
Real-time charging
Real-time charging is the top BSS investment area when it comes to 5G monetization.

Introduction
The Growth of the Edge
The Edge is becoming increasingly important for the end user experience of many of these new 5G business opportunities.
IoT sparks edge Boom
Driven by demand for massive IoT and growth in applications that require extremely low latency that can only be achieved by being located at the edge - global spending on edge computing is expected to reach

$274 billion by 2025.

Edge charging evolution
The Charging Function must also evolve for edge functionality, for CSPs and Enterprises to monetize their 5G networks.
Today
Whilst 5G network functions are mainly located at the core, the charging function will be co-located, with a central and edge charging function, enabling intelligent aggregation and reduced processing costs – up to 40% savings.
Tomorrow
As more network functions move to the edge, more charging functionality will also take place there, giving CSPs and Enterprises greater control of the charging function and bringing about further processing savings.
