As operators modernize their networks and roll out 5G, traditional assurance systems remain fragmented, reactive, and focused on monitoring rather than delivering business value. The paper identifies six converging drivers pushing assurance modernization and explains the evolution from visibility to intelligence and fully automated assurance.

The paper concludes with practical steps to help operators rethink assurance and view the network in a fu
