Keysight Subscriber Metadata for 5G Network Visibility

This solution brief outlines the importance of subscriber metadata in enhancing network visibility for 5G service providers. It explains that traditional monitoring approaches may not suffice due to the anticipated growth in user-plane traffic. The document details how Keysight's 5G network visibility platform can generate subscriber-aware metadata, which includes critical information such as subscriber IDs, location, and performance metrics. This metadata allows service providers to gain deeper insights into network performance and identify issues that may not be evident through standard packet-based visibility. The brief presents several capabilities enabled by the platform, including MEC metering and revenue share validation, optimized user plane probing, and KPI correlation. These features help service providers diagnose subscriber problems more effectively and improve overall network performance while reducing monitoring costs. The solution is designed to be flexible and scalable, accommodating the demands of cloud-native 5G networks and existing monitoring tools.
