Episode 23 - 5G Core

What are core networks and what's so different with 5G Core that it's not launched until 2020? We have Ericsson's head of 5G Core, Erwin van Rijssen, with us in the studio to explain Stand Alone (SA) versus Non-Stand Alone (NSA) 5G, EPC vs 5GC and the user benefits of Network Slicing.
