Operators are currently modernizing their network for 5G deployments. Important elements in these transformations are the disaggregation of hardware and software. This transformation is seen in both the 5G Core (5GC) and Radio Access Network (RAN) architecture. Furthermore, the decoupling of hardware and software opens up the ability to support multi-vendor networks. SDN and NFV emerged as innovative technology for service providers to build their next generation networks.

The Gradle Build Cache is designed to help you save time by reusing outputs produced by previous builds. It works by storing (locally or remotely) build outputs, and allowing builds to fetch these outputs from the cache when it determines that inputs have not changed. The build cache gives you the ability to avoid the redundant work and cost of regenerating time-consuming and expensive processes.

The marketplace for mobile apps is a broad and highly competitive one. There are millions of apps available on Apple’s App store, Google Play, and within private enterprise app stores. Expanding market demands continue to drive the pressure to innovate. New iOS and Android updates and mobile device releases, along with myriad apps from companies vying for their customer’s attention, are creating shorter app release cycles.

Like mechanics who restore their own cars or plastic surgeons who self-rhinoplasty, our developers put their skills to interesting uses during their free time. Here, Native Platform Engineer, Arpad Borsos breaks down how memory mappings and dynamic library loading works and how it relates to native Android libraries loaded from APKs. Libraries are key to modular programming, as they offer functionality in a single unit which can be shared with other developers.

5G is in the process of transforming communications technology, enabling never-before-seen data transfer speeds and high-performance remote computing capabilities. As a cloud-native application, 5G provides advantages in terms of speed, agility, efficiency and robustness.
