This short publication provides an overview of the four Operating Models for Disaggregated Networks identified by NGMN Alliance. Each operating model is further outlined in a separate publication. The Operating Models are outlined to provide technical and organisational guidance only and no market recommendation or market preference should be inferred from these publications. Other Operating Models may be possible.

This publication outlines the “Single Vendor Led” model, a straightforward approach whereby the operator contracts with a single/lead vendor to deploy the disaggregated network with the lead vendor acting as System Integrator (SI) and using its own products and/or those of partners to provide a complete solution.
