  • Patent number: 11729055
    Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to utilizing templates with associated naming policies to deploy network equipment in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include, based on a similarity criterion, evaluating a request to deploy network equipment at a deployment location, resulting in a deployment template. The method can further include, based on the deployment template, identifying a naming policy of the group of naming policies to apply to deployment of the network equipment, resulting in an identified naming policy. Further, the method can include, based on the identified naming policy and the deployment template, facilitating deploying the network equipment.
