Modify a service plan

  • Artikkeli

The service plan determines an allowance for the throughput and the number of radio access network (RAN) connections for each site, as well as the number of devices that each network supports. The plan you selected when creating the site can be updated to support your deployment requirements as they change. In this how-to guide, you'll learn how to modify a service plan using the Azure portal.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure you can sign in to the Azure portal using an account with access to the active subscription you used to create your private mobile network. This account must have the built-in Contributor or Owner role at the subscription scope.

Choose a new service plan

Choose the service plan that will best fit your requirements and verify pricing and charges. See Azure Private 5G Core pricing.

View the current service plan

You can view your current service plan in the Azure portal.

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

  2. Search for and select the Mobile Network resource representing the private mobile network.
