Yes and it's not that 5G is completely different from 4G anyway. Very much hyped up.

5G RAN (access) is very different.

I'd agree that 5G Core not be that different at the most abstract levels compared to 4G LTE packet core, but the reality on the ground is that they are still sufficiently different enough that network operators are using 5G as a strong reason to re-evaluate suppliers and put major network components up for tender.
