10. NETWORK SLICING IN 5G NETWORKS
Network Slicing is a virtual networking architecture based on software-based automation.
Lets operators provide portions of their network for specific
customer uses cases- Smart home, Smart Manufacturing,
Connected cars, and many more.
Allows the creation of multiple virtual independent end-to-end
logical systems running on shared physical infrastructure.
11. BENEFITS OF NETWORK SLICING
Customizable slices optimized for the
service need/segment cluster they are
defined to serve.
Flexibility and high efficiency with
AI-powered automated service
orchestration
Enhanced elasticity, robustness, secure &
stable operations through
compartmentalization of the network

15. THE RACE TO 5G
China has deployed
5G pilot networks in
Beijing, Shanghai,
and a dozen other
cities.
US private service
providers are
collaborating with
cities to roll out 5G
pilot networks and
innovation labs.
