STOCKHOLM — Ericsson today announced commercial availability of its 5G RAN Slicing, which the company says will enable communications service providers to deliver customized 5G services with guaranteed performance.
The new software solution allocates radio resources at 1 millisecond scheduling and supports multi-dimensional service differentiation handling across slices, says Ericsson’s press release.
“Network slicing supports multiple logical networks for different service types over one common infrastructure. It is a key enabler for unlocking 5G revenue opportunities such as enhanced video, and in-car connectivity, and extended reality,” reads the press release.
Per Narvinger, head of product area networks at Ericsson, is quoted as saying: “Ericsson 5G RAN Slicing dynamically optimizes radio resources to deliver significantly more spectrum-efficient radio access network slicing. What makes our solution distinct is that it boosts end-to-end management and orchestration support for fast and efficient service delivery. This gives service providers the differentiation and guaranteed performance needed to monetize 5G investments with diverse use cases. With 5G as innovation platform, we continue to drive value for our customers.”
Ericsson says it has ongoing 5G network slicing engagements for RAN, transport, core network and orchestration across the globe involving use cases for the consumer segment and enterprises/industry verticals such as video-assisted remote operations, AR/VR, TV/media for sports event streaming, cloud gaming, smart city, and applications for Industry 4.0 and public safety.
