According to Ericsson, network slicing enables multiple logical networks to operate on a shared physical network infrastructure by creating “slices” that are logically separated, self-contained, independent, and secured. These sliced networks can be independently configured to target specific services or users with distinct speed, latency, and reliability needs. It provides an opportunity to monetize 5G network investments and unleash the power of differentiated connectivity.
As per Celona, network slicing is a type of functionality that enables multiple independent networks to exist on the same physical network, using different “slices” of the same spectrum band. This allows organizations to accommodate different application requirements for security, reliability, and performance on the same network. It leverages Software-defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), and automation to quickly segment the network and its resources to support specific applications, devices, domains, and groups.
