5G Network Slicing is rapidly gaining interest in the mobile industry, with major players in the ecosystem excited about the benefits this technology will bring to a variety of verticals such as AI, Gaming, Transportation, Realtime Robotics and Smart Cities providing Intelligent Connectivity. There are still many questions surrounding Network Slicing that need to be answered, including how it will benefit consumers and verticals and benefits for Hyperconnected IoT; what the business model will look like; what the different roles within Network Slicing will be; and what the GSMA is doing to progress Network Slicing deployment. 5GSA aims to address requirements of industry verticals, and foster network slicing innovation via testbeds and trials.
Focusing on the commercialisation of 5G, the GSMA’s Future Networks Programme hosted a 5G Seminar at Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2018, co-hosted and sponsored by China Mobile and Huawei. Speakers from 3GPP, 5GSA, Beckhoff, China Mobile, China Southern Power Grid, Huawei, LetinVR Digital Technology, PetroChina Huabei Oilfield Company, State Grid Corporation of China and Tencent, discussed the latest progress and future plans for Network Slicing.
At the Seminar, market leaders discussed the following topics:
- Key Innovations in the 5G era
- New 5G opportunities through verticals and AI enabled intelligent connectivity
- A new business model and roles in Network Slicing
- How Network Slicing can benefit the gaming and entertainment sector
- How Network Slicing can support a smarter energy grid network
- Network Slicing use cases in Industry 4.0
