End-to-end network slicing is one of the most significant justifications for investing in a 5G cloud-native core at an early stage. This will allow operators to carve out virtual slices of their networks, to support the specific performance requirements of a particular application, industry or even user. This can be done in a static way using existing techniques with the evolved packet core, but the 5G core, combined with emerging orchestration technologies, will allow slicing to be flexible and dynamic. This will help operators enhance the revenue potential of their 5G networks by supporting enterprise customers with very demanding performance needs, and to back that with a service level agreement (SLA) without the cost of building a dedicated private network.…
