Network Slicing

ZTE Corporation, an international provider of telecoms, enterprise and consumer technology for the mobile internet, has claimed an industry first for the launch of CloudStudio, its “commercially-ready” AI-based 5G slice operation system at Mobile World Congress (#MWC19) in Barcelona.

A new framework agreement to promote research, knowledge exchange and innovation within the Information and Communication Technologies sector has been signed by Italtel and the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), Italy’s national research council.

Network slicing is one of the most important 5G innovations available to mobile operators. Across the industry, experts are falling over themselves to enthuse about the future benefits. However, as Bart Salaets, F5 Networks Systems Engineering director says, fewer realise that aspects of its technological impact can already be used.

China Telecom, China’s State Grid, and Huawei have jointly released a report entitled 5G Network Slicing Enabling Smart Grid which details results of their 5G network slicing project, a major national initiative in China.
