China Telecom & Huawei Test Network Slicing

#ChinaTelecom Shanghai teamed with #Huawei on a network slicing trial that assisted the operator in provisioning new services to different types of customers. The trial used Huawei’s OLT MA5800 platform to deliver certain services to specific customer groups depending upon whether they are enterprise, consumer, or a campus user. China Telecom’s trial of #networkslicing is part of a bigger trend among network operators to migrate their existing networks, which tend to have a monolithic architecture, to a more flexible architecture that allows them to optimize different “slices” of the network to support specific vertical services. Network slicing is considered a key ingredient in 5G because 5G is envisioned as being able to provide a consistent user experience across a wide variety of applications – from the high-speed, low-latency requirements necessary for transmitting video to the low-bandwidth needs of many Internet of Things ( #IoT ) scenarios.
