Network Slicing is a key architectural feature in 5G, enabling multiple virtual networks to be created on a single physical network infrastructure. Different service characteristics and quality parameters can then be provided to each slice, adapted to customer needs with full isolation between slices. In this workshop with representatives from Deutsche Telekom and its partners Ericsson and Samsung, we look at the business and technology aspects of Network Slicing, the unique collaboration with Ericsson and Samsung and show the benefits of latency-optimized slicing for cloud VR streaming games.
