It is understood that this is the first trial of this type among a British telecom operator, demonstrating the use of Ericsson’s 5G standalone containerized core network architecture and end-to-end automatic orchestration solutions (including 5G RAN slicing), advanced on-demand customizable 5G network slicing, which provides the low latency and high bandwidth experience required for virtual reality use cases.
Moreover, the entire process, from placing an order to creating a network slice carrying live network traffic, took just 30 minutes, proving that telecom operators can roll out newly automated and customized connectivity services faster.
