Powering NaaS - How 5G Network Slicing can Accelerate Business Growth

Powering NaaS - How 5G Network Slicing can Accelerate Business Growth

Summary

5G network slicing is a network architecture that allows virtualized and separate logical networks to be multiplexed on the same physical network infrastructure. It is a service-oriented network approach that can be realized through the principles of software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV), which enable the development of flexible and scalable network slices on top of a common network infrastructure. The technology can play a critical role in supporting 5G mobile networks, which are designed to efficiently accept a diverse range of services with varying service level requirements (SLRs). This can eventually improve Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) portfolio of Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and has the potential to help them build better business relations with their customers. The report examines how 5G network slicing is generating enterprise use cases to solve some of the critical sector bottlenecks.

Innovations: presents real-world innovation use cases and examples related to the implementation of 5G network slicing technology by companies as well as startups in the NaaS domain. It casts light on how tech-enabled innovations are transforming every segment of cross-sector use case applications.

Scope

• Innovation Insights: innovation examples by each application segment of the sector to present key trends.

• No surprise that technology has been a driving force in business transformation for years, but the term ‘emerging technologies’ has all of the sudden become the key catalyst to drive the next wave of innovation across sectors.
• The sense of urgency weighs different across different sectors, where the direct customer-facing sectors are at the forefront compared to other capital-intensive sectors. Companies in one sector can take cues from successful innovations in other sectors to either draw analogies with existing products, services, and processes or transfer strategic approaches for a revolutionary transformation.
• Against this backdrop, enterprises need to understand which emerging technologies are impacting their sector and how various companies are implementing them to meet various challenges.
• The innovation landscape report in 5G network slicing published by GlobalData covers some of the key trends, use cases, and real-world examples related to the implementation of emerging technologies across several cross-sector applications.
