Same network, different quality: Network slicing to reshape telecoms

Network slicing is a technology that splits a single physical 5G network into multiple virtual networks and sets different bandwidth, latency, reliability and security for each service. It can keep communications for safety staff stable even when traffic surges at major events. Full implementation hinges on 5G standalone mode, which builds a 5G core network. South Korea has launched an emergency communications priority service and carriers are testing business models, while capacity, security and net neutrality issues remain.
