Nokia: successful network slicing trial in the Emirates

(CercleFinance.com) - Nokia has announced the successful completion of a network slicing trial with du, the leading telecommunications and digital services provider in the United Arab Emirates.


The trial is the first live transport slicing deployment in the UAE, which will enable the service provider to operate a variety of network services to meet different needs while remaining within the existing network infrastructure.

Network slicing enables operators to flexibly allocate resources for optimal performance and quality within each slice.

By leveraging Nokia's cutting-edge slicing technology with the Network Services Platform (NSP), du will provide a wide range of services such as ultra-reliable low-latency communications for gaming and video streaming, as well as massive machine-type communications that can be used for IoT devices. Ultimately, this approach will improve network utilization and save energy in the long term.

In addition, network slicing will offer enhanced security and privacy, service innovation, improved quality of service and efficient use of resources.

"Network slicing automates the creation, assurance and optimization of transport slices to facilitate dynamic services with specific requirements in terms of bandwidth, latency and reliability," said Rima Manna, vice president of network infrastructure sales for the Middle East and UAE country manager at Nokia.
