KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 23 (Bernama) -- Cradlepoint has demonstrated application-based traffic steering into two carrier-defined network slices on its fixed wireless and in-vehicle 5G enterprise networking solutions at Australian carrier, Optus’ Tech Day.
Using Cradlepoint 5G routers at the wide area network (WAN) edge and leveraging Optus’s 5G standalone live network based on Ericsson’s 5G Core and radio access network (RAN) with network slicing capability enabled, this was the world’s first demonstration of dual network slicing for businesses using a live production network.
According to Cradlepoint in a statement, the demonstration showed how carriers can create different network slices, each with its own performance characteristics and security rules, to uniquely support the different types of applications businesses rely on.
Cradlepoint senior vice president, Nathan McGregor said the ever-evolving capabilities of 5G connectivity are such an exciting part of network infrastructure today.
“This was a strong example of how Cradlepoint and Ericsson are working together to deliver solutions that will help carriers monetise their 5G infrastructure investment and facilitate the transition to 5G as essential WAN connectivity,” he said.
Meanwhile, Head of Ericsson Global Customer Unit, Singtel, Martin Wiktorin said: “Network slicing is a key enabler for unlocking opportunities through service differentiation and guaranteed performance.
“Using an end-to-end approach, Ericsson has developed the most complete network slicing portfolio including 5G Core and 5G RAN Slicing with quality of service differentiation for automated and fast service delivery of new and innovative 5G use cases,” Wiktorin added.
The demonstration showed premium and default slices, with the ability to recognise, classify and steer corporate applications into the correct slice.
Cradlepoint, the global leader in cloud-delivered LTE and 5G wireless network solutions is headquartered in Boise, Idaho, United States with international offices in Asia Pacific, Canada, Europe, India and Latin America.
