Network Slicing

Fixed wireless Internet is a viable solution because of the inexpensive nature and quicker deployment times compared to wired Internet options.

It can be easy to get caught up in looking at speed alone as a deciding factor for many technologies. Speed is important but if we only assess speed we are going to miss the big picture.

Network slicing is one of the many innovations that is taking the 5G world by storm and DISH Wireless is using it like no other. Oracle is going to help DISH with its 5G core slicing by helping DISH Wireless provide a service-based architecture (SBA) for its 5G network that includes control plane network functions.

AWS is allowing a platform for DISH Wireless, its vendors, and consumers to gain more flexibility and control in terms of their 5G solutions and experience.

Nokia’s NetGuard Security suite will be offered through slice-specific Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and will provide security features for its subscribers.

As companies continue to look for ways to generate revenue from 5G still in its early stages, Ericsson is hoping that 5G network slicing will provide an avenue to do so in a variety of industries.

DISH has been vocal about its opposition to the DoD’s nationalized 5G network proposal and believes that providing a network slice would be a win-win situation for both parties and the wireless industry as a whole.
