2021: End to End Network Slicing

The Challenge:

  • Provision a network slice from the back-office through the core to the edge and radio
  • Integrate and Interoperate interfaces necessary for orchestrated slicing
  • Demonstrate impact on video delivery use case
  • Set the stage for full private mobile networking
