The trial employed Ericsson’s Dynamic Network Slicing Selection and its 5G RAN slicing, which delivered the required network capabilities for this new solution at Oppo’s 5G Communications Lab.
The trial saw the creation of multiple virtual end-to-end network slices that allow businesses and enterprises with specific requirements to use defined portions without switching devices.
Ericsson stated that the trial is “part of its commitment work with the device ecosystem to introduce 3GPP-standards based user equipment route selection policies (URSP) in 5G networks to enable application traffic steering with network slices.”
Ericsson says 3GPP enables single devices o use multiple network slices and is crucial in bringing the benefits of 5G connectivity to consumers.
Ericsson has previously demonstrated the world’s first end-to-end multiple network slicing on several Android devices with Taiwanese operator Far EasTone (FET).
