With the rollout of 5G standalone (5G SA) networks, interest in the customised network capabilities that network slicing can create is growing. While slicing has use cases in the consumer segment (e.g. gaming), it is the enterprise market (e.g. IoT applications across vertical sectors) that is attracting more attention.

Driven by the streamlining and revamping of business practices through digitisation, and aggressive competition in ecosystems such as logistics, manufacturing and premium digital entertainment, enterprises across all industry sectors are seeking to squeeze the last drop of performance from their digital assets. This is taking place in a capital-rich, manpower-poor, post-pandemic environment. Network slicing is well positioned to improve business performance and productivity, spurring interest in the new technology.
