Smart, efficient and dynamic end-to-end 5G network slicing management

Layout canvas

Managing the lifecycle of network slices requires the modeling, deployment, instantiation, ongoing maintenance and health-checking of numerous network functions deployed in multiple virtual and physical environments.

Our 5G Slice Manager sits at the top of the network management architecture – coordinating the RAN, transport and core network slice subnet operations and services, right across the operational domains.

With Slice Manager you can automate the following in real-time:

  • Logical network segmentation with slice customization
  • Logical network isolation
  • Quality of service control

It also serves as a charging trigger function that passes information about a slice’s activation, utilization and performance to the charging function.

Read on to see exactly how it works and the multiple benefits it brings to business.
