18 18 Network Slicing

19 Three Alternative Network Scenarios Modeled 1. One big network 2. Separate networks 3. Network slicing This study was restricted to evaluating the impacts of network slicing in the core network only. 19

20 Benefits of Network Slicing

21 Overall Economic Impact of Network Slicing Network slicing enables: New revenue generation Lower opex Greater capex efficiency Result: Significantly increased economic benefit through new service launches.

30 3 MEF Services over 5G

31 MEF Services Over 5G Why? More and more traffic is now terminated on mobile devices Customers would like the same SLA at the office, home, or traveling Fiber availability is limited Copper plants are old and deteriorating Optimized for low bandwidth T1/E1 replacement Low CAPEX (FedEx vs. Technician) 31

32 Advantages of MEF Services Over 5G SERVICE ON DEMAND (TIME TO DELIVER = REVENUE) FAST ACTIVATION OUT-OF-BAND MANAGEMENT FOR SDN NETWORKS SUPPORTING IOT USE CASE 32
