Nokia and Google made smart progress toward broader adoption of 5G network slicing technology, tying together multiple network slices and applications to a single smartphone device.
The trial tapped user equipment route selection policy (URSP) technology to link a Google Pixel 6 phone running the Android 13 operating system to multiple network slices running consumer and enterprise applications. The URSP technology allows the device to dynamically select and connect to different network slices that can be customized based on network performance, traffic routing, latency, and security.
The work used Nokia’s 4G/5G network slicing platform running across a RAN transport core. It also included 4G LTE-5G new radio (NR) slice interworking functionality that will allow operators more control over the amount of resources dedicated to each network slice.
Google initially included URSP technology in its Android 12 OS released late last year. It validated the technology to work across Ericsson and Nokia radio access network (RAN) equipment and core network platforms. Ericsson conducted a URSP proof of concept at that time with Google and Taiwan operator Far EasTone.
Nokia initially unveiled its network slicing ambitions in mid-2020, rolling out vendor- and network-agnostic software will allow network operators to spin up and scale down virtual slices of their respective networks for various uses.
Rival Ericsson showed similar capabilities in early 2021.
5G Network Slicing Slices
Network slicing is a key development packed into the numerous standards and features of 5G, and it’s expected to start gaining traction as a means for operators to assemble private or app-specific networks on the fly.
A recent report from ABI Research noted that enterprises are expected to “pay a premium for 5G slices that guarantee [service level agreements] for diverse services as opposed to uniform offerings. Furthermore, enterprises have differentiated requirements for isolation and security.”
The firm expects 5G slicing revenues to grow from $309 million this year to $24 billion by 2028. It noted that the technology could also replace features currently being offered in private networks.
“Ultimately, the core of the 5G slicing ‘dream’ is a business goal, not just a technology goal,” ABI Research analyst Don Alusha wrote. “It involves taking a quantum leap forward in how business is conducted within the industry and by the industry’s customers. In contrast to 3G and 4G, with 5G, the industry should focus on value not from technology per se but rather from the strategic leap forward it can enable. Consequently, a cautious approach is required so that the industry finds in 5G slicing a reasonable basis for taking actions that predictably and positively affect vendors’ and CSPs’ revenues.”
