Our goals are to drive open networks, virtual services and a software-centric future. “TELUS is always at the forefront of technology advancements. “We are thrilled with the outcome – it shows that the network slicing technology is getting ready and we can take a leap forward in opening network services to serve large, untapped market opportunities,” said Ibrahim Gedeon, Chief Technology Officer, TELUS. Each slice provides a dedicated network to meet the needs of specific applications that can create new revenue opportunities, enabling maximum return on investment and providing differentiated services at scale. End-to-end network slicing will support every industry as they use IoT opportunities and low-latency services to find new business models and use cases.

The appetite for 5G and potential applications is already sizable.

With the completion of this network slicing proof of concept, TELUS and Ericsson have successfully tested the maturity of standards and readiness of commercial products to meet the needs of enterprises and industry verticals. TELUS and Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) have successfully conducted the first multi-vendor network slicing proof of concept in a lab environment based on 3GPP Release 16 and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Layer 3 NW Yang Model (元NM).
