• The new 5G RAN Slicing solution will enable operators to offer diversified services in various quality and performance classes on a large scale
• Service classification is based on quality (QoS) and resource allocation (Slicing)
• New opportunities to generate revenue from new business areas
• Control over the terms of service (SLA) broken down by system resources (slicing) Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has launched a new 5G Network Slicing solution for Radio Access Networks (RANs) that will enable operators to create new custom 5G services with large-scale efficiency.

Ericsson 5G RAN Slicing is now available on the market. The new solution allocates radio resources with a 1 millisecond schedule. Service classification is based on quality (QoS) and resource allocation (slicing). Network slicing supports multiple logical networks for different types of services under one common infrastructure. This is a key factor in enabling 5G revenue generation such as innovative video, in-car connectivity and augmented reality. According to an Ericsson report, it is estimated that by 2030 the consumer market potential for operators will be $ 712 billion. The addressable market for Enterprise Network Slicing alone is projected to reach $ 300 billion by 2025 (GSMA data). As 5G grows, mobile network operators are expanding the return on their investment by focusing on innovative and high-income services such as cloud gaming, smart factories, and smart healthcare.

Per Narvinger, Head of Product Area Networks at Ericsson, said: "Ericsson 5G RAN Slicing is dynamically optimizing radio solutions and delivering efficiency. What sets our solution apart is the enhanced end-to-end management and orchestration support for fast and efficient service delivery. This enables operators to offer diversified services in different quality classes, needed to earn from investments in 5G in. With the 5G platform as an innovative platform, we continue to build value for our customers ”.

Network Slicing is one of the main 5G deployment models. Ericsson is continuously committed to 5G Network Slicing development for RAN, Transport, CORE network and orchestration worldwide, covering consumer and enterprise / industry segment services such as remote operations, enhanced video, AR / VR, TV / Streaming media for sporting events , games in the cloud, smart city and applications for Industry 4.0 and public safety.
Executive Officer, Chief Director of Mobile Technology at KDDI, says: "Creating end-to-end solutions is the key to earning from 5G investments, and Network Slicing RAN will help make that happen."
Mark Düsener, Head of Mobile and Mass Market Communication at Swisscom, said: “We are getting ready for the next 5G phase where we expect Network Slicing and RAN Slicing is key to guaranteeing performance. Thanks to the efficient sharing of network resources in various segments, we will be able to provide communication for various 5G applications, such as public security or mobile private networks. "

Sue Rudd, Director, Networks and Service Platforms, Strategy Analytics, says: “Ericsson is the first vendor to offer a full end-to-end Network Slicing solution. This truly end-to-end approach integrates radio optimization with policy-driven network orchestration to ensure secure, virtualized partitioning into private RANs without losing 30-40 percent of spectrum capacity due to "hard split". Ericsson's Real-time Dynamic Network Slicing RAN bridges the gap in the RAN, making e2e notching profitable. "
