Nokia and Singtel today (6 March) announced the successful implementation of IP transport slicing across an end-to-end 5G network. In a press release, Nokia noted that the pairās Proof of Concept (PoC) trial took place in Singtelās live test facility, dubbed ā5G Garageā, involving 5G radio, 5G core and Nokiaās IP transport network slicing solution. The tests evaluated āthe solutionās capabilities to deliver end-to-end service performance for different network slices and optimise network resources on demandā. It is understood that the solution enables āautomation of network slicing across the IP transport network to provide an improved customer experience for both the consumer and business market sectors.ā
The press release said: āThe Nokia solution for IP transport network slicing incorporates a highly scalable and resilient network infrastructure that leverages segment routing with traffic-engineering. This allows fine-grained service differentiation to meet stringent critical services SLAs. In addition, the Nokia Network Services Platform (NSP) provides a set of tools to manage the complete lifecycle of transport slices and automation capabilities to support transport network slice realization across multiple technologies, including IP, segment routing and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). The Nokia 7750 Service Router (SR) andĀ NSPĀ were used to conduct the trial.ā
