Portfolio news – innovative software toolkit for premium 5G experiences

In this edition, we’re giving you a more detailed introduction to our newly launched software toolkit that makes services with differentiated connectivity for premium 5G experiences a reality.?

It helps communications service providers upgrade the value of 5G services with performance and connectivity differentiation enhancements aimed at experience-based offerings.?

For a speedy comprehension, check out the video about the toolkit ?? ?

You can also read the press release explaining this great software toolkit from all angles.

Why does it matter??

Internet connectivity is reshaping our professional and personal lives in many ways. 5G, with its faster connectivity speeds, ultra-low latency, and greater bandwidth, takes us further by enabling enhanced video and gaming, remote control, Augmented Reality (AR), and other new use cases. And we love it when it all works impeccably!?

But there is something that end-users don’t think about – that these rising use cases place higher demands on the network performance.?

The need to continue improving mobile network performance capabilities and to meet the requirements for quality of experience grows with the uptake of new services, and the time has come when the one-fits-all approach to wireless connectivity is no longer good enough.?

What does the new software toolkit enable??

It is designed?to deliver at committed performance levels for use cases with high requirements on reliability and latency. Examples of such use cases are lag-free mobile cloud gaming, real-time media for video conferencing/live broadcasting, remote-controlled machines/vehicles, and future XR applications.?

It includes capabilities in:?

• Massive MIMO: software innovations for extra capacity gain for smoother introduction of new services.?
• Advanced RAN Slicing: improved Service Level Agreement fulfilment for efficient monetization of new services.?
• Time-Critical Communication: improved consistent low latency for real-time media experiences even in congested networks and under poor radio conditions.?
• 5G Core: new service differentiation and data boost upsell of premium connectivity by providing a shopping window to the end user via the device OS.?

Examples of network slicing in action

Since 2021, when we launched the basic functionalities of Network Slicing and Time-Critical Communication, trials and tests were performed with the leading service providers. Nowadays, as technology matures and 5G standalone takes off worldwide, we see the progression from exploration toward commercialization.??

Read some of the exceptional case examples , such as live broadcasting of the King's coronation, 5G for smart policing, or slicing for developers. ???
