Future Experiment Opportunities
Network slicing
Imagine having multiple specialized lanes on your digital highway, each tailored for different types of traffic - that's network slicing. Like having dedicated lanes for VIPs, emergency vehicles, and regular traffic, ensuring each gets the performance they need. This means:
Features
- Tailored network segments customized for specific applications or services.
- Optimized resource allocation ensuring efficient use of network resources based on demand.
- Enhanced Quality of Service (QoS) guaranteeing the required performance levels for different slices
Perfect for
- Smart Cities
- Industrial IoT
- Entertainment
- Telemedicine
O-RAN
Think of it like having a flexible, open-source digital highway where you can choose the best components from various suppliers - that's O-RAN. As a customizable road system, it allows for seamless integration and innovation. This means:
Features
- Enhanced flexibility by being easily adaptable to new technologies and changing demands.
- Components from different vendors work together smoothly
- Reducing cost by leveraging open standards and competition.
Perfect for
- Smart Cities
- Rural Connectivity
- 5G Deployment
Network on Wheels
