CLOUD AND CYBER
The introduction of network slicing has the potential to optimise infrastructure utilisation and resource allocation .
Improving 5G efficiency with network slicing With network slicing , giving dedicated bandwidth to users at the edge of the network without having to build private systems over a wide area results in a network more responsive to the customers ' needs .
It is now possible , for example , to provide an in-person augmented reality gaming experience for consumers at the edge of the network , delivered through the edge cloud and without building specific radio systems in a physical location to support it .
“ Network slicing is all about offering service-level-driven services . These

“ On top of an existing 5G network , the infrastructure needed to facilitate network slicing is a modern OSS and BSS architecture , which provides automated business and operational processes to
efficiently manage network slices and maximise revenues .
“ In particular , OSS orchestration is the key component that ensures the required network functions are flexibly created , quickly deployed , and automatically managed throughout the life cycle .”

services are based on giving customers dedicated bandwidth and / or low latency capacity for services that span the RAN , edge and cloud , ultimately making their offerings more customisable based on their customers ' unique needs .
“ It also allows CSPs to create additional revenue-generating offerings and targeted services for key verticals like Blue Lights providers , where network availability and latency are vital considerations ,” notes Ian
