Singtel, Nokia to jointly test 5G network slicing

It will provide customisable case uses in areas like cloud gaming and manufacturing.

Singtel and Nokia will jointly develop and trial 5G network slicing, based on a Network as a Service (NaaS) approach that will provide a variety of customisable use cases, according to a news release.

Network slicing allows multiple virtual networks to be created atop a physical network, the latest in a series of trials that Singtel and its partners have been working to develop use cases in areas like cloud gaming, manufacturing, and maritime operations.

The NaaS platform will grant Singtel greater control and visibility of services across the network whilst addressing specific needs of enterprises such as security and network performance in latency, bandwidth and availability.

Trials will be conducted and tested with organisations later this year in Singapore.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
