Network Slicing is an overarching concept addressing the
diversity of use cases being coped with by one physical 5G network.
5G Introduction
Network Slicing Key Aspects
 Networks are realized as software layer
on top of a common infrastructure
 Functionality will adapt to specific use
cases (e.g. ID, authentication…)
 Resources can be dedicated or shared
(radio, servers…)
 Per slice dedicated network
management
 New business models possible (e.g.
integration into customer environment or
customer provided functionality)

8. 8
To fulfill the requirements for 5G a lot of new spectrum needs to be
allocated. For some bands an overlap with existing band use is likely.
01 Introduction – Spectrum Outlook for 5G
Potential Spectrum Bands for 5G
Due to limited availability of sub 6GHz spectrum 5G will need to operate in higher bands (20+ GHz). Careful consideration and
alignment with other spectrum users will be required. This is currently under research (which bands to be allowed for 5G use).

5G imposes challenges due to more nodes and high connectivity
requirements.

Network Structure Evolution
Main challenges of 5G deployments will be related to obtaining spectrum as well as the permits to deploy small cells and
massive MIMO antennas, as well as the required high capacity connectivity for backhaul links.

to many industries, predictability is key!
5G – Use Cases
Real-time

Processing in

 Use cases for different industries differ
in terms of their latency requirements.
 Medium latency at 20 – 100 ms is
feasible for most use cases today.
 Below 20 ms latency is considered ultra-
low latency. This is only required by few
use cases, e.g., Robotics, car
connectivity and gaming.
 Industry applications request predict-
ability for their network connection –
both in terms of data rate and latency.
Latency predictability is required
for most industry applications.
Therefore operators have to think
about managed latency offers.ManagedUltra Low MediumRequirement

 3G+4G developments have leveraged
the increase of data revenues as % of
total revenues.
 Despite increase in consumption, pure
data ARPU, might not increase
significantly as a ceiling is being reached
(approx. 80%)
 4G will still be a dominant technology
in terms of coverage and handset
penetration in LATAM in 2025
 5G take up in terms of handsets might
be slower.
5G – Business Case Considerations

19. 19
Why invest in 5G?
• 4G business case was justified by the increase of Data Revenues and lower cost per
MB. On 5G % of pure Data Revenues are reaching a ceiling (70-80% of total
revenues). There is some potential for cost reduction due to spectral efficiency.
• 5G features are not only about more speed, but also other tech characteristics that
enable new business opportunities and models (which will require new ways to sell –
no dumb pipe anymore)
• Investing in 5G requires a new approach to business overhauling the traditional approach
 On mass market, IoT and the ability/demand to consume richer content can
create specific business models around media/devices partly controlled by the
operators
 On B2B and B2B2C, a dedicated digital ecosystem needs to be built (start ups,
vendors, municipalities, utilities, …)
5G – Business Case Considerations

20. 20
Drivers and Barriers for 5G in Latam are balanced. Operators and
regulators need to tackle with the correct strategy.
Drivers
1. Continued growth of data consumption
2. eMBB allows for bundling with premium media content
3. Slicing allows segmenting the market with
higher returns
4. Fixed wireless for MNOs suburban areas in Latam
5. Forward integration in IoT value chain/new business
models
1. Higher spectral efficiency of 5G
2. Cost effectiveness of NFV/SDN
3. Reuse of consumer routers for small cell deployment
and FTTP services (for Integrated providers)
1. Faster adoption by operators does not necessarily
translate to faster handset change in Latam
2. Low willingness to pay for simple eMBB
3. Reduced network effect
1. 4G investment still ongoing (coverage, VoLTE)
2. Cost of spectrum (fees, coverage, QoS obligations)
3. Higher number of sites/antennas especially in urban
areas or indoor environments – risk of power inbalances
4. Increased backhaul requirements / E2E fiber roll out
5. Less economies of scale
6. Transaction costs of ecosystem build up/partnering
7. Management of network generations from 2G to 5G

However, the deployment of key capabilities should be started within 4G
already to prepare for a later smooth integration with 5G .

NFV/SDN
▪ LATAM operators are still deploying 4G
and 4.5G networks
▪ Also VoLTE services are still being
deployed
▪ Many IoT solutions can already be
implemented with NB-IoT /LTE-M, they
do not require a 5G network.
▪ EDGE computing for low latency
applications is technology generation
agnostic and can be implemented earlier if
use cases develop.
▪ NFV/ SDN are critical enablers of 5G
network slicing function and should be
developed in parallel regardless to
leverage its potential in terms of flexibility,
T2M and cost reduction.

04 Implications for Regulatory Policy

23. 23
Spectrum issues and enabling new business models are key areas of
public policies and regulations for 5G deployments.
5G – Regulatory Policy Considerations
Key Considerations for Public Policy and Regulations
ENABLE NEW BUSINESS MODELS
• Passive access obligations for
pivotal site owners
• Infrastructure sharing for small
cells
• Wholesale providers/ capacity
providers of small cells
• Intermediaries/ MVNEs/ MVNOs
• Private 5G networks (verticals)
• Open Standards for EDGE
computing
• Flexible Net Neutrality for
deployment of network slicing
SUPPLY OF SPECTRUM
• National frequency bands allocation
• International alignment
• Flexible assignment methods
• Differentiated license conditions (e.g.
coverage, QoS) for use cases
• Consideration of secondary spectrum
usage/ subleasing for e.g. private 5G
networks
OTHER
• National Broadband Plans and rural
fiber for 5G backhauling
• Provision of access to public
infrastructure
• Alignment with other sectoral
regulations in regards to network
reliability, e.g. for drones/air traffic
control, medical applications, utility
controlling
