Network slicing allows operators to create virtualized end-to-end network slices on a shared physical infrastructure to meet the unique requirements of different industries and use cases. It has the potential to significantly increase operators' revenues by 2026 by addressing the needs of industries like automotive, healthcare, manufacturing and more. Dynamic orchestration is key to configuring elements across the RAN, transport and core networks to instantiate and manage these slices for different services and applications with varying latency and throughput needs.
