Far EasTone and Ericsson

A breakthrough in 5G dynamic network slicing

A world-class recipe for 5G monetization success

Available in English 繁體中文

Far EasTone and Ericsson marked a breakthrough in 5G network slicing with the world’s first 5G end-to-end (E2E) multiple network slicing on multiple commercial Android devices. The trial allowed each app to have its own communication channel with promised speed, latency and reliability – all on one device and one network. Discover their key learnings from the project and how it’s unlocking the significant potential of 5G.

Two completely different user profiles in one mobile device? With Ericsson Dynamic Network Slicing it can be managed all the way to the network capabilities of RAN Slicing. Download full case study to see how Far EasTone is doing it.

The network slicing trial resulted in 'One device. Two different profiles.' Between work and personal profiles every app stays separate – emails, calendar, docs, phots. The two versions never share data, and the IT team can never see your personal profile. ​

Highlights

In November 2021, Far EasTone Telecommunications (FET) and Ericsson demonstrated the first 5G E2E multiple network slicing on multiple commercial Android devices, based on the Ericsson-powered 5G standalone (SA) system. This trial showcased part of the functionality of the recently announced Ericsson Dynamic Network Slice Selection solution, marking a breakthrough in network slicing capabilities on a 5G SA network and paving the way for further ecosystem development in this important area.

E2E network slicing is disruptive and will lead to a paradigm shift. For FET it’s opening up new enterprise and consumer opportunities, including monetizing the consumer segment beyond traditional mobile broadband. It will enable future smartphones to support different personal profiles and cost for data traffic to apps to be handled in new more advanced ways – leading to new innovative ways to cooperate with ecosystem partners for a forward-looking technology.

Serving up new 5G monetization opportunities

Recognized as the world’s best 5G network, FET and Ericsson are continuing to push the boundaries of 5G. FET identified some key steps to follow to master the recipe for 5G slicing success.

The ingredients

  1. A handful of trust​ - FET and Ericsson have partnered for more than two decades, heightening their ways of working together and solidifying strong bonds of trust.

  2. High-quality hardware and software​ - Ericsson brought to the table it’s end-to-end 5G standalone network, including solutions from both their RAN and Core portfolios.​

  3. Compatible and capable devices - Multiple commercially available Android 12-powered Pixel 6 devices and the operating.

The important steps to follow in the recipe for 5G slicing success​

  1. Identify the next breakthrough technology The first step in FET’s recipe focuses on an advanced technological ingredient that is a key enabler for monetization: URSP.
  2. Unleash new business opportunities FET is looking at four main facilitators for new business opportunities.

  3. Invite your friends to the table: Driving industry change together is key.

James Yen
James Yen, Senior Director, Head of Network Planning/Integration, Network and Technology Division, Far EasTone says: "Radio Resource Partitioning (RRP) functionality is the missing piece of the E2E private business network puzzle. Now we also have the 5G RAN slicing software solution which secures E2E performance for each slice."
Jawad Manssour
Jawad Manssour, Key Account Manager, Ericsson, says: "The URSP (User equipment Route Selection Policy) trial wasn’t about demonstrating technology for the sake of technology or being first in the world, instead we were looking at innovative ways to help FET create additional value from their superior 5G network and monetize their 5G investments."
