Singapore telecom operator Singtel and Nokia have agreed to collaborate to develop and trial 5G network slicing capabilities, based on a Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) approach, the Asian telco said in a release.
Network slicing is a key 5G feature where multiple virtual networks can be created atop one physical network.
The NaaS platform, enabled by Nokia’s next-generation operations suite and cloud management products which automate the creation and delivery of digital services, will give Singtel greater control and visibility of services across the network while addressing specific 5G needs of enterprises, the telco added.
