Deutsche Telekom has partnered with Huawei to showcase all cloud based 5G E2E network slicing demo including RAN, Transport and Core network during the recent MWC in Barcelona.
The joint demo was conducted in Deutsche Telekom’s 5G:haus lab based in Bonn, Germany, and aims to validate the global leading network slicing technology applied for the future-coming diversity 5G applications.
5G E2E network slicing technology was based on Huawei all cloud architecture, enabled multiple industry service over one physical network. Massive MIMO with C-band realized 1Gbps throughput. CloudRAN allocated radio resource for eMBB slice and guaranteed low latency slice based on slice awareness capability. Cloudified transport network (aka. CloudMetro) achieved data plane isolation over IP+Optical Infrastructure, maintained different network topologies and SLAs (service level agreement) with respective control plane.
The network slicing management function provided slice design, deployment and monitor capabilities for fast operation. 5G network slicing technology will help the operators structure an open and flexible platform to support various services, said Huawei.
