Amdocs this week announced the availability of its 5G Slice Manager solution to help Operators in managing the life cycle of network slices across the siloed operational network domains such as core, transport and RAN.
The solution is designed to help service providers accelerate their 5G journey, providing a comprehensive set of capabilities to manage and monetize 5G network slices from design to creation, launch and on-going closed-loop operations. As service providers accelerate the deployment of 5G networks, the introduction of capabilities such as network slicing and edge computing will introduce new complexity in managing the life cycle of services. Realizing the full business potential of 5G requires solutions to address this challenge.
Amdocs 5G Slice Manager helps service providers maximize the monetization of 5G networks through automated and streamlined management of innovative services that are based on 5G network slicing.
Amdocs claims that its solution is being actively trialed by service providers, including a leading operator in North America that used the system to instantiate 5G core components, dynamically select and allocate underlying cloud resources, and view the live status data and event-driven updates via the inventory capability. Amdocs 5G Slice Manager enables service providers to automate network slice life cycle management in whatever stage of the journey they are at in their 5G slicing deployment, whether network operations focused, IT/monetization systems driven, or new business enablement.

5G network slicing will allow operators to tailor and slice the network to address specific use-case and customer requirements, a significant change from the previous generation of one-size-fits-all mobile networks.

Combined with Amdocs CES20’s offer creation, converged charging and real-time billing capabilities, we believe that the slice manager becomes a core component of delivering enhanced experiences for users and creates a monetization opportunity for CSPs.
