e& introduces UAE’s First 5G Network Slicing
e& UAE has introduced the region’s first commercial 5G network slicing product for business customers. This innovative solution operates over its standalone 5G network, offering ultra-reliable and customised connectivity. As a result, industries and organisations across both public and private sectors can now benefit from tailored network performance designed to meet their specific needs.
How 5G Network Slicing Works
Network slicing enables e& to partition its world-class 5G network into multiple virtual segments, each with dedicated resources. Consequently, businesses in sectors such as manufacturing, public safety, and port operations can optimise their connectivity for critical applications. Moreover, the solution supports a range of demands, from ultra-low latency to robust IoT capabilities for smart infrastructure. This ensures peak performance and reliability for mission-critical tasks.
Oscar Garcia, Senior Vice President of Business Marketing and Product Innovation at e& UAE, stated, “5G network slicing allows organisations to leverage reserved end-to-end capacity, guaranteeing performance for essential operations.” He added that this technology will support industry-specific use cases with the flexibility and reliability required for modern applications.
Tailored Solutions for Business Needs
e& offers flexible 5G slicing packages based on bandwidth requirements, allowing businesses to choose connectivity speeds aligned with their use cases. Additionally, the industrial 5G Customer End Device (CPE) acts as a dedicated access point, ensuring seamless integration and reliable performance for the subscribed network slice. Although these slices share the same physical network, they remain isolated in terms of traffic and data. This isolation prevents interference between slices, guaranteeing secure and consistent service for each customer.
By launching this pioneering service, e& UAE bridges the gap between standard 5G offerings and complex private networks. This approach delivers an agile and cost-effective connectivity solution, enabling businesses to create multiple virtual networks tailored to precise applications. Consequently, e& UAE is paving the way toward a smarter, more connected future across the region.
