    Vodafone enhances event connectivity with 5G slicing technology

    Vodafone has successfully demonstrated the use of simultaneous 5G Standalone (5G SA) network slices at the recent Wales vs. Ireland Men’s Guinness Six Nations match in Cardiff. Working with Ericsson, Vodafone created two distinct network slices during the live event at the Principality Stadium.

    One slice supported former Wales rugby player Ellis Jenkins, who hosted a live watch-along of the match, ensuring smooth streaming for viewers. The second slice was dedicated to in-house photography at the stadium, allowing images to be uploaded without interference from slower internet speeds.

    Network slicing, a key feature of 5G SA, enables telecom operators to create separate virtual networks for different use cases. This flexibility is essential for events with large crowds, where network resources can be dynamically allocated to meet diverse needs.

    Why it’s important

    The successful trial of 5G SA network slicing by Vodafone highlights a significant advancement in mobile connectivity. By creating two isolated network slices for distinct use cases, Vodafone demonstrated the versatility of 5G Standalone technology in a real-world scenario. This trial exemplifies how network slicing can optimise operations, even in high-demand environments such as sports events.

    Network slicing allows for greater control over network resources, enabling telecom operators to tailor services for different sectors, including security, payment systems, and media. As 5G technology evolves, the ability to customise network experiences will become increasingly important for businesses and customers alike. Vodafone’s successful implementation of 5G SA paves the way for broader use of this technology in various industries.
