Private 5G and network slicing set to drive enterprise adoption of 5G
In a wide-ranging conversation with RCR Wireless News, Verizon Business Chief Revenue Officer for Global Enterprise and Public Sector Massimo Peselli shared his outlook for 2024. With a growing private 5G business and ongoing work on network slicing, Peselli said enterprises, including small- to medium-sized businesses, are increasingly interested in using 5G to understand 'how this can help their business.'
Verizon started moving commercial traffic to its 5G Standalone network in late 2022; the standalone mode of operation is a prerequisite for network slicing which is all about creating cross-domain virtual partitions of a network that are tuned to the specific quality of service needs of a specific business, use case or application. In November last year, the company demonstrated 5G network slicing for a public safety wherein mission critical video and data traffic traversed a dedicated slice of the public network.
