Nokia and e& UAE showcase network slicing, delivering tailored, low-latency connectivity for gaming and premium services.

Nokia has announced that e& UAE is the first in the world to use its slicing solution to create a dedicated end-to-end network slice capable of meeting the speed and latency demands of today’s gaming applications. Part of a trial conducted in e& UAE’s Abu Dhabi labs; the demonstration highlights the various ways operators can use network slicing to enhance customer experiences. During the trial, network slices were created across the in-home Wi-Fi network and the fiber access network to ensure an end-to-end quality of experience.

Nokia’s solution, which includes Altiplano, Corteca and NSP domain controllers, allows operators to create – on-demand or autonomously – a cross-domain network slice with standard based specifications to deliver premium based services to end-users. Operators can create a dedicated slice to optimize the TV streaming or cloud gaming experience of a customer or create one for home working and enterprise applications. Each slice can be tailored to have different network characteristics depending on their specific requirements such as routing, bit rate, QoS, latency and security.

Using Nokia’s slicing solution e& UAE was able to automatically detect when a new gaming console comes online, and create, on demand, a dedicated, low latency, high speed network slice that ensured the ultimate gaming experience could be achieved. The trial highlights the power of Nokia’s solution to help operators better monetize their networks using dedicated slices that can be tailored to customers unique service or application needs.

We aim to incorporate cutting-edge technological advancements into our network. Utilizing Nokia’s slicing solution enables us to effortlessly manage our customers’ experience by designing tailored network slices for specific services and application requirements. This approach ensures the delivery of an exceptional digital experience while addressing diverse service needs effectively and enhancing return on investment.

– Abdul Rahman Al Humaidan, Vice President of Fixed Access Network, e& UAE

This trial sets a new benchmark in the industry and lays the foundation for future autonomous networks that can deliver premium services to customers in a whole new way. Our slicing solution is uniquely positioned to help operators like e& UAE maximize network investments, optimize resources and create new services for applications like gaming that have the power to enhance customer experiences and increase customer retention.
