Network Slicing Feature

Etisalat's 5G Stand Alone (SA) service will provide customers with ultra-high speeds and a low-latency internet connection. Another key advantage is the Network Slicing feature, which allows the network to be "sliced" into customised virtual segments to support specific use cases or individual users.

The 5G SA core will now include capabilities such as edge computing, network slicing, 3GPP SA-guided network orchestration, and service-based architecture. These enhancements enable new commercial use cases and enhance the quality of the user experience.
