Network Resource Allocation

Unlike previous iterations of network slicing that require customers to pre-define their network needs, the new software solution intelligently allocates network resources to meet the varying workloads of enterprise and consumer applications, thereby overcoming issues of over- or under-provisioning and eliminating the risk of compromising network performance.

Benefits for Enterprise Customers

ARRP also simplifies the complexity of network management for enterprise customers and is particularly beneficial for mission-critical applications where demands on the network frequently change abruptly, Singtel explained in a joint statement.

Implementation at the Grand Prix

The ARRP was put to the test during the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, where it supported over 250,000 attendees with seamless connectivity for live streaming, social media sharing, and ride-hailing services.

Singtel Explores New Use Cases

Singtel Singapore said, "With Ericsson’s Automated Radio Resource Partitioning (ARRP), businesses only need to specify their desired outcomes, and the software handles the rest. Even with no knowledge of network resourcing and management, businesses can tap into the new capabilities of 5G and network slicing. This paves the way for businesses to explore new use cases in dynamic environments like homeland security, healthcare, smart manufacturing, and even high-traffic consumer events."
