Ribbon Introduces Hybrid Slicing for 5G Networks Using Xilinx Virtex Ultrascale+ Technology
"Today's announcement highlights our leadership and innovation in packet optical networking," said
Slicing enables the distinct service classes that are integral to 5G. While hard slicing is necessary to meet the stringent availability, bandwidth and security demands of highly sensitive, ultra-reliable low latency communication (urLLC) services such as industrial automation, robotic surgery and other remote healthcare applications, it is inefficient for less sensitive services. Soft slicing offers more lenient isolation for services with lower critical thresholds.
Operators who leverage hybrid slicing, the combination of both hard and soft slicing on a single network solution, gain the ability to efficiently run all of their traffic on one infrastructure. Hybrid slicing also enables traffic prioritization with a dedicated passthrough for a specified service, delivering guaranteed QoS while avoiding any congestion on the network.
"We value our relationship with Ribbon and the advances we've made in the packet optical networking space together," said
Ribbon will highlight its 5G solutions including hybrid slicing during its 5G Perspectives virtual event on
