Network Slicing is a new technology that is available on 5G standalone networks. This technology enables Verizon to create and manage multiple virtual networks within the physical network infrastructure. A slice allows for tailoring of specific network attributes to specific customer needs like latency, throughput and availability. This capability, designed for network traffic on Verizon’s new cloud-native, containerized, virtualized standalone 5G core, will offer unprecedented levels of service agility, flexibility and automated scalability.
The Verizon Frontline Network Slice - Connected Vehicle leverages the 5G Standalone Core capabilities to establish a virtual network tailored for first responders. It is optimized to help provide consistent performance in high traffic conditions for applications and devices that are connected to the 5G in-vehicle router.
Our Verizon Frontline Network Slice - Connected Vehicle allows first responders access to powerful in-vehicle connectivity, providing an enhanced mobile working environment and with access to dedicated network resources. This will help ensure that mission-critical communications are available to help first responders perform their duties.
