2017-05-23 Press Release

In May 2017, NTT

DOCOMO and Ericsson

demonstrated the world´s

first 5G network slicing

solution with multiple slices

simultaneously connected

to the same device.

Live demo shows an example of network

slicing for robotics, showcasing a robot with a

head-mounted camera, realizing a video

stream and a robotic instruction sent over two

different slices

multiple slices on the same device

Two distinct new business opportunities

NFVI – a transformation from

purpose built nodes to a cloud

solution

Distributed cloud – Potential of

creating a new business for service

providers as well as enabling a

distribution of 5G Core and vRAN

Distributed Cloud

Bring cloud capabilities closers to consumers for innovations and value creations

Use Cases/Requirements

1) Performance, e.g. Latency,

bandwidth, security, availability

2) Cost/TCO, e.g. Compute

offload, content

staging/delivery, data

transfer/analytics

3) Scalability, Security, and

Regulations

Distribute workloads at optimal

location (local/centralized)

Distributed Cloud is the Ericsson solution enabling multi-access multi-cloud capabilities

anywhere in the network including Edge and facilitating service providers to unlock

potential of the network as the Open Platform for application innovations and drive top line
