Wireless communication growth has been on the rise, reaching newer industry segments such as the automotive and health industries. Each segment served by the wireless industry has different requirements, some needing ultra-high bandwidth while some requiring exceedingly low latency. With future wireless cellular Internet of Things (IoT) applications like 5G, Narrow-Band IoT (NB-IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) communications poised to offer diverse services with a mix of requirements, having dedicated networks that can perform dynamic resource utilization will be important.  

Network slicing will play a pivotal role in addressing varied use cases by enabling dedicated virtualized network slices for each use case. This blog will emphasize how network slicing can help provide a cost-efficient way for Managed Service Operators (MSOs) to deliver differential services to the end user.
