Nokia and e& UAE have successfully showcased the world’s first fixed end-to-end network slicing solution optimized for gaming applications. Conducted in e& UAE’s Abu Dhabi labs, the trial used Nokia’s slicing solution to create dedicated, low-latency, high-speed network slices tailored for gaming and other premium services, such as remote work and enterprise applications.
The demonstration leveraged Nokia’s Altiplano, Corteca, and NSP domain controllers to allocate network resources autonomously across in-home, access, and transport networks. These network slices were customized to deliver specific characteristics like low latency, high speed, and quality of service (QoS). During the trial, the solution automatically detected a new gaming console and dynamically created a network slice, ensuring seamless gameplay. This approach demonstrates how operators can use network slicing to enhance customer experiences while unlocking new revenue streams.
“This trial sets a new benchmark in the industry and lays the foundation for future autonomous networks,” said Mohamed Salama, Head of Fixed Networks, Middle East & Africa at Nokia. Abdul Rahman Al Humaidan, Vice President of Fixed Access Network at e& UAE, emphasized the value of tailoring network slices to meet diverse service needs, stating that the technology enhances customer experiences and optimizes return on investment.
