Samsung Electronics and Japanese operator KDDI asay that they have successfully achieved Service Level Agreement (SLA) assurance network slicing in a field trial conducted in Tokyo, Japan.
In a release, the Korean vendor said that the companies proved that they could generate multiple network slices using a RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) on a live commercial 5G Standalone (SA) network. The RIC, provided by Samsung in this field trial, is a software-based component of the Open RAN architecture that optimizes the radio resources of the RAN to improve the overall network quality.
