Unleash 5G Opportunities with Amdocs 5G Slice Manager
With virtual infrastructure and programmable networks, the granularity with which service providers can tailor solutions will make a substantial difference to their ability to monetize the network. Using network slicing, mobile operators could differentiate their service offerings and provide network-as-a-service, opening network capabilities to third-party vendors, and meet the wide range of 5G use cases that users, businesses and industry are expected to use.
Amdocs 5G Slice Manager enables mobile operators to simplify and automate the creation and lifecycle management of network slices and benefit from an Open and Smart 5G network.
Open – Adoption of a distributed open architecture that leverages a multi-vendor eco-system provides service providers with increased agility, flexibility and improved efficiencies in running a mobile/5G network. Amdocs is pioneering open network solutions, based on open-source and industry standards such as ONAP, ORAN, ESTI/MANO, TMF and MEF.
Smart – Amdocs 5G Slice Manager enables service providers to run a smarter customer-centric network, infused with business-driven intelligence and automation, in all aspects of the end-to-end network slicing operations.
Amdocs has been named a winner in the Light Reading 2019 Leading Lights Awards program Most Innovative 5G Strategy category
Monetized – 5G network slicing business and customer-centric slice segmentation will create a paradigm shift in a CSP’s monetization possibilities. Amdocs 5G Slice Manager integration with the CSP’s ordering and charging systems, enhances the granularity and speed with which CSPs can support new business and monetization models, as well as introduce and deliver services. This in turn will substantially revolutionize their ability to unleash a whole new world of network services and monetization possibilities that can support complex B2C, B2B and B2B2x business models.
The Amdocs 5G Slice Manager solution is powered by the Linux Foundation’s Open Networking Automation Platform (ONAP) and TOSCA-based templates that represent the VNFs, CNFs and PNFs across the different network domains, as well as their policy and service assurance configurations.
Amdocs 5G Slice Manager automates the process of provisioning and modifying network slices and services, ensuring that all the building blocks that constitute each network slice are deployed, consistent with the specific service requirements that the network slice is expected to provide.
Reusability and the adoption of a template-based approach to simplifying the creation of new slices will drive significant cost saving and will eliminate errors and accelerate time to market.
The solution’s closed-loop service automation ensures these VNFs will scale on demand to accommodate changes in service and performance requirements. Amdocs’ 5G Slice Manager coordinates the coexistence of multiple network slices and guarantees that the required network, radio and infrastructure resources are available for each one, from the RAN all the way to the Core.
