Cisco and DISH Wireless today announced proof-of-concept testing of a first-of-its-kind network slicing solution in a hybrid cloud environment based on Cisco hardware and software.
Network slicing helps DISH Wireless separate and efficiently manage network traffic by use case and application, and determine the appropriate performance requirements for each type. Proof-of-concept testing using innovative Cisco technology will enable DISH Wireless to offer enterprise customers simplified deployment of its 5G services with more meaningful service level agreements (SLAs) .
Commitment to engineering innovation
Cisco is a major contributor to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and has helped define the key dimensions of slicing. Cisco and DISH Wireless are working together to enable new capabilities in routing and network automation, while delivering service guarantees and driving simplification, monetization, and sustainability. Cisco is expanding in this area, especially with “shared slices,” with segment routing and an intent-driven, declarative network automation platform that allows you to rapidly deploy differentiated services while ensuring end-to-end optimization. has promoted innovation. Cisco introduced the Transport Slice Automation feature in Cisco Crosswork Network Controller version 6.0.
