Network Slicing is a 5G network capability that provides distinct virtual network “slices” on top of a shared 5G architecture. Each slice can have its own characteristics, logical topology, and security rules to optimize network characteristics for specific use cases. (For example, throughput and latency.) Network slices are enabled by 5G standalone (5G SA) networks.
