Network Slice Booking

API Description
Use Cases

HD live streaming: Provide high-bandwidth, high-capacity and high-speed network slicing for high-definition live streaming scenarios to ensure high-definition and smooth live streaming effects and enhance the audience’s experience.

Smart Cities: In the context of smart cities, smart electricity meters require large connections, wide coverage, and low power consumption networks. Operators can ensure the network requirements of smart cities through appointment-based slicing technology.

Industrial IoT: Allocate dedicated network slices for industrial IoT applications, ensuring low-latency and high-reliability communication for critical operations.

Access Control: Provides control over which devices can access the reserved network slice.

Benefits

Enhanced Network Efficiency: Optimize network resource allocation by booking slices only when needed.

Customizable QoS: Tailor network performance to meet specific application requirements, such as low latency or high throughput.

Security Assurance: Can achieve end-to-end slice resource isolation to ensure that different businesses do not interfere with each other.

Elastic scalability: Supports elastic scalability, which not only ensures network security in user scenarios but also avoids the waste of long-term redundant resources.
