5G network slicing can allow federal agencies to create private, secure, and customized logical networks. Network slicing can enable agencies to tailor the network to meet mission specific needs, helping to guarantee resource availability, and enable quality of service based on the application and use case.

This can be used when one application sends a private file with the ability for other 5G network slices to deliver additional packets simultaneously. It is the idea that a network can have the attributes needed when required, with the ability to simultaneously change and support slices on the same device and same bandwidth.

These were the key themes of our new Government Technology Insider podcast about how 5G network slicing can enable future mission success for agencies. Host Matt Langan talked with Troy Mitchell, National Security Team Account Manager, Verizon, and Stephen Booher, Principal for 5G Solutions at Booz Allen Hamilton, about the 5G network slicing-enabled future. Both executives also discussed particular use cases for agencies, and how each slice is an isolated end-to-end tailorable network.
