Traditional networks operate like a one-size-fits-all pipeline, forcing every application and user to share the same resources. This approach leads to bottlenecks that slow response times, disrupt operations, and leave businesses unable to capitalise on real-time opportunities. Missed chances to innovate, delays in customer service, and strained infrastructures become costly setbacks that limit growth.
5G network slicing offers a way to overcome these limitations. Tailoring connectivity to your business's needs delivers faster, more responsive, and more adaptable performance. Enterprises can move toward a future where connectivity is a catalyst for growth.
What if highways were designed for all vehicles operating without dedicated lanes, from bikes to ambulances? Traffic congestion would slow emergency services, delay commuters, and hinder logistics. Now, picture a system where each lane is custom-built—ambulances have priority, trucks get space to move efficiently, and regular traffic flows smoothly.
This is how 5G network slicing operates. Instead of treating every connection equally, it carves out dedicated “lanes” within a single physical network. Each slice is tailored to specific needs, ensuring mission-critical applications like emergency services or real-time healthcare monitoring data get the desired speed and security. This level of customisation enables enterprises to prioritise resources, reduce latency, and maintain optimal performance across diverse use cases.
Leveraging this tech, Singtel 5G+ Priority, optimises network resources according to the needs and priorities of individual users, applications, or enterprises. With Singtel 5G+ Priority, businesses gain control over their connectivity, allocating resources to meet specific needs and ensuring every aspect of their operations is supported with precision and reliability.
Connectivity issues cost businesses more than they realise, with 26%1 of companies losing revenue due to unreliable networks. In the U.K., recent research found that over a quarter of businesses reported lost sales or missed opportunities caused by connectivity problems. At the same time, nearly a third struggled to communicate effectively with customers. Despite this, an Aberdeen Research study revealed that only 22%1 of organisations prioritise reducing mobile technology costs. While cutting mobile technology costs is a way to save money, poor connectivity often leads to hidden expenses. These include IT troubleshooting, lost productivity, and costly workarounds, ultimately increasing operational costs instead of reducing them. Worse yet, slow Internet can become a security risk, forcing employees to rely on unsecured networks, and heightening the threat of data breaches, financial penalties, and reputational damage.2
