The hidden cost of traditional networks

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 is 5G network slicing

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.

The cost of connectivity issues for businesses

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

 

From healthcare to retail: how Singtel 5G+ Priority can transform connectivity across industries

Healthcare

Healthcare

First responders receive prioritised connectivity during emergencies for fast communication. Dedicated bandwidth allocation supports real-time patient monitoring, telemedicine, and medical devices with low-latency, high-bandwidth networks, enabling quicker diagnoses and better outcomes for patients and healthcare professionals.
Manufacturing

Manufacturing

Future factories rely on IoT sensors, robotics, and AI-driven automation. In environments where downtime is unacceptable, 5G+ Priority ensures that essential systems—such as automated assembly lines or precision sensors—maintain seamless connectivity even during network congestion. By dedicating slices for key apps, 5G+ Priority reduces latency and maintains uninterrupted performance, enabling faster data processing, real-time decision-making, and consistent operations across the factory floor.
Hybrid Workforce

Hybrid Workforce

As work models evolve, the hybrid workforce demands robust and secure connectivity for seamless video conferencing, collaborative tools, and data sharing. 5G+ Priority enables bandwidth allocation for these essential activities, allowing organisations to maintain efficiency and employee satisfaction without compromising security.
Government

Government

Reliable connectivity is non-negotiable for government agencies and emergency services. Whether disaster response, secure communication during crises, or critical public services, 5G+ Priority prioritises network access when it matters most, enabling swift and effective action to protect citizens and infrastructure.
Retail

Retail

5G+ Priority keeps essential services like payment systems and real-time inventory updates running smoothly, even during peak hours or sale seasons. By prioritising these functions, it enables seamless transactions, personalised recommendations, and efficient operations for a frictionless shopping experience.

Empower your teams with flexible, on-demand connectivity

Singtel 5G+ Priority is more than just faster Internet and more intelligent, strategic connectivity. Mobile Device Management (MDM) platforms give businesses control over network resources. Enterprises can configure and manage User Equipment Route Selection Policy (URSP) to allocate 5G data where needed most—whether for a single application, a department, or a specific use case.
