5G slicing is a feature that is expected to define new services based on premium and ultra secure connectivity for enterprises. But slicing will also open new opportunities for consumers, either with customer visibility to directly purchase the slice or as part of a solution with enhanced performance based on a slice, following a B2B2C model. "A 5G slice is essentially a new capability unlike anything seen before, so customers and solution providers will need to understand the potential and embed that capability in their offering. Players that are able to incorporate this capability early will enjoy a competitive advantage based on improved customer experience." — Associated Vice President Alejandro Cadenas, Telco Research, IDC Europe
