The most advanced 5G network slicing technology KKBOX concert with thousands of people and medical emergency corridor commercial case

Chunghwa Telecom is actively investing in the construction of 5G Standalone (SA) architecture. 5G network slicing is one of the most advanced technologies in the 5G SA architecture. It can cut out dedicated channels from the 5G network and connect them to the network. It provides stable mobile communication transmission during peak hours and is especially suitable for large-scale 5G applications that require guaranteed bandwidth. Compared with traditional 5G private network construction, the preparation time for 5G network slicing is shorter, so it is suitable for temporary or short-term needs. Chunghwa Telecom recently used 5G network slicing technology to create "5G x AI-generated music and images" on the KKBOX chart, creating the first interactive performance for thousands of people in a concert; it also collaborated with St. Paul's Hospital to create the first 5G network slicing service combined with emergency rescue system to build Taiwan's first "5G Emergency Rescue Green Corridor" to improve the efficiency of emergency treatment.

The two powers join hands in cross-border alliance to promote the rapid popularization of 5G SA innovative application services
