BT Group claimed to successfully deploy 5G standalone network slicing at a Christmas market in Belfast, with the trial occurring during the venue’s busiest two weeks of the year.<\/p>\n
Launched on the operator\u2019s EE mobile network, a dedicated slice of connectivity was allocated to Lavery\u2019s Beer Tent, one of the market\u2019s popular attractions, in December 2024.<\/p>\n
By creating a protected segment of the network to minimise congestion and lower latency, the operator explained that the network slicing initiative enabled rapid mobile payments across the tent’s eight payment terminals including during peak hours.<\/p>\n
The operator claimed the trial marked the first time a UK business successfully accessed a network slice from EE\u2019s live 5G standalone core.<\/p>\n
The pilot demonstrated the technology\u2019s capability to bypass network congestion, with BT Group\u2019s Northern Ireland director Paul Murnaghan stating it \u201cdelivers certainty for traders and customers, removing the frustration of payment delays.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the Christmas market attracting up to 1.2 million visitors annually, director of Lavery\u2019s pub, Bernard Lavery, noted that BT\u2019s services \u201censured transactions are faster and smoother, keeping our customers happy and queues moving\u201d.<\/p>\n
Belfast was among the first 15 cities to launch EE\u2019s 5G standalone network last year, with BT touting investments in future-proof network infrastructure across the region to prepare for the rollout of network slicing services for business customers.<\/p>\n
The move follows a similar trial conducted by BT rival Vodafone UK, which deployed network slicing<\/a> at last year\u2019s Glastonbury Festival. The operator partnered with drinks vendor EBC to offer a slice of connectivity to speed up payments for beverages.<\/p>\n The post BT touts festive 5G slicing breakthrough<\/a> appeared first on
