Episode 56 of Networking Tech with Fexingo dives into network slicing, the technology that carves virtual private networks out of a single physical infrastructure. Hosts Lucas and Luna explore how Ericsson and Deutsche Telekom deployed a slice for a factory automation use case in 2025, achieving 99.9999% reliability on a shared 5G transport network. They break down how slicing works at the routing layer using segment routing and network function virtualization, why it matters for industrial IoT and autonomous vehicles, and the tension between carriers who want to offer slices as services and regulators who worry about net neutrality. Lucas explains the difference between a slice and a VPN, and why the transport network is the hardest part to guarantee. No buzzwords, just a clear look at how one network can become many.
