The physical 5G SA network infrastructure can be divided into several independent virtual networks called network slices. The slices can be dedicated to a single customer or optimized for different use cases, such as real-time machine control, high-quality video transmission, or connecting large numbers of simple sensors.
The APN[1] helps the mobile network decide which slice to use. The SIM card specifies which slices a device is allowed to use, and the user selects an APN. When the device connects to the mobile network, the network ...
