At MWC 2026, BubbleRAN is unveiling SliceDirect, a breakthrough technology that delivers SLA-assured, end-to-end network slicing compliant with 3GPP and O-RAN specifications. Demonstrated for intelligent transport systems (ITS), the solution enables low-latency peer-to-peer communication sustaining cross-regional V2X service continuity without relying on network-wide routing.
The demo showcases heterogeneous V2X traffic enhanced with edge intelligence placed close to vehicles, supporting latency-critical services such as vehicle teleoperation alongside high-fidelity and high-bitrate video streams. It scales to multi-region, multi-zone deployments through optimized inter-slice connectivity.
SliceDirect technology is able to dynamically forward user-plane traffic directly between services, across slices and across regions, so applications can communicate peer-to-peer over near-optimal paths. Multiple slices can be created for each user equipment. Each slice is tailored for different service needs, while keeping them isolated and policies enforced.
By avoiding “hairpin” routing through centralized paths and unnecessary detours to the public internet, SliceDirect significantly reduces end-to-end latency and improves overall network efficiency, making it well suited for advanced ITS and CCAM deployments.
“What we demonstrate here goes beyond performance improvements, it is a paradigm shift towards 5G-enabled multi-service peer-to-peer communication, dynamically supporting latency-sensitive, safety-critical V2X and CCAM use cases while increasing overall network efficiency,” said Navid Nikaein, CEO, BubbleRAN
