2026年4月16日，沃達豐商務（Vodafone Business）正式進入連接新紀元，推出了英國首個商用5G網路切片服務，品牌名為「5G+ Local Slicing」。
This milestone marks the end of "best-effort" mobile connectivity for enterprises, moving toward a model of guaranteed, contractually assured performance.
此里程碑標誌著企業「盡力而為（Best-effort，指不保證連線品質）」行動連接時代的終結，轉向保證合約性能的模式。
By creating virtualized, logically isolated "slices" within its 5G Standalone network, Vodafone offers businesses a private fast lane with consistent bandwidth and low latency.
透過在其5G獨立（Standalone）網路中建立虛擬化、邏輯隔離的「切片」，沃達豐為企業提供了具有穩定頻寬與低延遲的專屬快車道。
This is crucial for mission-critical operations like autonomous robotics and remote healthcare, specifically for sites up to 5 km².
這對於自動化機器人與遠距醫療等任務關鍵（Mission-critical，指攸關任務成敗的）操作至關重要，特別是針對面積達5平方公里的場域。
As part of a massive £11 billion investment, these tools transform the mobile network from a generic pipe into a customizable, software-defined platform, ensuring businesses stay connected even in the busiest environments.
作為110億英鎊大規模投資的一部分，這些工具將行動網路從單純的數據管道轉變為可客製化、軟體定義的平台，確保企業即使在最繁忙的環境中也能保持連線。
