We are proud to announce we are a winner of Innovate UK’s “New Innovators in Communication Networks 2024” grant competition. This recognition solidifies our position as one of the UK’s most innovative companies in the telecom sector, highlighting our groundbreaking work in 5G solutions for customer, enterprise and public safety.
The awarded solution, 5G SlimanCes (5G Slice Management System for Public Safety), addresses a critical need for emergency services, ensuring reliable, high-quality communication during mission-critical events. This platform leverages advanced 5G network-slicing and 5G network-APIs, unique to 5G standalone (5G-SA) technology, and is powered by innovative machine-learning algorithms.
“Public safety and critical services depend on reliable communication to keep communities safe, especially in emergencies. Our 5G SlimanCes platform is built to provide emergency teams with the guaranteed service quality they need, ensuring they stay connected and can operate effectively,” said Rohit Sengupta, CEO of SliceFinity. “Beyond public safety, our SlimanCes solution will also help government agencies tap into multiple public 5G networks more efficiently. Rather than using expensive dedicated networks that may lack bandwidth, our on-demand slicing allows them to access a 5G slice only when necessary, saving public funds by paying only for the time spent on the network.”
“This award from Innovate UK is a major milestone for us as we continue to push the boundaries of 5G technology for public safety and beyond,” he added.

Safeguarding Communities with 5G
Public safety personnel such as police officers, paramedics, and firefighters depend on fast, secure, and reliable communication during emergencies. 5G SlimanCes maps workloads from public safety personnel into dedicated network slices, ensuring uninterrupted and high-quality connectivity tailored to their needs. The platform remains active until the emergency concludes, safeguarding critical communications during pivotal moments.
The importance of reliable network access cannot be overstated. In high-stakes situations, network performance – including speed, latency, and security—can make the difference between life and death. As public safety agencies move to more robust communication networks, SliceFinity’s 5G SlimanCes ensures mission-critical users have guaranteed and differentiated quality of service over the 5G network.
