Espoo, Finland - Tele2 has selected Nokia's Cloud Packet Core solution to
transform its core network to meet growing customer demand for high performance
mobile broadband services. Once deployed, the new generation mobile network will
give Tele2 the flexibility, scale and performance necessary to support LTE
consumer services on a larger scale, and further develop the foundation for 5G.
Tele2 is a European operator providing mobile services, fixed broadband and
telephony, data network services, content services and global M2M/IoT solutions
with approximately 16 million subscribers in Europe and Central Asia. Nokia's
solution will be deployed across the operator's global network first in Croatia
and followed by Sweden, the Baltic states, Austria, the Netherlands and
Kazakhstan.
The advanced design of Nokia's Cloud Packet Core solution will allow Tele2 to
adopt an automated cloud networking and service operations model by providing
resources whenever and wherever they are needed. The solution consists of the
Cloud Mobility Manager and Cloud Mobile Gateway running on an open OpenStack(TM)
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) infrastructure and bundled with Nokia's
professional services and expertise.
Elements of Nokia's Cloud Packet Core solution, including the Cloud Mobile
Gateway, were recently assessed by the European Advanced Networking Test Center
AG (EANTC) and put through the industry's most stringent performance and scale
test scenarios. In all cases Nokia's gear performed with exceptional results,
confirming it is ready for today's large-scale deployment and next generation
IoT and 5G.
Key facts:
· Tele2 is addressing the bandwidth demand for LTE consumer services on
a larger scale and laying the groundwork for 5G and advanced IoT solutions.
· Nokia will deliver its full Cloud Packet Core solution based on Cloud
Mobile Gateway and Cloud Mobility Manager, including the EMS and Virtualized
Network Functions (VNF) Manager.
