6 September, 2016
Espoo, Finland - Nokia is to launch a set of services that will enable operators
to leverage the benefits of 5G technology in order to realize their individual
business goals in the most effective way. Nokia 5G Acceleration Services will
help operators develop a plan for their business, network and operational
transformation to prepare them for the 5G programmable world.
The advent of 5G will provide operators with opportunities to serve a diverse
range of vertical industries and enterprises as they enable applications such as
smart cities, automated driving, remote healthcare and full automation of homes
and businesses. Leveraging technologies available today such as mobile edge
computing, cloud and Software-Defined Networking, 5G will deliver the ultra-
reliable, low-latency networks needed to address a myriad of business
possibilities.
Nokia 5G Acceleration Services will assist operators in translating their 5G
vision into a tailored transformation plan. Nokia will collaborate with
operators to prepare and design the unique evolution of multi-vendor networks,
providing a comprehensive technology and business analysis of an operator's
current situation as well as guidance on the steps they should take to transform
their operations. By defining the pace of investment and introduction of new
technologies operators will be able to capitalize on the opportunities and
deliver at the optimal time.
Leveraging the breadth of global telco-cloud consulting experience and
technology and services expertise within Nokia and Bell Labs Consulting, 5G
Acceleration Services will now deliver a modular set of transformation support
including:
* Building a solid business case using:
* Collaborative customer workshops to help operators define a phased
strategy for transformation and the implications on their business,
technology, and operations.
* A techno-economic analysis using scenarios that meet the operators'
goals for 5G to optimize network evolution investment
* A 5G spectrum assessment, allowing operators to optimize spectrum
resources to deliver the capacity needed to realize their 5G goals
* Planning a staged architecture and operational evolution using:
* Technology workshops to provide an in-depth view of the impact of 5G
technology on network architecture, end-to-end network planning and
deployment and how it can be applied to meet business objectives
* Goal-driven 5G radio access network design to meet the performance and
traffic demands of chosen scenarios
* Building a solid foundation to 5G by allowing operators to leverage Nokia's
extensive services expertise to help them ramp-up their network,
organization and business capabilities and become 5G-ready.
Andy Hicks, research director, IDC's EMEA Telecommunications group said: "5G
isn't just '4G 2.0.' For one thing, this time the use cases are developing ahead
of the technical standard. That's healthy for the industry, but will also
require networks to support myriad performance profiles fairly
rapidly. Operators thus have to make sure that their 5G evolution plans
incorporate both upgrades to their networks and advancements in their
operational capabilities. If they can start to monetize new use cases while
still migrating toward 5G, so much the better."
Igor Leprince, head of Global Services at Nokia, said: "Operators can already
begin to plan their path to 5G, building the foundation of the programmable
world with cloud-based technologies. Working in a consultative mode Nokia 5G
Acceleration Services can minimize the complexity of this transformation,
creating a plan that will allow operators to migrate optimally to 5G to
capitalize on new business opportunities. We are already working with our
customers on 5G co-development agreements, and by leveraging our transformation
services and Bell Labs Consulting expertise we can help operators build a solid
business case for their 5G transformation."
