Nokia expands Packet Core portfolio to meet private LTE network requirements in support of IoT and Smart Cities
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Nokia expands LTE portfolio with Cloud Packet Core solution for private
mission-critical LTE networks
* Lets organizations in the mining, oil & gas, transportation, and utility
sectors as well governments and regional operators easily deploy a powerful
LTE network
* Solution supports access by up to 50,000 devices simultaneously, offering
flexibility, scale and performance to support mobile broadband and IoT/MTC
applications that can help enable Smart Cities.
29 September, 2016
Espoo, Finland - Nokia has expanded its Cloud Packet Core offering with a
solution tailored specifically for global enterprises, the public sector and
smaller operators. Nokia Cloud Packet Core, based upon cloud native technology,
will help accelerate the move to Smart Cities, improve the safety and efficiency
of employees and expand mobile applications across a variety of industries.
The introduction of LTE and the move to 5G and cloud technologies provide a new
and viable mechanism to more effectively support mobile broadband, IoT and
machine-type communications (MTC). Private LTE networks are increasingly
becoming the preferred approach to deliver business and mission-critical
services in industry segments such as railways, aviation, the energy sector and
with governments. Estimated by some analysts to surpass $800 million in global
investment by the end of 2016, the private LTE network market is expected to
grow at a CAGR of 32% by 2020*.
Nokia is expanding its offerings for private LTE networks by optimizing its
innovative Cloud Packet Core solution to allow for the delivery of business and
mission-critical services and applications. The solution ensures reliability and
functionality for secure service delivery at a size that makes it accessible to
a diversity of markets. It provides the scale and performance for MTC and mobile
broadband users and devices, supporting 50,000 simultaneous access users/devices
and 100 eNodeBs.
Mobile broadband and IoT/MTC applications have differing service characteristics
based on their operational and business requirements. These can include
bandwidth, latency, and number of endpoints, users and devices. The Packet Core
must be sufficiently flexible and scalable to satisfy those criteria at all
times to support private LTE applications such as:
* Transportation: In railways, the new Cloud Packet Core can support
operational services such as Train Control (an important safety feature) and
real-time CCTV video feeds and alarm notifications, as well as passenger
services such as mobile ticketing, broadband access for infotainment
services and more.
* Oil and Gas: Enhance productivity with MTC for control and monitoring of
oil/gas processing in the refinery, with real-time processing and relaying
of rig production information to Nokia's Network Operations Center (NOC).
Provide mission-critical Push-to-Talk voice, video and data services for end
users. Improve safety with biometric clothing to monitor rig workers - and
take advantage of a 'flotel', a floating hotel for workers - to access the
same services they have at home.
* Mining: Provide end-to-end visibility for controllers and schedulers at the
NOC. Offer a high-bandwidth, low-latency CCTV view of operational plant
equipment, real-time alarm notifications and control equipment monitoring,
and optimize vehicle movement throughout the mine with real-time positioning
as well as automating mining operations via driverless vehicles and other
measures.
* Utilities: Establish Field Area Networks (FAN) to provide high-speed data
links to connect sensors, sub-stations, facilities, intelligent electronic
devices and other grid components; help ensure the safety, reliability and
resiliency of electrical distribution grids.
This new offering leverages the Cloud Mobility Manager (CMM) and Cloud Mobile
Gateway (CMG) software from Nokia's Cloud Packet Core solution, which is already
deployed by the world's largest communications service providers. It delivers a
comprehensive 3GPP feature set along with deployment flexibility, and enables
private and regional networks to interconnect with Tier 1 operators to extend
coverage and provide network operational continuity. The proven Nokia Tier 1
software and pre-integrated Nokia Airframe server help accelerate deployment and
reduce the risks of operational integration.
Quotes:
Mike Sapien, Principal Analyst, Enterprise Services, Ovum: "With many enterprise
customers, government agencies and smaller operators looking to create new
robust business offers for their customers and end users, the ability to create
a private network leveraging this solution will be very attractive. I see many
large customers acting as service providers ("CaaSPs") for internal groups that
would also see the opportunity to create this private network, with the key
requirement of interconnecting with other service providers (wireless networks,
applications, cloud providers) and larger operators being enabled with this
solution."
Sri Reddy, general manager of IP routing business at Nokia, said: "Our Cloud
Packet Core solution leverages a native cloud architecture to purpose-fit
smaller business and critical communications networks without sacrificing the
ability to scale as needs dictate. All operators - regardless of size - get the
same software foundation, rich capability set, field-proven software and high
reliability. This allows them to fully embrace LTE today - and 5G in the future
- to assure an optimal, secure and reliable experience and fully realize new
mobile broadband, IoT and MTC opportunities for their business."
