Press Release
* Joint definition and test platform deployment of 5G-based applications to
enable new services for consumer and vertical markets
* Companies will leverage ultra-low latency, highly reliable 5G communications
using ultra-broadband, cloud RAN, massive MIMO, network slicing, energy
efficiency and IoT applications
* Joint, open innovation platforms to be established in France tapping local
Nokia and Orange R&D expertise
30 January, 2017
Espoo, Finland - Nokia and the Orange Group are to collaborate on the
development of services that will allow industries and consumers to take
advantage of the unprecedented efficiencies and business models made possible by
5G.
5G promises to deliver dramatic improvements in peak data speeds, network
latency and agility, as well as the ability to enable new capabilities such as
network slicing. This will allow operators to support a growing number of
customers and potentially billions of connected IoT devices with consistent
quality of service, laying the foundation for smarter cities, connected
vehicles, smart factories and offices, remote healthcare and many other
connected industries.
Under a new collaboration agreement, Nokia and Orange will drive the definition
and development of these new services, with a focus on making the transition
from 4G to 5G network connectivity in the most efficient way in terms of power,
operations, and cost effectiveness, and with the highest level of quality and
reliability. Furthermore, the companies will build on existing joint innovation
programs, as well as work with other partners, to develop, trial and introduce
solutions that will make 5G a commercial reality and drive the digital
transformation of vertical industries.
Nokia and Orange will leverage the Nokia Flexi Base Station and 5G-ready
AirScale radio access portfolio, the AirFrame data center platform, telco cloud
and cybersecurity technologies to create applications making use of 5G's ultra-
low latency and ultra-high reliability. This work will also include the
application of:
* Ultra-broadband leveraging new frequency bands
* Cloud RAN and massive MIMO
* IoT
* End-to-end network slicing techniques
* Energy efficiency techniques
Nokia and Orange will leverage the existing research collaboration between
Orange Labs and Nokia Bell Labs and establish joint innovation platforms at the
Nokia Paris Saclay premises on the outskirts of the French capital, and at the
Nokia campus in Lannion, in Western France, in collaboration with two Orange's
research and innovation sites, Orange Gardens in Chatillon and Orange Labs in
Lannion. The companies will open up the laboratories to work with their
respective innovation partners, including local enterprises, vertical
application providers and local start-ups, to accelerate the ecosystem that will
be created around 5G.
Alain Maloberti, Senior Vice President, Orange Labs Networks at Orange said: "In
line with the Orange Essentials 2020 strategy, Orange places innovation at the
heart of its drive to deliver an unmatched customer experience. Working with
Nokia, we are preparing the evolution of our networks from 4G to 5G, with
multiple services on a single infrastructure to deliver a quality tailored for
each service requirement. Our new services will enhance people's lives and
accelerate the digitization of vertical industries."
Marc Rouanne, chief innovation and operating officer at Nokia, said: "With our
breadth of Radio, IP and Optics technologies, and the expertise of Bell Labs,
Nokia is proud to be assisting Orange in the introduction of 5G and the
application of the Future X Network paradigm. Through this collaboration, we
will test 5G applications for different industry segments and measure the
benefits of extremely short latency and very high speeds. We are also delighted
to be applying our world-class R&D expertise in Paris and Lannion in this
project."
