Nokia Cloud Packet Core provides converged access to drive ultra-broadband and
IoT service delivery #MWC17
6 February 2017
* Nokia extends its Cloud Packet Core to address the increasing connectivity
needs in a world where more people and devices are becoming interconnected
* Supports industry's widest range of access technologies that can be used
separately or combined to improve service quality and expand footprint
* Built with cloud-native architecture to provide the massive scalability,
performance, flexibility and reliability needed to deliver broadband, IoT
and MTC services, and enable a path to 5G
Espoo, Finland - Nokia announces that its Cloud Packet Core, a cloud-native
converged core, now supports the industry's widest array of access technologies.
Its cloud-native architecture supports converged broadband, Internet of Things
(IoT) and Machine Type Communications (MTC) service delivery across wireless
licensed, shared and unlicensed spectrum, as well as fixed access.
In a digital world, where everyone and everything is connected, the network is
under significant new pressure. Broadband, IoT and MTC lead to a huge increase
in devices and people that must be interconnected, introducing a diverse range
of service requirements and characteristics that operators will need to support,
including any access technology. In addition, the sheer number of devices places
massive scalability demands on the network, and the applications supported have
strict performance and reliability requirements. Operators must embrace this new
environment while also ensuring the most flexible and efficient use of cloud
resources to deliver this economically.
Innovation in the network core is central to this transformation as it is the
connection hub, and Nokia continues to invest in its Cloud Packet Core to
support this new reality.
Nokia's flexible, multi-access approach enables fixed and wireless technologies
to be used, individually or together, to ensure the delivery of converged
services anchored in a common core for a seamless service experience. These
technologies include licensed spectrum such as 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G, as well as
shared and unlicensed spectrum, including Wi-Fi, MulteFire and LTE-based CBRS,
and fixed access.
Moving beyond just simple virtualization of existing platforms, Nokia has
architected its Cloud Packet Core from the ground up using cloud-native
architecture concepts including software disaggregation, functional software
elements with 'state-efficient' processing combined with a common data layer,
network slicing, along with centralized and distributed deployment to achieve
massive scalability, performance, flexibility and reliability.
Nokia's Cloud Packet Core also includes a new rich 3GPP R13 Cellular IoT (CIoT)
feature set and new capabilities, such as the CIoT Serving Gateway Node, to
support new service and application requirements, including narrowband IoT (NB-
IoT).
The Cloud Packet Core will create significant broadband business opportunities
and support diverse applications for multiple segments and verticals, including
consumer mobile, residential, enterprises and governments.
Fast facts:
* Nokia Cloud Packet Core anchors the industry's most extensive range of
standards-based wireless and fixed access technologies, and supports
concurrent service delivery across multiple access technologies
* Rich 3GPP R13 feature set and new CIoT Serving Gateway Node capabilities to
support applications and services such as NB-IoT
* Cloud-native architecture delivers greater flexibility in resource
deployment and efficient utilization to drive better economics
* New pre-integrated and modular Cloud Packet Core solutions (Cloud Mobility
Manager/Cloud Mobile Gateway) expand on existing Cloud NFV deployment
capabilities for rapid deployment and operational integration, and to engage
expanded markets
* Builds on cloud-native investment required today for 4G and converged
networks, facilitates a path to 5G, and has further innovations to deliver
expanded service capabilities, scalability, agility and network functions
Stéphane Téral, Senior Research Director and Advisor, Mobile Infrastructure and
Carrier Economics, IHS Markit, said: "While the requirements and use cases for
5G continue to be defined, it's clear that a new flexible multi-access cloud
native packet core will be needed to support the nearer-term enhanced mobile
broadband and IoT/MTC services and applications. This cloud-native packet core
must provide the scale, capacity, reliability and flexibility to cost-
effectively deliver this diverse set of services/applications, while providing
the foundation for 5G. Nokia clearly understands this transformation with its
Cloud Packet Core, which goes beyond virtualization to a cloud-native
architecture that leverages webscale technologies to deliver this evolution
strategy."
Sri Reddy, head of the IP Routing and Packet Core Business Unit at Nokia, said:
"Broadband evolution to 5G and IoT/MTC will place a diverse set of service
characteristics and requirements on the network. These services will need to be
concurrently delivered across the widest range of fixed and wireless
technologies to provide a seamless service experience and support extensive
personalization. The Nokia Cloud Packet Core provides the converged anchor point
to make this possible. With its cloud-native architecture, it has the
flexibility, performance, scalability, reliability and improved operations for
organizations to embrace and profit from mobile broadband, IoT/MTC and coming-
5G opportunities."
The Cloud Packet Core will be in the Nokia booth at Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona, Spain, Feb 27-Mar 2, Hall 3 Stand 3A10.
