Nokia lays key 5G foundation with world's first 5GTF connection
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Press Release
* Telecom industry's first connection made conforming to 5GTF interface the
industry-agreed specification for 'pre-standard' 5G applications, marking
major milestone towards 3GPP NR
* Trial done in Oulu, Finland using commercially available 5G-ready Nokia
AirScale and Nokia AirFrame and the 5G mobile trial platform for the client
supplied by Intel®
* Further proofpoint of Nokia momentum in making 5G a commercial reality,
close cooperation with Intel, and will expand towards interoperability with
Intel 3GPP NR devices.
13 February, 2017
Espoo, Finland - Nokia has successfully carried out the world's first connection
based on the 5GTF 'pre-standard', marking a further milestone in Nokia's
momentum to make 5G a commercial reality. The test adds another key component to
the development of 5G and the implementation of the first 5G applications,
demonstrating the ability to provide fast pace implementation according to early
standards including device interoperability.
Nokia is playing a leading role in defining the path to 5G. At the end of last
year it introduced 4.5G Pro and announced plans for 4.9G, providing operators
with the critical increases to capacity and speed that will be needed for future
5G operations. The world's first 5G connection, which took place in a laboratory
environment in Oulu, Finland, on 23 December, used the 5GTF (Verizon 5G
Technology Forum) draft specification and was made possible by Nokia's
commercially available 5G-ready AirScale radio access with the Nokia AirFrame
data center platform running on Intel architecture, together with the Intel® 5G
mobile trial platform as an end-user device.
Data transmission on a 5G network is a significant milestone in the
commercialization of the new wireless 5G technology, and indeed in the cross-
industry efforts being made by all players in the 5G ecosystem to standardize
all aspects of 5G ahead of full commercial service launches expected to begin in
2020 on 3GPP NR.
The 5G connection marks yet another Nokia contribution to the evolution of
communications: the first GSM call was made in Finland more than 20 years ago
using a network built by Nokia. This tradition continued with the world's first
3G voice call, on a commercial 3GPP system in Finland in 2001, and then with the
world's first LTE call via commercial software in Germany in 2009.
Harold Graham, head of the 5G Business Line in Mobile Networks at Nokia, said:
"This first 5G connection is a true landmark for the telecommunications
industry, and yet another mark of Nokia's capabilities in 5G. With its low
latency and significant capacity and speed increases, 5G will deliver a variety
of new and innovative applications, and Nokia is playing leading roles in all
aspects of the total 5G proposition. This 'first' highlights our commitment to
being on the front line in providing our customers 5G-ready technologies so that
they can seize early market opportunities by building 5G-enabled applications."
