Nokia and Intel launch 5G acceleration labs in US and Finland to help operators bring 5G innovations to market
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Press Release
* Nokia and Intel are creating joint testing facilities in US and Finland to
focus on all aspects of 5G networks from device to cloud
* Labs will develop 5G solutions in a 'live' environment to address deployment
and operational models as standards are defined for commercial solutions
* The labs will leverage core technologies, including Nokia AirScale and Nokia
AirFrame, and client and infrastructure platforms running on Intel®
Architecture, as well as Intel 5G connectivity solutions
21 February, 2017
Espoo, Finland - Nokia and Intel are building on their long-standing strategic
relationship to enable the development of 5G services by opening two 5G
solutions labs to test and accelerate the commercial readiness of the new
wireless technology.
The joint 5G acceleration labs, to be located in Murray Hill, New Jersey, and in
Espoo, Finland, will build on the companies' core competencies and technology
strengths. Together they will test and develop next-generation wireless
solutions focused on all aspects of 5G, from the network and cloud to the
client. The labs will work closely with communications service providers and
other companies in the 5G ecosystem to support comprehensive integration and
testing. This will help those providers derive deployment options and identify
operational models needed to make 5G a commercial reality. This lab work will be
done in alignment with 3GPP standards.
The labs will start out encompassing LTE, 4.5G, 4.5G Pro and 4.9G technologies
using essential building blocks such as the Intel® 5G Mobile Trial Platform.
Usage of these technologies within the lab, as well as the collaborations that
the lab will drive, will help communicatons service providers power next-
generation networks and the 5G future.
Nokia and Intel - who have a long history of collaboration, including recent
collaborations on Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT), data center and network
infrastructure solutions and software platforms - will draw on their respective
expertise and core technology strengths in the lab testing. Nokia will leverage
its broad portfolio of commercially available platforms for radio access, mobile
transport and cloud, as well as its leading edge research on Massive MIMO. Intel
is supporting the lab tests with the latest Intel 5G Mobile Trial Platform,
mmWave research, NB-IoT, massive MIMO, small cells, network slicing, software-
defined virtual RAN, Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) and cloud expertise.
Frank Weyerich, head of Mobile Networks Products at Nokia, said: "Nokia and
Intel have a long history of creating essential development environments for new
technologies. 5G has the potential to create an unprecedented breadth of
commercial opportunities for new and even as-yet unidentified players, and our
joint 5G Solutions Lab will provide them with an invaluable resource to develop
and incubate new possibilities."
Sandra Rivera, Vice President, Datacenter Group, General Manager, Network
Platforms Group, Intel, said: "The networks of tomorrow must be powerful, agile,
flexible and built upon open standards and virtualized infrastructure technology
for delivery of intelligent edge services in the 5G era. The opening of these
two labs expands our collaboration with Nokia and other ecosystem partners,
allowing us to take another critical step to accelerate commercial 5G
deployments."
