Nokia to expand development and deployment of 5G FIRST as industry interest grows
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Press Release
* Clear interest for 5G mobility applications already emerging from operators,
notably in markets like the US, China, Japan and South Korea
* 5G mobility standard integrated into the Nokia 5G FIRST end-to-end solution
* Trialing of rapidly evolving 5G technology and commercial applications as
market appetite points to meaningful rollouts in 2019
* Call to make available spectrum at low-, mid- and high-frequency bands for
5G
1 August, 2017
Espoo, Finland - Meeting growing customer interest in 5G, Nokia is broadening
its focus into multiple areas of early 5G mobility use cases, including enhanced
mobile broadband and ultra-reliable, ultra-low latency communications. Nokia
will push for accelerated 3GPP industry standardization while building on early
customer experiences with its Nokia 5G FIRST end-to-end solution, launched in
February at Mobile World Congress.
With clear interest for 5G mobility applications already emerging from
operators, notably in markets like the U.S., China, Japan and South Korea, Nokia
will implement early 5G specifications, enhancing 5G FIRST with the 3GPP 5G
Phase I protocol. This 5G NR (New Radio) air interface standard, which is due at
the beginning of 2018, is designed to support a wide variety of 5G devices and
services.
Nokia will continue to evolve and expand 5G FIRST as an end-to-end solution,
designed to drive broader market adoption of 5G, via both mobility and fixed
applications, as well as testing multiple 5G use cases. The company is building
on extensive field experience already gained with Nokia 5G FIRST, which has
generated valuable insights into areas such as:
* Use of radio propagation in higher frequencies
* Massive MIMO and beamforming
* Integration with existing networks versus standalone implementations
* The use of small cells in 5G deployments
* The importance of cloud native core and cloud RAN technologies
These and many other of the key elements of 3GPP-based 5G implementation will
enable Nokia to extend the scope of interoperability testing with a variety of
devices. Nokia will also continue its application of leading-edge technologies,
such as chipset and radio frequency innovations, in its end-to-end 5G strategy.
Marc Rouanne, president of Mobile Networks at Nokia said: "There should be no
doubt about the huge potential of 5G. Through 5G FIRST, Nokia is evolving its
5G strategy to drive the industry rapidly towards the adoption of standards-
based commercial applications - as early as 2019. Doing so will require broad
cross-industry support, and we call upon regulators and governments to free up
and enable the use of spectrum at low-, mid- and high-frequency bands for
trials. This will allow robust evaluation of 5G to take place, so that
collectively, we can deliver one of the most important new technologies in
history, one that will truly drive the Fourth Industrial Revolution."
Did You Know
Leveraging Nokia's end-to-end network capabilities, 5G FIRST also incorporates
the multi-access Nokia Cloud Packet Core and the Nokia Shared Data Layer as
part of a cloud-native core architecture to deliver the flexibility, massive
scalability and performance operators need to rapidly and cost-effectively
deliver 5G services. A comprehensive 'anyhaul' mobile transport offer from Nokia
incorporates microwave, IP, optical and fixed access technologies to address the
critical capacity, reliability and latency requirements of the 5G era.
