New Nokia 5G core network solutions

Nokia has announced new, optimised core network software solutions for the field and wide area network (FAN/WAN) needs of mission-critical enterprises and governments.

Nokia Core Enterprise Solutions are based on the company’s widely deployed Core products and optimised to help enterprises take advantage of secure carrier grade capabilities and digitalise their network infrastructure.

These new solutions are tailored to the specific mission-critical network needs of public safety and power utilities, and include highly optimised footprint and operational requirements and streamlined deployment and support.

Fran Heeran, SVP and general manager of core networks, cloud and network services, Nokia, said, “This exciting new evolution of our Core portfolio further enhances Nokia’s leading position in private wireless.

“Nokia Core Enterprise Solutions will provide important catalysts for accelerating digital transformation for enterprises in public safety and power utilities.

“They will modernise large scale enterprise networks, as well as provide important broadband capabilities and a clear and path to deploying private 5G for the WAN.”

Ken Rehbehn, principal analyst at CritComm Insights, added, “A select set of government and business operations provides essential safety, energy, and transportation functionality required for a safe society and robust economic growth.

“These organisations have a unique requirement for wide-area wireless operations across sweeping geography with secure, ubiquitous, and high-quality connectivity enabled by private 4G and 5G networks.

“Nokia's pre-integrated, sector-optimised mission-critical core network solutions can reduce risk and help speed challenging wide-area private network deployments.”

The solutions are expected to be commercially available later this year. They provide unified 4G and 5G data, voice and subscriber/device management capabilities, and create streamlined adoption paths across technology and application generations.
