Shanghai, China - Nokia and China Mobile Communications
Corporation (CMCC) are to demonstrate how 5G enable support for new
services such as telehealth, potentially transforming emergency
hospital patient care and driving new practices.
5G will enable the use of discrete network "slicing" techniques,
allowing operators to serve multiple end users with a variety of
services meeting different demands for latency, speed and capacity
over a common 5G network infrastructure. In a demonstration at
China Mobile's booth at Mobile World Congress Shanghai this week,
Nokia and China Mobile will show how 5G network slicing will
support the high-reliability needs of critical applications such as
telehealth.
The demonstration will use technology based on the Nokia 5G
FIRST solution, including the Next Generation Core to replicate
communications between ambulance and hospital staff as an emergency
patient is being transported. 5G network slicing can enable the
rapid and reliable transmission of high-bandwidth images, such as
patient X-rays and video, in real-time, to the hospital. This will
save vital time, allowing doctors to begin diagnosis of a patient's
condition and make initial preparations while the patient is still
in transit.
The application of Nokia 5G FIRST in the telehealth
demonstration also draws on Nokia's professional services
expertise. This capability will help operators like CMCC evolve
their networks to 5G, with end-to-end design and deployment support
for 5G use cases - such as telehealth - based on reference
architecture and solution blueprints.
Yu Xiaohan, head of Nokia Network China's Customer Business
Team for China Mobile, said: "We are very pleased to cooperate
with China Mobile and use 5G to demonstrate a highly efficent and
effective Telehealth solution. As a leading developer of 5G, we
continue to engage with customers on research and development, best
practices and the uses of 5G to prepare for future introduction of
the technology. We'll continue to fullfil our mission by making
people's life easier as we create the technologies that connect the
world."
