Nokia to expand development and deployment of 5G FIRST as industry interest grows
August 01 2017 - 4:01AM
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.
