Functions Virtualization (NFV) infrastructure and bundled with
Nokia's professional services and expertise.

Cloud Mobile Gateway, were recently assessed by the European
Advanced Networking Test Center AG (EANTC) and put through the
industry's most stringent performance and scale test scenarios. In
all cases Nokia's gear performed with exceptional results,
confirming it is ready for today's large-scale deployment and next
generation IoT and 5G.
