Espoo, Finland – Nokia and Deutsche Telekom Group today
announced they are expanding their strategic cooperation to build a
5G-ready IP network. Deutsche Telekom has selected Nokia's 7750
Service Router (SR) platform to significantly expand capacity
across its edge/core routing network as it prepares for
next-generation broadband and 5G services. Deployment has already
started in Greece, where Nokia is replacing and modernizing the
operator’s existing IP network. Rollout in Hungary is expected in
Q4 2020.
With networks experiencing unprecedented traffic growth and
unpredictable demands, operators want to meet ever-increasing
performance requirements while driving down network costs. The
scale, feature breadth and versatility of the Nokia 7750 SR-s
platform addresses these requirements, enabling operators like
Deutsche Telekom Group and its affiliates to build bigger, smarter,
automated and secure networks with greater return on
investment.
As part of its network modernization, Deutsche Telekom needed to
replace an existing IP edge/core network that was reaching its end
of service with a new network that can cope with 5G and ultra
broadband access requirements. A key principle to achieve this was
the consolidation of network layers through the integration of IP
aggregation and edge/BNG (Broadband Network Gateway) functions into
one converged layer.
Deutsche Telekom selected the Nokia 7750 SR-7s routers as they
support the full spectrum of provider edge, gateway and core
functions for advanced residential, mobile and enterprise services.
Powered by the programmable FP4 network processing silicon, the
routers will enable Deutsche Telekom to boost IP network capacity
with deterministic performace for a top-quality subscriber
experience. As a result, Deutsche Telekom can support 5G
interconnectivity and an increasing growth in backbone traffic
driven by an increase in mobility applications, video streaming,
gaming and other high-capacity demands such as remote working.
The 7750 SR-s is managed by the Nokia Network Services Platform
(NSP). NSP supports 5G IP transport with automated slicing across
IP and optical transport layers with end-to-end orchestration of
network resource provisioning and assurance operations. This
simplifies operations so that operators can create customer
policies/slices with different network performance, quality and
routing capabilities to respond quickly to fast-changing subscriber
demand.
Bernhard Scholl, Technology Europe VP Access Core &
Transport at Deutsche Telekom, said: “Deutsche Telekom
Group affiliates need to expand and modernize their IP networks to
address stringent 5G IP transport requirements. We continue to see
tremendous growth in network traffic and the need to deliver more
throughput and higher capacity with strict QoS to our customers is
critical. This is particlarly the case as bandwidth intensive
applications are shifting to on demand video along with the growing
usage of cloud-based services. Building out this backbone with
Nokia's IP edge routers will allow us to stay ahead of our
customers’ network needs.”
Vassilis Kazatzopoulos, Head of International Sales DT
Global Customer Business Team at Nokia, said: “With trends
like 5G, IoT and Industry 4.0 now a reality, networks are expected
to handle hundreds of new applications and services for millions of
users. The Nokia 7750 SR-s series of IP routers takes router
performance to the next level by delivering the massive scale,
comprehensive feature set and platform versatility needed to stay
ahead of evolving demands. Nokia is excited to expand its
longstanding relationship with Deutsche Telekom Group to help
prepare its affiliates’ networks for the future.”
