Nokia completes its first 5G standalone call on live network with
China Unicom
- First call achieved within 25 days of Nokia software
deployment, surpassing the performance of other solutions in the
market
- Call underscores the interoperability of Nokia Software
products, irrespective of hardware environment
30 July 2020
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced that it has
successfully completed its first 5G standalone (SA) call on a live
network with China Unicom, and is expected to achieve full
deployment of numerous software solutions with the operator several
weeks ahead of schedule.
The data and voice calls, which marked firsts for Nokia on a 5G
SA network, were completed earlier than planned in part due to
Nokia’s experience-driven, customer-focused approach. By bypassing
non-standalone (NSA) 5G core deployments entirely, Nokia was able
to deliver 5G SA core for China Unicom and enable crucial network
functions, such as network slicing capabilities.
Nokia deployed its Unified Data Management, Shared Data Layer
(5G Unified Data Repository), and Cloud Mobile Gateway (from its
Cloud Packet Core portfolio) for the 5G Session Management Function
and User Plane Function. This was complemented by Data Refinery
charging and NetAct network management, with all products deployed
in the cloud using the Nokia CloudBand cloud infrastructure and
management solution.
Nokia CBIS is an open, scalable, vendor-agnostic platform that
is enabling software deployment across China Unicom’s existing
multi-vendor hardware.
Markus Bochert, President of Nokia Greater China, said:
“Nokia has skillfully managed both the overall project and
technical components during these unprecedented times, which has
been crucial to the speed and success of this deployment that will
provide our customers with fast, modernized network management
features.”
Bhaskar Gorti, President of Nokia Software and Nokia Chief
Digital Officer, said: “We are very proud to reach this key
milestone with China Unicom, which illustrates that the transition
to 5G standalone networks can be completed rapidly – regardless of
existing hardware; and that is part of what makes Nokia Software
products distinct.”
