The industry momentum around 5G is accelerating as leading operators will begin notable trials in 2018 and full-scale rollouts of 5G networks is expected in 2019. Nokia exhibits its readiness for 5G at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018. Highlights include:

  • ReefShark chipsets that deliver massive performance gain in 5G networks by increasing cell site throughput by a factor of three, slashing massive MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) antenna size and power consumption. The chipsets embed AI capabilities to optimize radio resources and support network slicing as well as enhance terabit AirScale family as part of Nokia’s end-to-end 5G portfolio. Nokia is currently working with 30 operators using ReefShark.

Future X network architecture for 5G that delivers breakthrough network performance and reduce costs.

    • Future X combines high-capacity 5G New Radio, core and SDN controlled ‘Anyhaul’ transport to provide a complete set of network capabilities for commercial 5G
    • Network architecture and ReefShark chipsets provide superior scalability and performance, tripling throughput of Nokia’s existing market-leading RAN technology
    • Automation using Nokia’s open machine learning technology delivering Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) savings of up to 30%

Today Nokia is helping operators making 5G a commercial reality. In just the first two months of 2018, Nokia has made more than ten new 5G collaboration announcements with its customers including the agreement to supply 5G equipment to NTT DOCOMO in support of launch of commercial 5G service.

  • Managed Security Services for digital-era networks that ensures networks are adequately protected against all threats and provides attack prevention, detection, response and recovery. Operators can white label Managed Security Services to enterprises under their own brand, which offers revenue potential in the fast-growing enterprise security market and optimizes time to market.
  • Services and Technology that help operators address needs of digital cities including:
    • IoT for Smart Cities that is a fully integrated, modular and scalable framework to efficiently deliver and manage smart city services like video surveillance, lighting, parking, waste management, and environmental sensing
    • Sensing as a Service, powered by a blockchain for data integrity, provides intelligent analytics on environmental data that operators can sell to cities and other authorities
    • S-MVNO (Secure Mobile Virtual Network Operator) for Public Safety enhances LTE networks with mission-critical broadband services for public safety agencies, generating new revenue streams for operators
  • Enhancements of whole-home Wi-Fi solution for service providers to provide faster, better, smarter network experience

Nokia is introducing several enhancements to its in-home Wi-Fi solution that maximize Wi-Fi performance and simplify network management. The new Wi-Fi solution expands Nokia’s portfolio with meshed Wi-Fi gateways and beacons, delivers a new Wi-Fi Home Portal for service providers, introduces a mobile application for users and provides new software functions and analytics that improve network intelligence.

  • Collaboration with Facebook to expand ecosystem for Fixed Wireless Access over 60 GHz

Nokia and Facebook are working to accelerate the adoption of 60 GHz fixed wireless access technologies to deliver gigabit services and connect more people, faster. The 60 GHz band allows high-speed broadband connectivity in urban or suburban areas, complementing existing fiber. Nokia will combine its worldwide delivery capabilities and wireless passive optical network (WPON) with Facebook’s Terragraph technology to launch global gigabit broadband trials in 2018 with select customers.

  • Collaboration with Vodaphone to bring 4G to the moon

Vodaphone Germany has appointed Nokia as its technology partner to develop a space-grade, Ultra Compact Network, weighing the same as a bag of sugar, to enable live-streaming of HD video for Mission to the Moon in 2019.

  • ‘Conscious factory in a box’ concept provides a solution to the demands of Industry 4.0

The ‘conscious factory in a box’ was unveiled by a Nokia-led group of 12 electronics industry players. The aim was to create a single electronics manufacturing line using cargo containers that can be moved to locations as demand dictates. Collaboration was driven by the expected changes in manufacturing sparked by Industry 4.0, including cloud-based solutions, robotics and new electronic manufacturing IoT solutions, all of which will demand greater agility and flexibility from manufacturers.

 Nguyen Thi Kim Dung, General Director of Nokia Vietnam, said: “At Mobile World Congress 2018, our Nokia booth was packed with Vietnamese visitors who showed enormous interests in Nokia concepts for Digital City, Digital Enterprise, Digital Health and 5G. We have great conversations on how Nokia can support Vietnamese operators to transform from traditional Communication Services Provider (CSP) to Digital Services Provider (DSP), aligning with the country’s evolution towards Industry 4.0. Nokia embeds Artificial Intelligence and machine learning across multiple solutions to become the only global player that offers a single, integrated end-to-end network and services approach, and that’s why we are best-positioned to support Vietnam’s transformation.”
