Nokia cloud-native packet
core solution selected by
Telia Company
/////////////////////////////
T
elia Company has chosen Nokia’s
cloud packet core solution to
profitably deliver enhanced mobile
broadband and to provide the massively
scalable platform required as part of Telia’s
Next-Generation Core. Nokia’s AirGile
cloud-native design enables Telia to benefit
from a full cloud architecture, allowing it
to streamline engineering and operations
to run on a common infrastructure across
all six countries in which it operates. This
will contribute to Telia’s ambition for
competitive operations, lowering the cost
of introducing and operating data services,
substantially accelerating time-to-market
for differentiated services and expanding
business productivity.
As a next step towards harmonisation for
a more efficient packet core network, Telia
Company will evolve their physical common
multi-country evolved packet core to a
common cloud native solution on a shared
cloud infrastructure. Nokia’s industry-leading

and field-proven cloud-native packet core,
including its Cloud Mobility Manager and
Cloud Mobile Gateway is a key enabler in
this transformation. Nokia will begin the
deployment of Telia’s new core network in
multiple data centre locations across the
company’s operations.
As part of its AirGile cloud-native core
portfolio, Nokia’s packet core design
provides the reliability, scalability, flexibility
and performance Telia needs to meet the
networking requirements and economics
for a diverse and demanding range of
digital services and applications for
consumers and enterprises.
The Nokia solution anchors multi-
technology access across wireless licensed,
shared, unlicensed spectrum and fixed
network technologies and delivers
automated cloud networking with dynamic
lifecycle management capabilities. These
capabilities will help Telia improve service
delivery, agility and operational efficiency
for its mobile customers.
Sri Reddy, Senior Vice-President of Nokia’s
IP and optical business, said: “There is
tremendous potential with the continued
growth of mobile broadband and with new
services and 5G in the near future. To take
advantage of these opportunities, Telia must
deploy a new-generation cloud-native packet
core that is able to connect to a greater
variety of devices and deliver a broader
range of services over multiple access
technologies. Nokia uniquely combines
field-proven cloud-native software, cloud
technologies and mobile and IP routing
expertise to help Telia speed up service
delivery, deliver greater scale and capacity
and operate its network more efficiently.
Plus, because our cloud packet core is built
on our robust, field proven router software
(SROS), it provides Telia with a solid
foundational framework for the evolution of
its 4G and the path forward to 5G.” n
