26 February, 2017
Barcelona, Spain - Nokia has developed a solution that will allow operators to
rapidly address the huge demands of connected people and industries. Nokia 5G
FIRST comprises its radio access network (RAN) including Nokia AirScale massive
MIMO Adaptive Antennas, packet core and mobile transport solutions as well as a
full service offer using Intel® architecture and the Intel® 5G modem for initial
deployments starting in 2017.
With the introduction of 5G FIRST operators will gain a first-to-market
advantage based on early specifications. In addition Nokia will use the lessons
learned through real-world deployment to contribute to final 3GPP
standardization of the technology.
While each operator has its own timeline for moving to 5G, some leading
providers are eager to take advantage of the extremely high capacity and low
latency connectivity it promises to deliver. To meet early-adopter demands Nokia
will make its commercial 5G FIRST end-to-end solution available in the second
half of 2017.
The radio access network components of 5G FIRST comprise new Nokia massive MIMO
Adaptive Antennas for 3.5 GHz, 4.5 GHz, 28 GHz and 39 GHz frequency bands, the
AirScale System Module, AirScale cloud RAN technology and software. Nokia has
upgraded its AirScale and AirFrame platforms to 5G based on specifications
developed by the KT Special Interests Group (KT SIG) and Verizon 5G Technology
Forum and the platforms will be adapted to 3GPP as standards develop.
Leveraging Nokia''s end-to-end network capabilities, 5G FIRST also incorporates
the multi-access Nokia Cloud Packet Core and the Nokia Shared Data Layer as part
of a cloud-native core architecture to deliver the flexibility, massive
scalability and performance operators need to rapidly and cost-effectively
deliver 5G services. A comprehensive array of mobile transport offerings from
Nokia address the critical capacity, reliability and latency requirements of the
5G era.
Nokia will work with operators to meet their customers'' unique needs. Leveraging
its long history of Nokia Global Services and Bell Labs Consulting expertise,
the company has extended its 5G Acceleration Services to include 5G
transformation consulting, 5G phase one network design and 5G cross-domain
architecture services.
5G FIRST is underpinned by technical specifications outlined by the Verizon 5G
Technology Forum ecosystem. As a proofpoint, Nokia is working with Verizon and
Intel to deliver advanced 5G services to homes in select Verizon markets such as
Dallas, enabling next-generation video and entertainment services or other
applications in the future, such as remote, in-home healthcare.
Ed Chan, Senior Vice President- Technology Strategy and Planning at Verizon,
said: "Leveraging the Verizon 5GTF partnership specification, Nokia''s 5G FIRST
will accelerate the commercialization of 5G services to our customers. We are
excited to partner with Nokia to bring 5G to the pre-commercial pilot cities in
2017."
Samih Elhage, President of Mobile Networks at Nokia, said: "We are able to
leverage our breadth of expertise to deliver a true end-to-end 5G FIRST network
and services solution. Working with operators such as Verizon we can help them
tailor deployments to meet their own customers'' unique demands and capitalize
first on the opportunities this will bring. And we can leverage the technology
to work with industries to identify new uses for 5G now under the 5G community
program which will in turn open up even more opportunities for our operator
customers."
Asha Keddy, Vice President and General Manager of Next Generation Standards,
Intel Communications and Devices Group, at Intel, said: "5G marks an historic
inflection point for the industry, and early investments in cloud and core
networks, radio technologies and compute platforms are fundamental for realizing
the transformative potential of 5G. Nokia''s adoption of the recently announced
global Intel 5G Modem for use in its upcoming platform called 5G FIRST is a
great example our innovative collaboration and progress in helping operators
accelerate 5G tests and commercial deployments."
Malik Saadi, Managing Director and Vice President, Strategic Technology of ABI
Research said: "Nokia 5G FIRST features all fundamental building blocks that are
necessary for a 5G deployment. The technology will allow operators to
bulletproof their 5G strategies/implementations even before standardization has
been finalized."
As a next step in a new technology collaboration with Intel, Nokia will leverage
the Intel 5G modem* for initial deployments of 5G FIRST to deliver ultra-
broadband to the home using fixed wireless access as an alternative to existing
fiber deployments.
Nokia will continue to expand development of 5G fixed and mobile applications
working with companies in the 5G community as part of the ng Connect program,
which brings innovative companies together to collaborate on solution concepts,
business models and market trials. The 5G FIRST solution will be made available
for testing by operators and third parties in Nokia''s 5G Innovation City
initiative in Espoo, Finland and New Jersey, USA.
At Mobile World Congress 2017, Nokia is conducting a series of live
demonstrations including:
* 5G home experience demonstrations showing delivery of HD TV with Intel and
multi-player virtual reality gaming
* 5G event experience with Nokia Bell Labs showing live HD feeds of a sports
game to thousands with the ability to see close-ups, instant replays and
augmented reality
* 5G industry experience with Nokia Bell Labs using 5G to improve factory
workflow automation via control of machines and real-time analysis of
sensors, increasing safety, security and efficiency
