Nokia and Elisa push network boundaries with world’s first 1T deployment

    

Press Release

 

Nokia and Elisa push network boundaries with world's first 1T deployment

 

• Nokia raises the bar on next generation IP networks with a commercial trial to prepare Elisa's networks for the future
   
• Elisa turbocharges its Nokia 7950 XRS routers with terabit interfaces to keep IP network capacity ahead of the curve as new applications and access technologies push network capacity to new limits

 

27 January 2021

 

Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced it has achieved a major network capacity milestone with its long-standing partner Elisa while preparing the operator's network for the future. Through a live commercial trial, the companies are proving the world's first 1T (terabit) clear-channel interface deployment to efficiently scale Elisa's network to support new applications and access technologies.

 

The exponential demand for connectivity and bandwidth driven by cloud computing, video streaming, AI, IoT and 5G, coupled with changing internet traffic patterns among consumers, home workers and businesses is pushing capacity limits of communication service provider (CSP) networks. As CSPs look to combine gigabit capable fixed and wireless access technologies, the IP networks that carry this broadband traffic must scale in lockstep.

 

Most networks are still operating a multitude of 100GE ports, with 400GE on the horizon. Nokia's trial with Elisa is proving out terabit interfaces today.

 

Elisa upgraded some of its Nokia 7950 Extensible Routing System (XRS) nodes with 1T interfaces powered by Nokia's FP4 chipset, the industry's first terabit capable routing silicon. The new FP4 terabit linecard supports two 1T ports and demonstrated deployment readiness by carrying live traffic on Elisa's network. Besides a 10x boost in capacity, terabit links simplify operational complexity and overheads by avoiding the need to distribute terabit flows on high capacity routes over multiple lower rate interfaces in link aggregation groups. 

 

Kalle Lehtinen, CTO, at Elisa, said: "Elisa continues its string of world firsts with this record-breaking IP routing capability achieved with Nokia, enabling us to leapfrog an 800G progression that other service providers are only strategizing about. This strengthens our position as a global 5G leader and gigabit broadband service provider, allowing us to stay ahead of the curve and maintain our commitment to our customers." 

 

Ken Kutzler, Vice President of IP Routing Hardware at Nokia, said: "Nokia is honored to have a longstanding partnership with Elisa. Delivering FP4-based 1T ports in the 7950 XRS is a testament to Nokia's innovation and drive to push the technology envelope, maximizing investments for customers like Elisa."

Nokia and CMCC trial AI-powered radio access on live 5G network

• Trials on CMCC's live network used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to forecast bandwidth and detect anomalies with 90 percent accuracy
• Operators set to make significant cost savings of over 70 percent due to the lack of human intervention required to process issues
• Nokia's RAN Intelligent Controller acts as a gateway to AI and Machine Learning (ML) technologies, enabling a range of real-time data-driven network enhancements

 

21 January 2021

 

Espoo, Finland – Nokia and China Mobile (CMCC) today announced that they have successfully completed live trials of an AI-powered radio access network (RAN) over CMCC's network. Utilizing CMCC's 4G and 5G networks, the companies completed an AI-based real-time user equipment (UE) traffic bandwidth forecast trial in Shanghai as well as a network anomaly detection trial in Taiyuan, the capital city of China's Shanxi province.

 

During the trial, China Mobile introduced its 'i-wireless-intelligent and simplicity 5G network' concept, a series of technologies designed to create a greener, smarter, and more efficient 5G network. The near-real-time RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) is one of these technologies and a new network element that enables near real-time control and optimization of RAN elements enabled by real-time data exposure and cross-layer perception capabilities utilizing AI and ML applications.

 

In the trial, the RIC was included in the edge cloud using Nokia's AirFrame Open Edge server platform. The RIC platform enables increased network optimization capabilities through policy-guided, closed-loop automation. These are fundamental to further advance the 5G RAN architecture, enabling a wide range of intelligent, real-time data-driven, network automation, and optimization applications.

 

In Shanghai, the trial confirmed that AI-based real-time user equipment (UE) traffic prediction accuracy exceeded 90 percent in a live 5G network test. This was achieved by estimating the UE radio quality and related throughput for 100 milliseconds. With the real-time RAN data exposure capability, Nokia's 5G AirScale base station was able to send UE radio quality information to the RIC in real-time, which is critical for the accuracy of the predictions.

 

Nokia and CMRI worked together to design the trial solution The trial's test specifications were defined by the China Mobile Research Institute (CMRI), Shanghai Mobile, and Nokia.

 

Nokia, Shanxi Mobile and the China Mobile Research Institute (CMRI) also trialed network anomaly detection technology. The trial examined network operation automation using CMCC's 4G/5G network across more than 10,000 cells. With the AI/ML technology assistant, network problems were detected more accurately and automatically. The AI/ML-powered anomaly detection solution can drastically decrease the time needed to analyze issues and find the root cause. For operators, it represents a cost saving of more than 70 percent on human resources required to process the issues. Nokia's anomaly detection platform software (SW) architecture offers a distributed and split SW architecture and is suitable for non-real-time and near-real-time RIC deployment.

 

Huang Yuhong, Deputy Director of China Mobile Research Institute, said: "RIC plays a key role in enabling AI/ML capability in the RAN, which is of great significance to realize the concept of the 'i-wireless-intelligent and simplicity 5G network'. Nokia and CMCC's trials are very meaningful for RIC commercialization. China Mobile has put effort into the AI-assisting RAN network technology. We are pleased to complete these trials using AI to forecast UE transmission bandwidth and detect anomalies on CMCC's live network with our partner Nokia. The field trial proved the availability of RIC enabling network enhancements through customized real-time BTS data analysis and control."

 

Pasi Toivanen, Head of Edge Cloud Platforms BU at Nokia, commented: "We are excited to have worked with China Mobile on this project to advance RAN network intelligence. We believe it will be a key asset in improving the wireless network efficiency and the experience of its subscribers. This is an example of Nokia's commitment to supporting our customers in the delivery of world-class network performance."
