Nokia deploys Australia’s first integrated 5G antenna with Optus

    

Press Release

 

Nokia deploys Australia's first integrated 5G antenna with Optus

• Nokia and Optus deploy the first 5G site to utilize Nokia's Interleaved Passive Active Antenna (IPAA)
• The modular IPAA supports both legacy frequency bands and new 5G bands
• IPAA simplifies and eases deployment challenges of finding space on towers and rooftops, accelerating rollout of 5G networks
  
  

01 June 2021

 

Sydney, Australia – Nokia today announced the deployment of Australia's first Interleaved Passive Active Antenna (IPAA) in collaboration with Optus. Together, Nokia and Optus deployed the first IPAA in Yeerongpilly, Brisbane. The solution helps ease site related challenges which accelerates the introduction of 5G services across the country.

 

As operators look to rollout 5G, finding space on existing towers and rooftops for new massive MIMO active antenna equipment poses a significant deployment challenge for operators. Long delays in acquiring permission for site upgrades; the potential strengthening of the supporting structures and potential higher rental payments to landlords, can in combination seriously delay operators, such as Optus, in getting 5G services to their customers.

 

Nokia's IPAA solution was developed in collaboration with CommScope. It will allow Optus and other operators to upgrade existing sites to 5G by simply replacing their existing antennas with a similar sized unit that supports all legacy technologies as well as 5G massive MIMO active antenna, all in a single compact solution. By utilizing this solution, Optus can overcome many deployment challenges that can typically hinder the introduction of 5G.

 

Lambo Kanagaratnam, Managing Director of Networks at Optus, said: "We're committed to keeping our customers connected and at the forefront of 5G. By partnering with global technology leaders like Nokia, we continue to bring the best global innovations to our customers. The introduction of the IPAA into our network infrastructure will help us speed up the deployment of our 5G network by addressing space and structural capacity constraints."

 

Rob Joyce, Chief Technology Officer of Australia and New Zealand at Nokia, said: "We're delighted to be partnering with Optus to bring our unique IPAA solution into play in the Australian market. The IPAA is an advanced technical solution to tackle the problems of finding space on towers and rooftops for 5G upgrades. Operators can now simply replace an existing antenna with Nokia's IPAA solution to upgrade the site and at the same time, introduce 5G; it couldn't be simpler."

Press Release

 

Nokia selected by T-Mobile to deliver managed security services and optical network modernization

• Nokia's managed automation services to deliver automated network and security operations for T-Mobile Netherlands
• Operator's infrastructure is protected against cyber threats with Nokia's holistic Managed Security Services
• Nokia WaveFabric portfolio to transform operator's optical network into a service-centric platform to fulfill 5G demands and future technical developments
  
  

27 May 2021

 

Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced it has been selected by T-Mobile Netherlands as a strategic partner to accelerate digital transformation while securing its fixed and mobile networks against cyber threats. The partnership will provide the operator with a wide range of managed services including automated network and security operations, as well as a service-centric optical network over the course of the five-year rollout.

 

With an ever-growing amount of Security threats and attacks on networks globally, regulators are calling for more stringent security measures at the same time. To further improve protection of its network and customers, T-Mobile Netherlands will make use of Nokia's Managed Security Services – covering all network elements. The service will provide a wide spectrum of security capabilities while meeting the latest cyber security standards and regulations. Nokia's state-of-the-art network and services operations centre will deliver these services on a 24/7 basis. Nokia will use its NetGuard Audit Compliance Manager to continuously audit and remediate the security configurations of T-Mobile Netherlands to improve compliance to regulations and minimize risks.

 

The partnership will also ensure a superior user experience for clients through comprehensive managed multi-vendor network operation services. In addition, cognitive services based on the Nokia AVA AI-ML system will transform the overall efficiency of the network operation and guarantee the resilience required in the digital era.

 

To create a more scalable and automated service-centric platform, Nokia will modernize the operator's optical network by consolidating its existing Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) networks into one new core and aggregation network. T-Mobile's renewed DWDM network will cover the entire country, including 50+ strategic cities, offering its customers enhanced service quality and speeds reaching 400Gbit/s and higher, while it benefits from a simplified network that increases operational and cost efficiency.

 

The optical solutions being deployed to further future-proof T-Mobile's network are based on the Nokia WaveFabric service-ready platforms and Nokia WaveSuite software portfolio. The Nokia NSP (Network Services Platform) will provide network automation for faster delivery of transport services, optimized network utilization and traffic engineering, as well as dynamic assurance for operating the network with maximum performance and reliability.

 

Jeroen van Straten, Director Network Operations at T-Mobile, said: "T-Mobile wants its customers to enjoy our networks without any privacy concerns. That is why we continuously challenge ourselves to make our networks as stable and secure as possible. We selected Nokia based on their comprehensive set of sustainable and secure solutions. With Nokia's years of experience in managed services and building robust optical networks, our team is even more able to concentrate on enabling new services for our customers with faster time to market and lower risks and costs."

 

Friedrich Trawoeger, Senior Vice President Cloud and Cognitive Services at Nokia, said: "Our intensified partnership with T-Mobile Netherlands leverages our deep understanding of their network while also ensuring heightened importance on protecting their network against possible cyber breaches. Our continuous innovation in security services and service-centric optical networks accelerates digital transformation and provides solutions that can be easily scaled to meet 5G demands and be ready for new developments in the future."
