30 May 2022

 

Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced plans to integrate Microsoft Azure Arc capabilities into the Nokia MX Industrial Edge (MXIE) platform, unlocking the potential of mission critical applications for Industry 4.0 use cases.   Through the integration, Nokia MXIE and private wireless solution customers have seamless access to the full Azure ecosystem offering on MXIE.

 

Aimed to support industries including automotive, manufacturing, energy, logistics and government, the powerful combination will enable use cases by allowing customers to run applications in the traditional cloud, as well as directly on their premises. Collaboration in these areas will provide numerous benefits such as increasing worker safety through AI and automation, while decreasing the amount of needed backhaul with local data processing.

Microsoft Azure Arc offers a simple way to deploy and manage Azure applications on-premise with multi-cloud resources, such as virtual or physical servers and Kubernetes clusters. It simplifies governance and management by delivering a consistent multi-cloud and on-premise management platform.

 

The Nokia MXIE is a future-ready, high-capacity and highly-resilient as-a-service OT on-premise edge solution that accelerates the digital transformation of operational technology (OT), and is powered with 4.9/LTE and 5G connectivity provided by the Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC).

Microsoft Azure Arc running on Nokia MXIE provides enterprises with added access to Azure capabilities while benefiting from private wireless connected assets' real-time data and on-premise, highly-resilient OT-centric edge processing.

 

Stephan Litjens, Vice President, Nokia Enterprise Solutions, said: "We have built a leadership position with our private wireless networks solution and MX Industrial Edge platform in large part by working with our valued partners. Our extended collaboration with Microsoft will enable and enhance the performance of Industry 4.0 mission critical applications allowing our customers to tap into Microsoft Azure Arc in the cloud and on the customer premise's edge."

Keith Sutton, CTO, Telco Service Line at Microsoft said: "Nokia is an established leader in fully integrated industrial edge and private wireless solutions to provide features and automated management tools that accelerate OT digitalization. With Microsoft Azure Arc, a wide ecosystem of applications, and our long standing work with Nokia, we can provide AI-powered insights and identify solutions to workflow issues for mission critical Industry 4.0 applications running at the edge." 

 

Nokia has deployed mission-critical networks to more than 2,200 leading enterprise customers in the transport, energy, large enterprise, manufacturing, webscale and public sector segments around the globe. It has also extended its expertise to more than 450 large private wireless customers worldwide across an array of sectors, and has been cited by numerous industry analysts as the leading provider of private wireless networking worldwide.

Nokia launches cloud-native IMS Voice Core product to simplify network operations for communication service providers

    

Press Release 

 

Nokia launches cloud-native IMS Voice Core product to simplify network operations for communication service providers

• New Nokia IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Voice Core consolidates various 3GPP functionalities into a single Cloud Native Network Function (CNF)
• New product, known as Nokia Cloud Native Communication Suite, improves energy efficiency by about 10-20%, relative to a standard IMS Voice Core, according to Nokia data

30 May 2022

 

Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced a new cloud-native IMS Voice Core product to help communication service providers (CSPs) simplify their network operations, increase operational agility, and decrease the cost of managing their network.

 

The Nokia Cloud Native Communication Suite (CNCS) is a simplified, IMS-based product architected as a single Cloud Native Network Function (CNF). This approach, based on a modular architecture composed of independent functions, greatly simplifies the deployment and operability of the IMS Voice Core, significantly reducing installation and upgrade time; provides automated deployment and configuration, reducing footprint; and lowers costs through operational savings of life cycle management.

 

Dedicated network elements, such as the Session Border Controller (SBC), Call Session Control Function (CSCF), Telephony Application Server (TAS) and Media Resource function (MRF), are encapsulated as microservices into the CNF.

 

Nokia Cloud Native Communication Suite improves energy efficiency by 10%-20% compared to other IMS voice cores, because its software architecture improves common resource utilization and internal messaging performance, requiring less infrastructure for the IMS voice service.

 

Nokia Cloud Native Communication Suite is optimized for Fixed, 4G, 5G and WiFi deployments.

 

Don Alusha, Senior Analyst at ABI Research, said: "Nokia's Cloud Native Communications Suite (CNCS) offers a vendor-neutral, 3GPP-compliant IMS voice core that encapsulates complexity by consolidating various IMS voice elements into a more manageable single network function. With a simplified, cloud-native IMS voice core CSPs can reduce their infrastructure footprint, gain better cost efficiencies, and manage the complexity of IMS voice at scale to deliver an improved customer experience while reducing operational costs."

 

Fran Heeran, SVP & Head of Core Networks, Cloud and Network Services at Nokia, said: "As 5G pivots to advanced services, and 4G fulfills its all-IP vision by shifting fully to Voice over LTE, the Cloud Native Communication Suite is Nokia's answer to our CSP customer needs to enhance their network agility, optimize their cost structure, and simplify deployment and operation. With Nokia CNCS, our customers get an off-the-shelf IMS Voice Core with a set of standard-based functions that are implemented to act as a single product."
