Nokia delivers 'anyhaul' end-to-end mobile transport
portfolio for the 5G era #MWC17
- Nokia brings together mobile transport technology across
microwave, IP, optical, mobile and fixed access to offer industry's
most comprehensive 'anyhaul' mobile transport portfolio
- End-to-end solution is specifically designed and optimized to
address the critical requirements of the 5G era
- Employs carrier SDN across portfolio for programmability and
service assurance
23 February 2017
Espoo, Finland - Nokia has expanded its
industry-leading mobile transport portfolio with new
products and innovations specifically designed to
address the critical requirements of the 5G era. This expansion
aims to satisfy the increasingly complex and diverse challenges of
today's evolving mobile infrastructure with the industry's most
comprehensive range of 'anyhaul' mobile transport options. The
programmable, end-to-end networking solutions build upon Nokia's
deep pedigree in mobile, microwave, IP, optical, and fixed access
technologies.
Ultra-broadband, IoT and the Cloud are driving a growing
portfolio of services, use cases and business models. To satisfy
the combined requirements for increased coverage, capacity and
reduced latency, radio access and core networks are evolving,
including redistributing mobile functions and using cloud-compute
technologies. This significantly impacts the underlying transport
layer whose role of aggregating and interconnecting traffic must
also evolve and stay ahead of changes to the mobile layer. As a
result, 5G era transport networks must massively scale, provide
flawless connectivity with low latency, and employ programmability
to provision services as quickly and dynamically as the cloud-based
applications and mobile elements it connects.
Nokia has developed a broad portfolio of next generation
'anyhaul' transport solutions with new additions in microwave, IP,
optical, and fixed access solutions, all being launched at MWC
2017. In addition, new innovations will be demonstrated including
the ability to use 5G wireless spectrum as a transport mechanism
for 5G services. All capabilities leverage Nokia's early
investments in SDN and virtualization to deliver the programmable
IP interconnectivity needed to assure the heightened service
requirements, and with an evolutionary path to support past,
present and future mobile technologies on a common
infrastructure.
Nokia's entire portfolio has been enhanced for latency-sensitive
Ethernet 'fronthaul'. These new capabilities in microwave, IP,
packet optical and fixed access products complement Nokia's
existing optical WDM-based CPRI fronthaul solution.
The Nokia portfolio has also been optimized for 10Gbps cell site
connections, up from the previous 1Gbps interface which has
dominated 2G/3G and LTE backhaul deployments for nearly a decade.
With these capacities comes greater need for high availability and
each product offers enhanced capabilies, including timing,
synchronization and OAM, optimized to their specific
technologies.
The 5G era will leverage cloud technologies, creating a more
dynamic application environment that will strain the more static
transport networks built in the past. To alleviate this, the
enhanced Nokia transport solution is programmable, allowing mobile
operators to rapidly address changing market requirements and
deliver premium broadband and IoT services when and where needed,
in the most efficient way.
To share insight on future innovations, Nokia will demonstrate
at MWC 2017 a 5G wireless mmWave-based small cell deployment with
self-backhauling capabilities. Using an innovative cloud-based mesh
topology manager, it creates an in-band meshed network with
self-organizing, self-healing and load-balancing capabilities.
Nokia is also announcing the following mobile transport product
innovations:
· The Nokia
Wavence Microwave Portfolio introduces a new family of
ultra-broadband transceivers. The ultra-broadband transceiver twin,
a 'dual carrier in a box' radio, and the ultra-broadband
transceiver 80, a compact E-band radio, support carrier aggregation
and carrier SDN to deliver multi-gigabit, low latency and
programmable microwave transport. Nokia Wavence is the evolution
and the new brand of the Nokia 9500 Microwave Packet Radio
family.
· The Nokia
7250 Interconnect Router R6 (IXR-R6) is a new IP/MPLS router with
terabit-scale, low latency, improved port densities and support for
next-generation interfaces, such as Ethernet fronthaul, that
expands and complements Nokia's IP/MPLS mobile transport solutions
including the 7705 SAR, 7210 SAS and 7750 SR product families.
· The Nokia
1830 family introduces new functionality to further enhance its
optical anyhaul mobile transport solutions. New Integrated
Packet Transport cards for the Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Switch
address Ethernet anyhaul applications by combining the scalability
of 100G packet aggregation and coherent DWDM with ultra-low latency
and industry leading time synchronization. Additionally, the Nokia
1830 Versatile WDM Module (VWM) adds optical protection switching,
assuring high availability of WDM fronthaul
traffic.· The
Nokia 7360 ISAM FX access node and 7368 ISAM ONT optical network
termination devices extend the performance of Passive Optical
Networks (PON) and are designed to cost effectively introduce more
bandwidth with 10Gbps for PON and Point-to-Point technologies.
Including network synchronization support, the new capabilities
enable operators to easily leverage existing fiber-to-the-home
deployments for 'anyhaul' applications.
Key facts:
· Nokia has
developed a broad portfolio of transport solutions to support the
diverse requirements of ubiquitous ultra-broadband and its
evolution, including latency-sensitive transport and
synchronization
· Nokia's
flexible, end-to-end networking solutions build upon the company's
deep pedigree in microwave, IP, optical and fixed access
technologies· Nokia's
scalable 'anyhaul' solutions are available in an extensive range of
capacities and housed in purpose-built platforms designed for
indoor/outdoor deployments, macro/small cell environments, and
urban/rural
locations· Nokia's
programmable solutions build upon early aggressive investments in
SDN and virtualization to provide automated provisioning, resource
optimization and service
assurance· Nokia's
comprehensive and multi-layer 5G Acceleration Services leverage a
use case-driven design approach to help operators turn 5G visions
into real business success
John Byrne, Service Director, Global Telecom Technology and
Software, GlobalData, said: "With the advent of 5G just around
the corner, mobile operators are looking forward to a new era of
denser radio networks, new spectrum, dramatically higher bandwidth
and ultra-low latency. But for all its promise, 5G will make
transport networks infinitely more complex, requiring extreme
flexibility across the entire network spanning fronthaul, backhaul
and core. A programmable, end-to-end transport network that can
accommodate a variety of 5G use cases such as SmartGrid and the
Internet of Things as well as 2G/3G and LTE will be a crucial part
of any operator's solution."
Barry French, CMO for Nokia, said: "Mobile transport is
often the unsung hero in making the mobile experience a reality.
With the proliferation of 4.5G Pro, 4.9G and 5G, the demand for
wireless capacity is increasing. The diversity of today's evolving
mobile infrastructure requires an extensive range of transport
solutions which only a company like Nokia can provide. Nokia is in
an enviable position to pull together elements from wireless,
microwave, IP, optical, and fixed access, along with the local
experts worldwide, to ensure our customers have the most
comprehensive transport network portfolio to take them into the 5G
era."
All products and innovations will be in the Nokia booth at
Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Feb 27-Mar 2, Hall 3
Stand 3A10.
