New Delhi, India - Nokia's cloud-native
core technology is being deployed by Idea Cellular in
Delhi, the capital of India, as part of the operator's
transformative steps toward digitalization to meet increasing
data demand and mobile broadband growth. The Nokia
technology will allow Idea to run both data and voice services on a
common cloud platform, significantly reducing operational cost
and time-to-market and providing better quality of
service for its subscribers.
Part of Nokia's AirGile portfolio, a modular software
architecture built with cloud-native products and capabilities,
Nokia's cloud core brings Idea both packet and voice core on a
common cloud platform. Adding the cloud platform enhances
automation capabilities, such as lifecycle management, higher
scalabilities and capacities, thus bringing greater operational
benefits to Idea's network. Adaptation to a Nokia cloud core will
enable Idea to rollout new deployments, scale faster and adopt a
delivery model that meets customer demands for enhanced mobile
broadband, improved latency, and accelerated time-to-market for new
services.
Driven by demand for a unified infrastructure, Nokia's proven
cloud-native Cloud Packet Core solution, including its Cloud
Mobility Manager, and Cloud Mobile Gateway deployed on CloudBand,
are key enablers in Idea's transformational journey from bare-metal
to a cloud core architecture. Combined with the introduction of
Nokia AirFrame servers, Idea's network is ready to address the
demands of high density data center and cloud computing
environments.
Anil Tandan, Chief Technology Officer at Idea,
said: "As India prepares to define its path to 5G, we at
Idea are building the foundation by adding Nokia's cloud core
capabilities. This deployment will allow us to deliver a
best-in-class network experience to our subscribers and
significantly reduce the time required to introduce new
services."
Nitin Dahiya, head of the Idea customer team at Nokia,
said: "Our cloud-native core solutions allows Idea to
address the growing demand for both data and voice services to
continue to evolve our business model and services. It further
leverages the advantages of Nokia's AirGile portfolio, to add
flexibility and agility to the network. It is our privilege to
partner with Idea in its journey towards digitalization."
