Nokia deploys its 5G Standalone Core for Telia in Finland

Nokia has deployed its 5G Standalone (SA) Core network in Finland for Telia, allowing the Swedish communication service provider (CSP) to deliver new advanced 5G services like slicing, provide stronger and more reliable network performance, and more readily monetize its network assets.

Nokia is also in the process of rolling out its 5G SA Core for Telia in Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden.

The rollout in Finland includes Nokia’s cloud packet core and registers, which allows subscriber data to be consolidated into a common repository using a distributed and flexible architecture. Telia is also using Nokia’s Radio Access Network.

Nokia is leading the 5G SA Core market, with over 80 CSP and enterprise customers around the world; that includes nearly 30 CSPs in Europe. In addition, 25 of the top 40 service providers by revenue rely on Nokia core network products.
