Nokia and A1 Austria (A1) have announced that they have successfully completed the industry’s first 5G edge cloud network slicing trial with Microsoft.
The deployment utilised Nokia’s 5G edge slicing solution integrated with Microsoft Azure managed edge compute on A1’s live commercial network in Vienna, Austria.
With edge cloud network slicing, A1 can bring enterprise cloud applications to mobile users over a high capacity, secure and low latency network.
During the trial, A1 demonstrated real-time HD video streaming by transmitting live camera feeds from several mobile devices using Multicasting.io’s streaming mobile platform running on the Azure edge infrastructure.
The 5G edge cloud network slicing solution can be used by enterprises and industries across a wide range of use cases including retail, media, utilities, healthcare and transportation. The solution offers mobile operators an opportunity to generate new revenue streams.
Nokia’s 5G Edge Slicing solution enables operators to take advantage of both slicing and edge cloud capabilities. Network slices can be tailored to support specific customers’ use cases and different applications based on network performance, quality, traffic routing, latency and security.
Nokia’s new solution enabled A1 to isolate its public Internet and enterprise traffic while keeping critical business traffic local using 4G/5G core breakout for enterprise edge cloud applications.
