Nokia has completed a live network trial in Poland in collaboration with Orange to validate the benefits of cloud-optimised radio access networks for the smooth evolution to next-generation 5G technologies.<\/p>\n
The two companies trialled Cloud RAN (C-RAN) technology to prepare for the eventual introduction of a distributed cloud architecture for 5G by Orange. A distributed, cloud-based radio access network architecture like Nokia’s AirScale Cloud RAN provides capacity where needed and prepares the network for the deployment of new 5G access technology as part of a multi-layered architecture.<\/p>\n
The trial took place from March to the beginning of May in Poland, with radio sites in the city of Chelm and the virtualised part of the baseband running in a data centre in Lublin, around 70 km away. As a result, Nokia’s AirScale Cloud Base Station provided equally strong network performance on both Nokia’s reference cloud infrastructure and on Orange’s own cloud environment.<\/p>\n
Nokia’s architecture splits baseband processing functionality across the radio cell sites and data centre using its AirScale Cloud Base Station. Time-critical functions are performed at the cell site and connected via Ethernet fronthaul – allowing the operator to use its existing transport network – while centralised software hosted at the data centre cost-efficiently performs non real-time functions.<\/p>\n
Nokia AirScale Cloud RAN provides the flexibility needed for future services and requirements for 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), low latency services and end-to-end slicing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
