Nokia announced that Dish Network chose Nokia’s cloud-native, standalone Core software products to help it build a fully-automated, cloud-native 5G network in the US. The deal follows months of joint testing as Nokia and Dish proved their respective “any cloud” functionalities in multiple cloud environments, along with Nokia’s ability to integrate and deliver a fully cloud-native, containerised platform.
The agreement includes subscriber data management, device management, packet core, voice and data core, as well as integration services. Nokia will also deliver additional cloud-native products that will provide 4G, 5G standalone and Voice over Wi-Fi access to core network functions.
