Nokia: to manage telco cloud for Japanese operator
(CercleFinance.com) - Nokia will operate Rakuten Mobile's virtualized core network in a deal that will enable the newest Japanese mobile network operator to focus on its portfolio of services, the Finnish gear maker said on Tuesday.
Considered as a "disruptive" new player in the Japanese mobile marketplace with "ambitious" objectives, Rakuten Mobile is deploying a cloud-native greenfield LTE network that is intended to evolve to enable 5G services.
"By managing its telco cloud we can help Rakuten Mobile to focus on its objectives; to launch its mobile LTE network and to rapidly realize its vision as a 5G digital service provider," Nokia said.
