Nokia has already been providing its IP solutions for mobile
backhaul, edge, core and peering as part of Telefonica’s IP Network Fusion
project. The operator designed the project as a platform for incorporating
services into a single network infrastructure, offering advanced communications
services and transforming the customer experience for mobile, residential and
business services.
Under the final deal in the project, Telefonica will deploy
the Nokia 7250 IXR products, including the 7250 IXR-e cell site router for
access and the 7250 IXR-R6 for aggregation. Both are specifically designed to
support edge clouds, moving applications closer to end users for a better
customer experience.
The Nokia 7250 IXR products also bring unique advantages in
this part of Telefonica’s IP network. They provide end-to-end support for
advanced IP routing protocols such as segment routing that will lay the
foundation for network slicing, providing fast and efficient automated service
delivery and service assurance. The 7250 IXR products also enhance the
reliability of cellular service by providing advanced timing, synchronization
and quality of service capabilities, which are critical for cellular radio
performance.
With the incorporation of this Nokia solution, Telefonica
continues to optimize its network in order to offer high capacity and quality
connectivity with wide capillarity in rural and remote locations.
Javier Gutiérrez, Strategy and Network Development Vice
President, Telefonica Spain, said: “The network extensions from Nokia will help
Telefonica provide a full service catalogue to our customers. Services
including video streaming and multicast live video, including Telefonica´s TV
platform Movistar+, voice, internet broadband, and a range of enterprise
services will be available through both our fixed access and mobile
infrastructure, providing increased network coverage for rural and remote sites
in particular.”
Vach Kompella, Head of IP Networks Division, Nokia, said:
“As one of the foremost operators in Europe, Telefonica has always focused on
modernization of the network, and the connectivity of the access network is
critical to success. With its end-to-end IP network now complete, Telefonica
can bring new services to its customers faster, provide better service
assurance and prepare for anticipated growth, with the evolution to 5G and edge
computing. We are pleased to partner with Telefonica to prepare for the
future.”
