Cloud and NFV core to Nokia trial with Vodafone on 5G transition


Cloud and NFV core to Nokia trial with Vodafone on 5G transition
- Nokia lumia and Vodafone claimed success from a cloud RAN trial using NFV to support macro network transition from 4G to 5G technology.Vodafone and Nokia said they trialed a cloud-based radio access network technology designed to test the transition of a traditional macro network from current "4G" to planned "5G" network technologies.The companies said the trial used Nokia's Cloud RAN architecture using its AirScale Cloud RAN platform running on its AirFrame NFV infrastructure to split baseband processing functionality between "real-time and non real-time functions." The move is said to allow "time-critical functions" to be conducted closer to the end users at the edge of the network while continuing to support traditional macro networks with "Ethernet-based fronthaul providing connectivity to the virtualized functions."The trial was conducted at Vodafone's testing facility in Italy, using the Nokia Cloud RAN platform to test performance of centralized 5G-ready architecture, with measurements of peak data rates, and download and upload speeds of the macro network under different scenarios.
