Spark selects Nokia for network upgrade quoting : "Mobile World Live"

as declared in The upgrade will see Spark's core and backhaul networks run on a Nokia lumia IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network using Nokia's 7250 Interconnect Router R6 (IXR-R6). In 2019, it is aiming to scale up migrations of PSTN, wireless broadband, and VoIP; enhance calling features; and commence regional migrations. "The 7250 IXR-R6 enables cost-effective transport of both latency-sensitive and 'bursty' traffic, which makes it equally suitable for [5G] ultra-broadband as well as for new IoT-based services," Nokia said. Spark plans to build the core network foundation, begin migrating and decommissioning exchanges, and introduce the IMS during 2017 and 2018. Spark has also been upgrading its network with Ericsson after announcing in February a multi-year deal to fully digitise its voice network during a phased upgrade program.

Spark selects Nokia for network upgrade
Nokia lumia said its IP/MPLS gear addresses key network challenges covering traffic growth and major architectural changes on the path to 5G. The operator announced a three-year strategic partnership with Nokia covering the deployment of IP and optics equipment, as well as software. Spark, New Zealand's largest mobile player, selected Nokia to upgrade its core and backhaul infrastructure to prepare for the adoption of ultra-broadband, IoT and 5G services. Spark plans to expand the capacity of its transport network over the next two years to prepare for 5G. Rajesh Singh, Spark's GM of partnering, procurement and vendor management, said the operator experienced a tenfold increase in network traffic after introducing its broadband over wireless service, which is primarily based on Nokia's IP/MPLS network.
