Nokia Solutions and Networks (NSN) has announced plans to establish a Mobile Broadband Security Center in Berlin that will facilitate an end-to-end security testing for multi-vendor mobile broadband environments. In addition to this, NSN and its partners in the security ecosystem will be able to simulate threat scenarios and assess security solutions in the center to ensure best scalability and efficiency of the solutions for meeting carrier grade requirements.
The security center which will be ready by second half of 2014 will also be a platform for knowledge exchange on mobile broadband-related telco security research with customers, business and research partners, and public authorities.
According to NSN, it has been a long-term proponent of secure LTE networks and has established the tools and techniques to meet 3GPP recommendations.
“Europe and specifically Germany are leading drivers for the highest standards of telco security and privacy protection. This in conjunction with our security expertise and significant R&D footprint in Germany makes Berlin a natural choice for us. We want to engage in a dialog with the telco security community and contribute our broad experience in protecting Mobile Broadband networks,” said Hermann Rodler, managing director of NSN in Germany. “In the Mobile Broadband Security Center, we will leverage our existing expertise and our partner ecosystem in order to increase end-to-end security in mobile broadband today and drive forward 5G security concepts and standardisation.”
