Orange Slovensko and Nokia this week signed a new commercial deal that builds on long-term end-to-end network collaboration between the two companies in Slovakia.

Nokia’s technology will boost network capacity, and offer an improved end user experience and new upcoming innovative 5G services to Orange Slovensko’s consumer and enterprise customers.

Orange’s network in Slovakia will utilize Nokia’s 5G New Radio (5G NR)-based AirScale hardware and software for the new 5G frequency bands. Nokia will also provide its state-of-the-art NetAct Management System together with advanced automation and efficiency tools. The deal will support Orange Slovensko in the evolution of its recently-modernized AirScale-based 4G network, by activating 5G in existing bands through pure software upgrades.

Federico Colom, CEO of Orange Slovensko
With this agreement, we are taking the next step towards launching next-generation mobile services, leveraging our recently modernized 5G-ready Radio Access Network. 

Tommi Uitto, President Mobile Networks, Nokia
This deal builds on our long-standing trusted relationship with Orange and will deliver a superior experience for businesses and consumers alike, allowing them to unlock the future potential of 5G
