Nokia said it has won an IP/MPLS network deal with Thailand’s leading complete digital lifestyle enabler, True Group.
Nokia’s solution, which will be deployed in the northeastern and eastern areas of the country where the important Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is located, will enable a robust 5G rollout with customized services requirements for throughput, latency and reliability.
Nokia’s IP/MPLS solution includes network slicing functions – a key building block for any 5G deployment – that will enable True to partition its network into independent logical network slices, each with performance characteristics that fit specific needs. Network slicing will enable new use cases and services for individual customers and vertical segments, such as public safety, energy, healthcare and manufacturing.
Nokia’s solution includes: Nokia 7950 XRS, Nokia 7750 SR powered by Nokia FP4 silicon and Nokia 7250 IXR IP/MPLS routers, and Nokia Network Services Platform (NSP) SDN solution for transport network slicing.
