Under the deal, Nokia will supply its AirScale<\/a> 5G<\/a> RAN portfolio of products to enable Elisa in digitizing Finland, Nokia said.
The AirScale 5G Radio Access portfolio will further help Elisa provide enhanced mobile connectivity, as well as additional use cases such as Massive IoT and Ultra-Reliable Low Latency services (URLLC), Nokia said.
The deal will particularly pay attention to mobile network technology migration to ensure that the radios support both 5G and 4G subscribers across the country, Nokia said.
Notably Elisa is planning to phase out its 3G network by 2023 to support its migration towards 5G services.
“I believe we will have exciting years ahead creating new solutions to meet our customers’ needs, also in the field of private networks, ultra-low latency services, and massive IoT. I look forward to continuing to develop this relationship into the 5G era and beyond,” said said Veli-Matti Mattila, CEO at Elisa.
“Nokia has a long-standing partnership with Elisa, which we are excited to extend into the 5G era as their strategic supply partner...I look forward to continuing to work closely with Elisa on its ambition to digitize Finnish society,” said Pekka Lundmark, President and CEO at Nokia.
The telecoms gear maker on Tuesday bagged a 5G RAN deal from Britain’s telecom operator.
“With more than 150 commercial engagements underway, its 5G solutions, software and services allow Nokia customers to take advantage of the promise of this next generation of network technology,” Nokia said.
