SP Telecom ties up with Nokia to build 5G fixed network by 2020

It will enable offerings for both government and enterprise customers.

SP Telecom will collaborate with Nokia to enable faster go-to-market solutions for 5G deployment.

The said 5G-ready network is made possible by Nokia’s latest FP4-based Service Router, optical transport and cloud software solutions, together with its service automation and network orchestration application suite. This will be incorporated into SP Telecom’s high-performance infrastructure.

In 2020, the intelligent data fibre network will enable both fixed and 5G carriers to deploy Cloud-based Virtual Private Network (VPN) and 5G offerings for their government and enterprise customers. These 5G carriers will have the option of leveraging SP Telecom’s hubs around the island for their 5G base stations, enabling computing and analysis at the edge of the network and delivering improved latency and network performance for end users.

SP Telecom and Nokia believes that 5G is faster than 4G as it can enable many applications such as industry automation, autonomous vehicles, remote robotics, augmented and virtual reality, and event live streaming.
