Nokia to provide Tele2 with Cloud Packet Core

Tele2 has selected Nokia's Cloud Packet Core solution for deployment across its international network, first in Croatia and followed by Sweden, the Baltic states, Austria, the Netherlands and Kazakhstan.

The new generation mobile network will give Tele2 the flexibility, scale and performance necessary to support LTE consumer services on a larger scale, and further develop the foundation for 5G. Nokia will deliver its full Cloud Packet Core solution based on Cloud Mobile Gateway  and Cloud Mobility Manager, including the EMS and Virtualized Network Functions (VNF) Manager. The deal also includes Nokia's Professional Services.

"Like all leading operators, Tele2 is building out its packet core network to address the growth of consumer mobile broadband and an evolution path to 5G. Nokia is a packet core innovator and our cloud-native solution will allow Tele2 to connect a greater number and variety of devices and deliver a broader range of services. We look forward to helping our customer transform its mobile network infrastructure so they can offer new services faster, ensure scalability and performance, and evolve with confidence," stated Basil Alwan, president of IP/Optical Networks at Nokia.
