2020: Announcement of Nokia 5G SA

On August 10, 2020 the Nokia company announced global commercial availability of solutions for private wireless networks 5G SA of an industrial class. It creates an opportunity for the satisfaction of different user requirements in the field of industrial production and mechanical engineering.

According to the company, within development of solutions 5G SA for private wireless networks of Nokia from the first quarter 2020 tests at users and mobile operators. For August, 2020 the company has more than 180 users of private wireless networks, including more than 30 users of 5G networks. Recently Nokia announced deployment of private wireless networks of a 5G in a number of the companies, including Deutsche Bahn, Lufthansa Technik and Toyota Production Engineering.

The solutions Nokia 5G SA provide to corporate users the following choice: they can install the compact Digital Automation Cloud Nokia system which works by the principle of a Plug and Play and supports automation functions, or to continue customization of the networks using building block solutions of Modular Private Wireless Nokia.

Besides, in August, 2020 Nokia announced that the Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology company will develop a private wireless network of Nokia 5G SA in the test mine in the city of Tampere (Finland).

Having unrolled a private wireless network of Nokia 5G SA with a cloud solution of Digital Automation Cloud Nokia, we will be able here, in the test mine in Tampere, to seize other opportunities. Implementation of 5G networks opens a door for opportunities in the field of robotics, remote and independent operation, full-scale automation, analytics and increase in security. Patrick Murphy, the president of department of drilling and technologies, Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology told

We understand that the technology 4.9G/LTE for August, 2020 to the share of which falls more than 85% of industry applications, during some time will remain the main solution for private wireless networks. Emergence of solutions 5G SA gives to users the chance to use possibilities of both worlds. We offer them the choice: or to begin with technology 4.9G/LTE and then to pass to a 5G in process of increase in a maturity of all ecosystem, or at once to pass to a 5G. Ragkhav Sakhgal, the president of the global Nokia Enterprise business group told

Successfully to work at the industry markets, for example, on transport or in the field of industrial production, the ecosystem of cellular communication should do advantageous offers which will allow to solve the current problems and at the same time to support long-term strategic trends. The market of private networks will be based on trust which private networks LTE, however deserved the enterprise, vendors and operators should estimate already the actual potential of a 5G and consider this technology in the strategic plans. Pablo Tomasi, the top analyst of division of private networks of Omdia company added

Announcing commercially available solutions 5G SA for private networks, Nokia gives the chance to OEM producers and to partners in an ecosystem to accelerate a technology 5G capability check. It will allow to begin development of industrial equipment with functions 5G, to accelerate application development and to integrate a 5G into future industrial processes and systems.

In addition to cooperation with an ecosystem which is engaged in private wireless networks and includes operators of cloud providers, system integrators, strategic consultants and industry specialists, Nokia will use the industry experience for implementation of transformational opportunities of a 5G in specific industry projects.

Support of standard architecture 3GPP R15 SA which is a basis for development of private 5G networks does the wireless solutions Nokia 5G SA by the main platform for support of future industry functions and opportunities. Among them — communication with a low delay (Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication, URLLC), the network technologies sensitive by the time of (Time-Sensitive Networking, TSN), and other industry solutions which will be included in future releases of standard 5G 3GPP (R16-18).

Besides, Nokia announced a number of improvements for solutions of family 4.9G/LTE:

• A radio system for the range-87 (410 MHz) is created that will expand coverages of national private wireless networks which are important for development of Internet of Things, public security, transport and municipal services.
• Bandwidth in TD-LTE config 0 Uplink channel for quality improvement of video services and machine private wireless applications is expanded.
• Support of network segmentation 4.9G/LTE in separate wireless judgments is expanded that will allow to select virtual segments of networks with a performance for specific objectives^[1].
