Nokia Telco Cloud The f acts 

Nokia has now brought the telco cloud to commercial readiness and is building a telco cloud partner program to

support it. The Nokia Telco Cloud solution complies with ETSI NFV reference architecture, is platform agnostic

and is comprehensive, encompassing virtualized network functions, telco cloud management and services for

successful operator transformation towards telco cloud. Nokia can integrate the solution with operator telco

cloud platforms or can provide a full telco cloud solution to meet operator needs.

What is Telco Cloud?

• Telco Cloud enables network functions to run on standard IT hardware in a virtualized manner, referred to as

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV).

• Telco Cloud further enables the separation of network control and user data, referred to as Software Defined

Networking (SDN).

• Telco Cloud also makes use of programmable resources provided in an “as-a-Service” model, as in Cloud

Computing.

Why do operators need Telco Cloud?

• To help manage unpredictable data growth created by, for example, video streaming.

• To help create network experience as an additional revenue driver.• To reduce total cost of ownership (TCO).

• To help speed up innovation cycles. For example, the time from coding to launch is much shorter in a cloud

environment than in a classical telco environment.

What experience does Nokia bring to the table?

• Nokia launched Liquid Core at the Broadband World Forum (BBWF) in 2011.

• Nokia had a first proof of concept for telco cloud based on COTS ATCA in 2012.

• Nokia provided the first VoLTE over Telco Cloud live system integrated into a multivendor network for

Vodafone at the IFA, Berlin.

• Nokia and SKT completed the world’s first proof-of-concept for Liquid Applications over LTE in September

2013.

• Nokia shipped the first commercial telco cloud core solution for VoLTE in 2014.

What is our value proposition and preliminary business plan?

• Position Nokia as a Telco Cloud software integrator as well as a full solution provider.

• Nokia’s core software (SDM, IMS, EPC) is already hardware independent.

• Nokia creates an open standard, ETSI NFV compliant Telco Cloud architecture.

• Nokia’s Liquid Applications already takes advantage of the cloud in radio access.

• Nokia provides end-to-end services for telco cloud for successful operator cloud transformation.
