Espoo, Finland - Nokia and Vodafone Italy, as part of a
recently awarded Italian Ministry of Economic Development (MISE) 5G
bid, have started a trial in Milan delivering innovative and smart
5G services for people in the northern Italian city, a hub for
industries such as banking and fashion as well as a popular tourist
destination. The first 5G site installations were done in December
and have continued with a demonstration of high-definition video
over 5G in one of the first field applications in Europe.
As the technology partner of Vodafone Italy's 5G Trial in Milan,
Nokia will provide 5G network and application solutions to support
the creation of a city-wide 5G test network. Nokia has started 5G
network deployment and field testing activities. The first 5G site
installations were completed in December and a demonstration of
high-definition video over pre-standard standalone 5G was
successfully performed on a live 5G site in one of the main central
locations of Milan.
This first test, performed with an experimental device provided
by PRISMA Telecom Testing connected to the Nokia massive MIMO 5G
solution, demonstrated how the very low latency of 5G can enhance
the customer experience of video applications. As part of the 5G
Trial in Milan, Vodafone and Nokia will also develop specific
advanced use cases across various industries.
In the trial, Nokia will employ the Nokia 5G AirScale massive
MIMO antenna, which supports both 4G and 5G, AirScale baseband
upgraded to support 5G, and Cloud Packet Core. Nokia will also
employ its Global Services expertise including network deployment,
integration and network performance optimization throughout the
trial.
