Nokia Networks offers NFV complaint cloud solution for VoLTE

Nokia Networks on Thursday said it is the first vendor to supply telecom cloud solution compliant with ETSI NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) architecture for VoLTE (Voice over LTE) services.

The company also said a major telecom operator will be deploying the NFV solution by the end of 2014.

Nokia Networks said running VoLTE on a cloud platform enables telecom operators to scale and cope with varying traffic by automating the mobile network functions.

“The prime motivations for operators to move to the telecom cloud are business agility and network flexibility. We are making 2014 the year in which these benefits become reality for operators,” said Michael Clever, senior vice president of Core at Nokia Networks.

Meanwhile, Nokia Networks said its newly launched Cloud Network Director orchestration tool will automatically deploy, configure, optimize and repair a set of virtualized network functions to simplify the deployment of services like VoLTE.

Cloud Network Director will have open interfaces for easy integration with Virtualized Network Function (VNF) managers from Nokia (called Cloud Application Manager) and other vendors. It will also be integrated with existing operations and business support systems.

Nokia Networks cloud wise services will provide the expertise to integrate, operate and maintain the commercial NFV VoLTE solution.
