Nokia 5G SA selected by LMT in Latvia
Nokia’s 5G Standalone (SA) Core has been selected by Latvian operator LMT to deliver advanced 5G services such as network slicing, while monetising its network assets.
The deal widens Nokia’s footprint with LMT, which already uses Nokia Cloud Packet Core, software solutions for 5G signalling and cloud management.
The operator will give LMT the speed, intelligence and scale to deliver 5G services while cost-effectively managing its network, Nokia said in a statement.
5G SA Core will also allow LMT to launch low-latency applications for its enterprise customers, while also building new capabilities within the network including APIs and analytics.
