5G transport solutions for CSPs and neutral hosts

The evolution of mobile access requires deep fiberization up to the RAN antenna sites to match the high bandwidth demand. Transport networks must provide access connectivity to centralized locations of mobile baseband units. New, specifically designed Time-Sensitive Network (TSN) solutions based on Nokia's 1830 TPS allow for the optimimal use of fibre and bandwidth assets in this network segment, while simultaneously adhering to the most stringent requirements (Latency and Synchronisation) set by 5G mobile RAN.

Network-wide synchronization operations management

Nokia's packet optical transport systems such as the 1830 PSS and 1830 TPS fully implement and go beyond SyncE and PTP standards by providing enhanced synchronization layer management, monitoring and supervision capabilities. In addition, these systems enable powerful network-layer synchronization management through WaveSuite's Synchronizer application. These powerful tools are important in achieving superior synchronization performance and visibility of the network. Nokia will showcase leadership in synchronization OAM by demonstrating strong fault and performance management capabilities in its solutions.
