Extending to enterprise private wireless on partner cloud core
Nokia anyRAN for enterprise offers more choice and flexibility for enterprises through collaboration with best-in-class system integrators and cloud core solution providers alongside providing Nokia’s AirScale radio access portfolio to suit their specific requirements. This helps enterprise accelerate and simplify the adoption of 5G for digital transformation.
Field-proven network efficiency
Efficiency for nationwide public and on-premises enterprise radio access – and anything in between
5G networks are reliably serving subscribers across entire countries through cells served by thousands to hundreds of thousands of radio units. Cloud networks are expanding to the edge. In 5G and Cloud, operators and enterprises seek efficiency gains: with its anyRAN approach Nokia maximizes the baseband options to make the most of the radio units and optimize overall operational and energy efficiency.
Nokia anyRAN solution provides operators the freedom to choose how to build their network from any mixture of purpose built RAN and Cloud RAN. It also gives the possibility of combining different ways of building their Cloud RAN on on-premise, hybrid or public cloud, based on the selected server vendors and/or the service of webscales.

Future-ready performance
5G layer 1 imposes stringent real-time processing requirements on the vDU. Similar to computer graphic cards, Nokia Cloud RAN Smart NIC card integrates In-line acceleration and whole L1 SW, this card can be used with multiple different GPP which are processing L2/L3. This provides for efficient and flexible scalability. Nokia anyRAN makes field-proven, energy-efficient and high-performance L1 In-Line acceleration available on Nokia's and any partner's cloud and server offerings - allowing to benefit from leading RAN software, leading remote radio heads and massive MIMO antennas in any network constellation: cloud, purpose-built or hybrid-networks.
Driving a wide supplier ecosystem and excellent customer experience
Nokia anyRAN provides a flexible and open path to scalable benefits through combining the best-of-breed hardware and software components and different hardware and CaaS platform options. It ensures enhanced flexibility to support the future deployment models and use cases required by CSPs and enterprises.
