Network as Code
Nokia is working with mobile operators and developers to explore how best to tap the versatility and advanced capabilities of 5G technologies. At the Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland, for example, Elisa and Nokia have deployed a programmable 5G mmWave network to showcase advanced solutions, technologies and services for sports, entertainment and other events.
Nokia is looking to make it straightforward to programme a cloud-native 5G network to meet the connectivity needs of demanding applications. For example, a live high definition video stream might need enhanced throughput for a specific period of time or a remote control system might require low-latency connectivity. This kind of programmability would make it easier for mobile operators to monetise new software-based networks and open up new revenue streams.
To that end, Nokia has developed its Network as Code platform, which is intended to be a trusted two-sided ecosystem paradigm that abstracts network complexities and exposes developer-friendly interfaces that can be used to deploy apps across multiple public and private networks. Nokia is providing software development kits (SDKs) that remove the need for the app provider to know the details of how a network works or which provider is offering the service.
