Danish mobile operators Telenor and Telia have enlisted Finnish vendor Nokia to help them test 5G mobile technology from the second quarter of 2019. The tests will utilise the network belonging to TT-Netvaerket, the joint infrastructure company established by the two cellcos in February 2012.
For the purpose of the 5G pilot, Nokia will deploy AirScale base stations and test new functions in both the RAN and the cloud-core network. The trials will support 5G user cases such as robotics control, industrial automation, 5G/LTE dual connectivity and fixed wireless access for high-performance last-mile connectivity.
