In a statement, Nokia explained that the international contract includes the 5G RAN mobile network in the three countries, as well as the independent 5G core (Standalone) in Serbia and Slovenia, and the deployment has already started in Bulgaria and will begin soon in the other countries.
Currently, Nokia is already a 5G provider in A1 Austria, will expand its strategic alliance with the new contract and will provide its new 5G AirScale RAN equipment, as well as other related products from its radio access portfolio, which will deliver incredible speeds, connectivity and capacity to subscribers.
