Nokia and AT&T Mexico have recently announced a collaboration which is expected to bring the benefits of 5G to the country.
AT&T Mexico’s 5G Innovation Lab chose Nokia as a strategic partner with the aim of exploring the development of 5G use cases suited for Mexico and the local 5G ecosystem.
With the project underway, it is expected to conclude in late 2022.
Not long ago, AT&T Mexico inaugurated the 5G Innovation Lab to take advantage of the company’s infrastructure and global experience in telecommunications.
The new partnership will see Nokia provide equipment from its energy-efficient 5G AirScale RAN portfolio, powered by its latest ReefShark System-on-Chip chipset, whilst also providing connectivity for 3G and 4G LTE services using the same hardware while offering a seamless upgrade path to 5G.
“We are committed to providing our customers with the best experience possible,” explained Nicole Rodriguez, CTO at AT&T Mexico. “As we move forward with the deployment of our 5G network, we need the latest technology and the most reliable support services.”
Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks at Nokia, added: “We are excited to be part of this important milestone as a strategic partner for AT&T Mexico. Our latest AirScale portfolio creates a strong foundation for the operator’s 5G evolution, enabling super-fast mobile connectivity and innovative use cases for its customers.”
